Subject: YES on M to Stop Tenant Harassment
Date: Aug 24, 2008 10:50 AM

In June we saved rent control-in November we're going to make it stronger!

Prop M on the November ballot will add to rent control a section prohibiting
landlords from harassing tenants. Prop M will also enable tenants being
harassed to get rent reductions, a right not currently in the rent control
law. And, Prop M will also mandate that landlords pay tenants' attorneys'
fees whenever a tenant successfully contests an eviction.

Come help plan and organize the Yes on M campaign. Landlords are adamantly
against Prop M and are expected to spend upwards of half a million dollars
to defeat it. But we have lots of people and can beat their money with a
strong grass roots campaign.
 
Please Join us for the YES on M Campaign Planning Meeting this Saturday,
August 30, 2:30 PM at The Women's Building (Room A), 3543 18th St. at
Valencia.
