Campaign Launch & our FIRST Signature Gathering mobilization
The “Protect Oakland Renters Act” & initiative campaign officially starts this Saturday and we want each and every one of you to be part this movement moment!
This is the official launch of our effort to qualify a measure on the November 2016 Ballot to protect renters being displaced in droves by skyrocketing rents, unfair evictions, and unlawful practices. We will have a brief program and training on why the time is NOW to protect renters and take on Oakland’s growing displacement crisis, a quick “signature gathering 101” followed by heading out to neighborhoods and high traffic areas to speak directly with Oakland voters and collect signatures to qualify this measure on the November Ballot! Can we count on you to join us this Saturday?!
We are calling on all allies of renters, working families and communities of color being pushed out of the city to turn out in large numbers to show both the breadth and strength of the coalition, as well as to ensure that we have a solid crew of folks to kick off our volunteer signature gathering program!
