Many of us are looking for a place to rent.

But there is little available that we can afford!

And when any of us find something affordable, there are dozens of others of us applying to lease the same dwelling.

We’re sick of greedy developers mainly building homes for millionaires … when most people are not millionaires!

But grumbling won’t change things. It’s time to get organised, united and active!

Let’s Rally to Demand:

STOP HOUSING BEING BUILT ONLY FOR THE RICH!

PROVIDE PUBLIC HOUSING FOR THE WORKING CLASS!
