She is the only candidate in her race to have taken the No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge, the Homes Guarantee Pledge, the No Cop Money Pledge, and rejects the money of all corporate PACs.

In CA, a safe, affordable home is currently a privilege reserved for those who can afford our high housing costs.

#ACA10 would make adequate housing a constitutional HUMAN RIGHT- legally obligating gvmt to respect, protect, & fulfill that right. Join us!

A safe, affordable home shouldn't just be a privilege for those who can afford California's sky-high housing costs. Housing should be a right guaranteed to every Californian, no matter your employment status or income level.

We must #PassACA10 now!

National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law

A profit driven housing market will never build or preserve the permanently affordable housing units we need, leaving CA facing a future where low-wage & minimum-wage workers have nowhere to live, while tent encampments grow and more people are forced to live on the street. 13/20
