Dear Greens,

    As we move into winter, there are a number of housing-related
events coming up.

    Please join us today at City Hall as we rally for real rent
control!

    Barry Hermanson, Green candidate for Congress, wrote an article
in the BayView newspaper about housing as a human right:

    We're currently planning our Green Holiday Party in SF; email
cc at sfgreens.org if you can help.

What:  Fight for Real Rent Control
Where:  Front Steps SF City Hall, SF
When:  Tue, Dec 5, 11:30 am

The time for real Rent Control is Now!
Let's Repeal the Costa Hawkins Rental Law!
Join tenants and tenant advocates for a rally followed by march to the
State Building

Costa Hawkins is the main state law that incentives landlords to
harass and push out long-time tenants to spike the rents to rates most
of us can't afford.  AB 1506, the assembly bill calling for the repeal
of Costa Hawkins, is in the Assembly Housing Committee, chaired by
Assemblyman David Chiu.  We need a vote on AB-1506 to get it out of
committee and on to the full assembly.  Rally is Sponsored by the San
Francisco Anti-Displacement Coalition, Senior and Disability Action,
Tenants Together and other groups.

On Friday, December 8, at 7 p.m., Living Wage will be hosting a
