Get Political
Tenant rights in California are
weak. Tenants as a group don't vote, don't contact the
politicians, or organize. Renters are the majority of California,
yet politicians favor the landlords,
who vote, organize, pay for political campaigns [with YOUR rent money].
Register
to Vote
Only about 5%
of tenants vote. Change that. Register
to vote, now. It only takes a minute, on line.
Find and Contact Your
Politicians
The elected officials work for you.
Don't be afraid to tell them what they need to do. Start
with your State Assemblyman.
