Please join us in expressing your support for this initiative by writing a letter to the Gainesville City Commission here
Even a message as simple as “I am writing in support of the proposed rental housing ordinance” is great, but feel free to write more about your experience as a renter in this or other communities. Right now, Commissioners friendly to this initiative tell us that they’re being swamped with calls and emails from business interests who oppose this initiative–we have to counter them!
You can find some letters of support written by ACLC members here
Other ways that you can help:
1) Attending the September 3rd meeting where the City Commission will have its first vote on the Renters’ Rights Ordinance
2) Calling other supporters to encourage them to contact the Commission as well
3) Submitting a Letter to the Editor to the Gainesville Sun in support of renters’ rights
