“It’s not the development; it’s the gentrification." Check out Burnaby ACORN member Murray Martin talking to @TheTyee about why tenant displacement and unaffordable housing are the REAL boogeymen when it comes to upzoning and densification.

Pic was sent to ACORN by a tenant in a building owned by Peter Wall & Wall Financial—a crumbling hole in a balcony!! This is why we need to STAND UP FOR SURREY & fight for ACORN's housing justice platform at City Hall tomorrow. RU with us in the fight for housing justice?
This is Adriana Sadowska, an ACORN Tenant Union representative from Surrey. She's going to City Hall this Wednesday to fight for our Stand Up for Surrey housing justice platform — are you coming with us? fb.me/e/1wwejox00
ACORN’s Stand Up For Surrey Housing Platform has two very simple, critical demands that would enable our government to stand up for healthy homes for all. The current bylaw has not been updated in over a decade. It’s simple—stand up for Surrey, stand up for housing justice!
Supply is NOT the only solution to the housing crisis, and it's time the Federal government got that message! Sign on to our online action to demand real housing justice for working-class people! tinyurl.com/4jwnt2sc
New report released by the BCGEU demonstrates vacancy control is a common-sense policy urgently needed to address housing crisis: bcgeu.ca/new_report_dem…

We're excited about this first step towards New West having a bylaw on the books protecting renters from extreme heat!
We're excited about this first step towards New West having a bylaw on the books protecting renters from extreme heat!
We're big supporters of the radical notion that renters deserve safe homes, and that includes being protected from extreme heat. New West City Council is discussing a possible max. heat bylaw tonight– come support New West ACORN members delegating in support!
Every time a new headline like this comes out, a landlord somewhere starts printing eviction papers for their long-term tenant. #endnofaultevictions

@BC_ACORN These are some of @BC_ACORN's demands: x.com/BC_ACORN/statu…
ACORN’s Stand Up For Surrey Housing Platform has two very simple, critical demands that would enable our government to stand up for healthy homes for all. The current bylaw has not been updated in over a decade. It’s simple—stand up for Surrey, stand up for housing justice!
We’ve heard about #BedBug issues on the subway and at Paris fashion week, but what about the crisis in Toronto homes? ACORN brought the fight for healthy, bed bug free homes for tenants at 444 Lumsden Ave straight to Toronto Community Housing. Everyone deserves #HealthyHomes
Personal update. Very happy to report that I've accepted the position of program coordinator with Organizing for Change (OFC). I'll be helping deliver training to activists and bringing the asks of BC's biggest enviro groups into alignment. Very excited! organizingforchange.org
There, you can find more details on how to register, background info on Lansdowne 2.0, and a framework on how to structure your deputation!
The NERVE of the city to use taxpayer $$ on a project that offers ZERO affordable housing during a housing crisis! Tell councillors to vote NO on Lansdowne 2 by doing a deputation to council on Nov 2! Check out our deputations cheat sheet on our linktree: linktr.ee/OttawaACORN
Halifax seniors like Pat Donovan and Marjorie Pemberton are struggling with housing costs. Public housing waitlists are long, showing a lack of priority for seniors' needs. We are calling for more government action to prevent homelessness among seniors who often rely on savings.
Is the landlord lobby not embarrassed to act like this? No shame.
"The group does not explain on social media what it means by force". Landlord Today having a normal one about the mighty ACORN again. Rattled.
ICYMI—Tenants at 2255 Weston Rd, the building owned by Firm Capital (where management tries to intimidate tenants by weaponizing police, where a crumbling&flooding garage is used to justify an AGI, where repairs and roaches go unaddressed) are holding a speakout tomorrow at 1PM.
This is what solidarity looks like. The working class stands together. Unionized workers show up for each other forever and always.
ACORN Brum wins again! Our member Robin was threatened with a no fault eviction. We sent a letter to the landlord & after getting no response, our members & Robin carried out a march on the landlord. She has now been offered a suitable tenancy & is settling into her new home ✊🏽
Keep hearing that homeowners can’t afford more than a 2.5% tax increase Someone with a 700,000 home would pay an extra $20 per year in property taxes if raised an extra .5% Meanwhile our tiny apartment’s 2.5% rent increase cost us $560 this year Does anyone care about renters?
Trust us, we have no vested interest in squeezing as much out of people as possible and just want to help people have nice homes to live in

was thinking more abt this vote earlier, and: - they got their jabs in. they can claim they tried to be reasonable w/ their amendments to slow it down - voting for it is a better look to renters - voting against it wouldn't have changed anything but be a bad look to renters
@dustbobgod I admit, this surprised me. I guess even they realized it's not a good look to essentially tell vulnerable people their lives aren't as valuable as landlords' investment opportunities.
Thanks to councillors @NadineNakagawa and Tasha Henderson for bringing this important motion last night. NW tenants came out to speak and made sure there was an audience until the decision at nearly 10pm. All credit to organizer @brwarner92 for the great turnout.
Last night New West City council passed a motion to explore ways to make cooling in rental units a necessity. This is essential to ensure rental units are livable. 1/
Yes, we need to be concerned about housing affordability. But in case you’re not paying attention, housing affordability is an oxymoron. Costs are spiralling out of control at a fast rate - and that is housing you might die in when it gets hot. 7/
