Renters in the City of Rockville are exempted from Montgomery County's new rent stabilization law 😢
BUT the Rockville City Council can pass an even stronger bill!
Join a canvass this Saturday to talk to Rockville renters about rent stabilization.

Last year, thanks to tenants & organizers, @MoCoCouncilMD passed a historic law to limit rent increases and fees.
Now, the County Council must approve regulations to enforce rent stabilization.

Last week, we had our final YPP teach-in of the year: “Community Control of the Police and the Environment.” Each speaker inspired us to take action in our communities; our only path to victory is through the power of the people!

Petros Bein, a YPP member, explained basic Marxist terms to the group. By analyzing our issues through the lens of class conflict and anti-capitalism, we will be able to approach each of our problems in a more consistent way.
