It’s time for rent control nationwide!

Really happy to have had my modest contribution on the legal context for rent control included in this incredible resource from PolicyLink. I truly believe that tenant organizers and housing justice wonks and lawyers will be citing this report for years to come.

Instead of investing in housing or addressing record homelessness, Sec. Turner is helping terrorize immigrant communities while spreading misinformation about his own agency’s programs.
Free Mahmoud Khalil!
There is no other way to put it: Mahmoud Khalil’s illegal detention at the hands of the Trump administration is horrific.
I’m incredibly disappointed in the Senate’s vote to pass Republicans’ partisan spending bill.
Democrats should not be complicit in giving a blank check to Trump and Elon Musk.
Fighting back for the American people is the only way forward.
One day before ICE agents arrested him, Mahmoud Khalil appealed to Columbia University for help and protection:
“I haven’t been able to sleep, fearing that ICE or a dangerous individual might come to my home. I urgently need legal support, and I urge you to intervene...”
Photo of tents on a college campus in an encampment protest for Palestine with protesters wearing keffiyehs. Text reads: Free Mahmoud Khalil. Tell universities: Protest students from Trump's abductions
ALERT: Trump just threatened to ramp up attacks on campus activism and arrest students across the country.
‼️Tell universities to establish sanctuary spaces ASAP and protect their students!
