    We know that the rent is STILL too damn high. Landlords have too much power over our lives and our homes. They hike our rent, offer slow maintenance or none at all, evict us, and discriminate.

    The federal government is in business with many landlords, offering them favorable loan terms to finance their businesses. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, also known as the “Government Sponsored Enterprises,” work with banks to offer $150 billion to landlords in financing every year, without any strings attached. They need to hear from us clearly that we want tenant protections attached to federal money for housing
    Landlords are forcing untenable conditions on tenants–something's got to give. We have less than 60 days to organize a powerful response and make it clear that the government must step in and make new rules to protect tenants
