"The corporate real estate industry’s over-the-top response to the news that advocates are pursuing a rent stabilization ballot initiative in 2026 shows exactly why this policy is desperately needed."

We can't believe corporate landlords don't support limiting rent increases 🫢😂!

Renters and small homeowners across MA want stability. Rent stabilization is 1 of several necessary tools to prevent displacement & keep our communities here.

I miss Derwin so much already, even though I feel his spirit is still with us. He genuinely loved being in community and supporting his neighbors, and was so open to learning new things and growing every week. He's the best. We love you Derwin!

Remember how DSF Group bought Fairlawn in Mattapan in 2018 to take advantage of new T stop residents had fought for, rebranding it “SoMa at the T” & trying to force out those residents?

After 6 yrs, tenants won permanently affordability for all 347 units at Fairlawn #BosPoli 🔗 bit.ly/40iQayp

This is where the Abundance Movement's push for deregulation inevitably ends up.

In the name of "eliminating red tape," we get legislation preventing any state/local regulation of Big Tech, which delivers Rent Increases For All 👇
🚨INVESTIGATION: Donors from a real estate/tech giant facing rent-gouging lawsuits funneled campaign cash to GOP lawmakers.
