Stand in solidarity with San Rafael tenants at their biggest mobilization yet! We will demand that the San Rafael City Council center tenant voices and enact local ordinances that actually ensure affordability and prevent displacement. At this meeting, the San Rafael City Council will discuss temporary Just Cause eviction protections that do not truly address San Rafael tenants’ dire situations. Please join us for a rally outside City Hall at 5:30 PM to hear from tenants. We will all walk into City Hall together at 6 PM so city leaders face an unmissable wall of San Rafael renters and their allies demanding real, permanent protections citywide. Signs + public comments encouraged, but not required!PLEASE RSVP for talking points.
