This is not the outcome we hoped for, but it is one that our movements are prepared for.

For decades our movements have fought righteously and courageously to make California more inclusive and equitable and to break from our dark and divisive past.

And we need strong, statewide protections against predatory rent increases and eviction that we won’t get until Californians demand them.”
