October 1, 2015: Redwood City March
On Thursday, October 1, 2015, activists, organizers, and community members took the the streets of Redwood City, San Francisco to demonstrate about the need for rent control in the community. As major tech businesses funnel into the area, many residence are being displaced due to unprecedented rent increases and commercial sales aiming to capitalize on the influx of new, wealthy industry employees. With no safeguards and minimal tenant rights, residents are urging the local government to investigate rent control as a way to stabilize their community and keep families in place.
