Right to counsel is really important to guarantee renters a fair hearing in eviction court. The @NEWR_Boulder ballot measure passed in 2020 and now @NEWRDenver is trying to put a similar measure on the ballot. You don't have to be a Denver resident to help collect signatures!
This was the scene outside a #Denver apartment yesterday morning, as the sheriff showed up at 7 am to evict a young woman DURING AN EVICTION MORATORIUM. This is needlessly cruel. We need permanent protections for renters! #RightToCounsel

A tenant's blood plasma vs. the return rate that these multifamily investment companies promise their investors. That's the context under which evictions are occurring in #Denver and around the country. Our "rental system" is an extortion racket.
Behemoth corporate landlord @InvitationHomes suggests that tenants in arrears could fundraise by selling their own hair, plasma or donor eggs. Despite @CDCgov eviction moratorium they file for eviction and win. One cannot make this stuff up.

We've collected 62% (2054 signatures) of our goal of 3,336, but that won't mean anything if we don't reach 100%! Help spread the word in your networks and get us to our goal! #boulder bedroomsareforpeople.com/sig…

Decades of a housing crisis followed by a pandemic has left CO renters more vulnerable than ever. @COSenDem must step up to pass basic tenant protections. Don’t water down #SB173! @PeteLeeColorado @JeffBridges @Zenzinger_AtoZ
#SB173 is on the floor now and facing down hostile amendments designed to specifically weaken protections for low-income renters. Please take a minute and call on @COSenDem to pass a clean version of the bill. #KeepColoradansHoused

Even within the court system, the whole eviction process is set up to rely on a landlord’s word - that the eviction is lawful, the tenant has been properly notified, etc. #RightToCounsel makes sure the landlord’s voice isnt the only one in the room when losing a home is at stake!

This week, we got to testify about SB 21-173. In favor: tenants, small landlords, faith leaders, and housing policy experts from across the state. Opposed: paid lobbyists and eviction lawyers. Make no mistake: the fight over this bill is the people vs. the powerful.
