A great deal of discussion about police abolition concerns non-police responses to violent crime, but most police work is unrelated to violent crime. Most, maybe all, of this is economic in nature – designed to keep working people from using productive property to meet their own needs directly – to keep the commons enclosed. This work means the police are inextricably integrated into the economy in surprising ways that are largely undiscussed in the context of abolition, which would trigger monumental, almost unimaginable changes in how we as a society meet our human needs through work. It’s likely that the end of policing would mean the end of capitalism, which suggests that it won’t be easy to achieve given the magnitude of what’s at stake.

"If it appears on the ballot as a choice for voters, it will make it look like they are choosing between two ordinances," Dorn said. "But Measure Two is already law, and that will not change even if voters vote on it."

I'm at the #Tacoma City Council meeting with #Tacoma4All bc our #CityofTacoma is about to float a competing initiative to #Initiative1-2023

Our Initiative was put together by citizen stakeholders to improve the #TenantsRights situation in Tacoma. The City's competing initiative is a landlord-lobby tactic intended to confuse #voters who have, so far, been extremely supportive.

SHAME ON YOU, City Council. With Dems like this, who needs #Republicans?

still buzzing from my first canvassing for #tenantsrights in #concordca a couple weeks ago

talked to a few tenants of a property that was clearly half way through long overdue renovations, that faced the classic problems of hidden charges, double charges, landlord harassment about parking usage, pests and other serious habitability issues

My city, #Alameda, is considering Capital Improvement passthroughs of $150-300 per month, bypassing rent control caps, to benefit billionaire Investment firm Blackstone. Corporations all
over the #SFBayArea are exploiting this loophole. Meeting May 1st. Info: https://mailchi.mp/4561d3838c9f/arc-summer-picnic-and-city-council-election-6240045

Hi, future landlord. So you want to see my last 3 months of bank statements on top of 100 points of ID?

How about YOU SHOW ME…

3 months of your social media posts, so I can see your attitude to community, plus 3 months of bank statements so I can see that you can afford urgent repairs.

Email or call the offices of Senator Meek and Senator Sollman to let them know that you support SB 611 as-is and oppose the amendments ASAP this morning 4/3. If you’re a renter, tell them what a 10-15% rent increase would mean to you and your family and why they need to put tenant’s interests first and not the landlord lobby.

Hail, to the tenants of Kansas City!
Their courage has been a great victory.
They've gathered and stood
For those needing a good
A home to call their own, the renters will never be forced out meekly!
