A Call For Support
Despite a growing number of tenants across the city joining the movement and learning their rights, the speculation and displacement crisis is spreading. Only truly bold solutions will work to keep long-time and low-income tenants in their homes. With four decades of wins alongside fierce campaings for tenant rights behind us, we are positioning ourselves to take on bigger and harder fights. This includes the fight for real rent control and stopping evictions, and we need your help! Being audacious isn’t easy, but we have the roots to make bold moves. In this crucial moment, we need partners to be courageous with us to ensure HRCSF has enough resources to protect what we have built, while taking on what lies ahead and winning big. Your support will help stabilize and expand our long-haul struggle for housing justice and homes for all.
We Shall Not Be Moved!
