What if the fight for fair rent could start with just one groundbreaking bill? Join us as we welcome Bill Bateman from the Oregon State Tenants Association, who shares compelling insights into tenant advocacy and the legislative journey of a transformative bill led by Pam Marsh. This proposal aims to revolutionize the way rent increases are handled, tying them directly to the cost of living and alleviating arbitrary financial pressures on tenants. With the bill having successfully passed judicial review, we're on the edge of significant progress. We'll also discuss an ongoing survey that captures the real-life impact of rent hikes on tenants, providing vital evidence to support this legislative push.

Engagement is the key to making this vision a reality. We invite all members—past, present, and future—to become active participants in this movement, emphasizing the power of teamwork and collective action. Bill shares a lighthearted story that underscores the influence of tenant advocacy on property managers, illustrating that change is not only possible but already underway. We can tackle ignorance and persist through challenges by fostering continued communication with legislators and staying informed. Let's unite to support one another, turning ambitious goals into remarkable achievements.
