We’re thinking of Maricarmen and standing in solidarity with tenants across Spain. Maricarmen could be any of us. When the interests of speculators matter more than everyday tenants, our homes and our lives are put at risk. That’s why we organize—for housing, dignity, and justice for all. #TodosSomosMaricarmen edition.cnn.com/2026/10/07/e…

The fine print matters. Prop 43 gives corporations more power to avoid paying their fair share while making it harder for local voters to fund firefighters, 911 response, and essential services. #NoOn43CA #Prop43

We were honored to join @nmasunivision’s mayoral & gubernatorial candidate town halls alongside partners like @CPColectivo, speaking with candidates about issues impacting our communities, including housing. 📺 Tune in tonight at 7 PM PT for the LA mayoral town hall on @nmasunivision! Local leadership has statewide impacts. We look forward to working with whoever is elected to advance housing justice across California.

We're dissapointed in @CAGovernor's decision to veto AB 1166, which was an opportunity to help CAdevelop a comprehensive plan to address our housing and homelessness crises. As the world’s fourth-largest economy, California should be investing at the scale this crisis demands. Yet the state spends less than 0.5% of its annual budget on housing and homelessness solutions. We will keep fighting to ensure California has the resources, accountability, and roadmap needed to ensure that all Californians have a home.

The @sacbee_news editorial board is raising concerns about Prop 43’s two thirds voting requirement and what it could mean for local funding decisions. The board is urging Californians to vote NO on Prop 43. #NoOn43CA

Local communities rely on services like fire departments, schools and hospitals every day. David Green, President @SEIU721 and Executive Board Member @seiucalifornia opposes Prop 43. #NoOn43CA

Replying to @sacbee_news
@SacBee_News: Prop 45 will "rewrite environmental regulations to favor corporations over community groups and anyone else who might worry about what’s being built in their area, under the garb of affordability" sacbee.com/news/politics-gov…"

Proposition 3 will appear on the November 2026 ballot, asking California voters to permanently extend higher income tax rates on top earners. First enacted in 2012 and renewed in 2016, these rates make sure our schools are funded and protect healthcare and essential community services. Without this measure, the current tax rates will expire after 2030, cutting state revenue by billions annually and threatening funding for critical programs. #yeson3ca

Just 99 billionaires, corporations & allied groups spent $5.8B on California state politics over 20 years—more than the bottom 99.9% of Californians combined. The California Oligarch Index shows who’s behind the money and how it shapes fights over housing, healthcare, wages & more. As we head into 2026, know who’s funding campaigns. californiaoligarchs.com

🏠 California needs more affordable homes. Prop. 1 would provide $11.25 billion in bonds for affordable housing programs, including housing for veterans, working families, farmworkers, students, and other Californians. Learn more at yesonprop1ca.org #YesOnProp1

“At a time when our air quality is at grave risk to federal clean air rollbacks, attacks on California’s Clean Air Act authority and legislation to weaken clean air protections, Proposition 45 would invite even more pollution into California neighborhoods.” said Will Barrett, Assistant Vice President of Nationwide Policy, Clean Air @LungAssociation #NoOn45CA

"Each time we were told to wait for a better moment, and each time the people told to wait were gone before it came. There is never a good moment to ask the city’s prosperity to house the people who make it possible — which is why this one will have to do." quintinmecke.substack.com/p/…
