Get a Yard Sign – Make Your Support for Tenant Rights Visible!
By Ty Moore
With the corporate landlords statewide preparing to dump hundreds of thousands into Tacoma to defeat our grassroots coalition, it’s time to make our broad community support visible. That’s where YOU come in. With just seven weeks until election day, we need to get hundreds of our beautiful yard signs up across Tacoma over the next couple weeks.
Sign up for a yard sign here and we’ll have a volunteer swing by as soon as possible to stake one in!
We’ll put up yard signs for free to everyone who wants them, but they did cost us a pretty penny – even as we are scrambling to raise money for mailers and ads to answer the coming barrage of deceptive mailers and ads.
Can you pitch in $10, $25, or $250 today to help defray our yard sign costs and make sure we have the resources we’ll need to reach voters with our answers to the corporate landlord lies?
If you can volunteer to distribute yard signs, we could definitely use the help! Sign up here to volunteer and we’ll be in touch.
By joining hands together, by standing firm with our most vulnerable neighbors, we can win this fight. We can defend Tacoma from the wealth-stripping private equity firms and corporate landlords who increasingly dominate our real estate market. And can protect our democracy from the outside corporate money coming in to buy this election.
I can see this being heavy handed. What about the landlords rights? The ones whom monthly rental income is their sole means for providing for their families. Not all landlords are wealthy rental investors.
How about the hardships that they will incur? and these are the very people providing housing for families and others.
Is it okay if they become homeless as well since part of what's being proposed is no evictions for nearly nine months? How are landlords going to be able to afford their mortgage and support their families especially if their sole income is rental income. Their are lots of small rental investors out their.
Where is the empathy for them? Because I know some hard working small time landlords that are fearful do the proposal at hand.
Just seems way to bias. Unless the ultimate goal is to provide people with free housing on the landlords dime? So landlords would opt to discontinue on purchasing homes as rental properties and having to sell their current properties since they can not evict a tenant for 9 months. How will they be able to pay their mortgages. It seems the goal is to help families stay in homes at the expense of others? I'm a native tacoman and just want to understand where is the fairness for such landlords that provide us a place to stay?
