“This campaign’s goal is to implement a citywide guarantee where all renters will be provided with representation in cases of eviction, without any barriers. We encourage campaign organizers and supporters to come and speak at this event to demand that this program be passed."

"This issue is about economic and racial justice," the organizers said. "Neighborhoods targeted by developers are often overwhelmingly Black, Latinx, and working class, and face the highest rates of evictions. Evictions lead to involuntary moves or even homelessness, making it difficult for people and families to access employment, education, and securing future housing."
