MoCo Rally For Renters 1

Rockville Maryland, January 30, 2023. Around 150 activists gathered in front of the Montgomery County Council Building for a rally with speeches in favor of upcoming rent stabilization legislation. Groups represented here today include CASA, Jews United For Justice, MoCo DSA, More Network, Poor Peoples Campaign, Everyday Canvassing, Our Revolution, Young People For Progress and more. This is a powerful coalition and it is growing. Inside the housing commitee of the Council was meeting to decide when rent stabilization legislation could be voted on. By my count a majority of Council members will be in favor of some kind of stabilization, probably at the level of three to six percent. Hard to say if this will be a permanent or temporary measure. The main opponent of fair rent in MoCo is my District 1 Council member Andrew Friedson, whose famiily has been active in the real estate biz. Another thing you really need to know about Andrew is that just before the 2022 election he was sitting on the largest campaign contribution stash ($500,000+) of any Council member even though he was running essentially unapposed. Any guess where most of that money came from?
