California Calls is proud to have been part of the effort to pass ACA 13. A majority vote is the foundation of our democracy ⚖️
Thank you to the elected leaders who defended our rights and protected our democracy!
We’re putting the power of direct democracy back where it belongs: in the hands of the voters. #AB421 is a major step in strengthening our democracy and holding corporations accountable! It's time to stop corporations from manipulating our laws and misleading voters.

📣Hey Central Valley fam! Join @faithinvalley in Modesto for a #HomeisSacred action on Aug 24 with @JuanAlanisCA. We'll discuss #SB567, the #HomelessnessPreventionAct, and how to keep families housed by creating a California where everyone belongs and has a home.

It's absolutely outrageous to see these big businesses trying to twist the rules meant to ensure our voices are heard. politi.co/3qrDIgZ via @JeremyBWhite

As thousands of film and TV actors with @sagaftra surpass 100 days of striking, they’re noting how hard it is to afford rent and healthcare. Only 12.7% of the 160,000 SAG-AFTRA members make the minimum $26,470 required to qualify for union health insurance.

"Families like Antonio Avila Garcia's paid rent every month for 10 years, but a loophole allows landlords to kick tenants out. We support the #HomelessnessPreventionAct to stop corporate landlords from using reno-victions #SB567

SACRAMENTO ALERT 🚨 TOMORROW at 11AM the Sac Law & Leg Committee will decide whether #TAHO is heard by the City Council or if it DIES! 😱
Sac tenants like Markita need TAHO, whom was being evicted by her landlord for having stood up to him for overcharging her for rent! 😡

Ginger Hitzke is a Southern California landlord and real estate developer and she believes we need stronger renter protections to prevent homelessness #SB567 #HomelessnessPreventionAct
We know building new housing won't be impacted by rent control and just cause eviction laws. What we need is stronger tenant protections by passing #HomelessnessPreventionAct #SB567 so we can #KeepFamiliesHoused, that's actual homelessness prevention
As a landlord with 455 units, Hitzke supports #SB567 #HomelessnessPreventionAct. She says we can build the housing we need, but it's not enough. We can stop homelessness by passing strong renter protections to #KeepFamiliesHoused

The #HomelessnessPreventionAct was written so that our brothers and sisters in California no longer lose their homes unjustly. It's not just a matter of sound policy, #SB567 is part of our duty as a society to ensure everyone remains housed. Our #HomeisSacred. Pass SB567! #CALeg
If homelessness continues to increase in California at its current pace, by 2050 the homeless population will reach over 500,000 people. That’s more than the total number of people in Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno or Long Beach. Vote YES on #SB567 #HomelessnessPreventionAct
Failing to address the housing crisis in SoCal and the Bay Area exported it to the Central Valley. We need strong, statewide protections against predatory rent increases and eviction. Voting YES on #SB567 #HomelessnessPreventionAct is a step in the right direction

The overwhelming majority of 1,000 Fresno voters across the political spectrum support tenant protections and rent control, but the city's mayor and council have taken few steps to protect renters. Vote YES on #SB567 #HomelessnessPreventionAct
Because of local inaction, Fresno renters rely on state housing + homelessness policies more than other Californians. Voting YES on #SB567 #HomelessnessPreventionAct stops landlords from using loopholes around the few existing tenant protection policies + strengthens enforcement
