A) Write a social media caption to accompany this meme calling for corporate accountability for inflation, housing crisis, and climate change. The Call to Action included in the caption should be to request signatures in support of SB567 (Homelessness Prevention Act). SB567 would lower the rent cap, expand the applicability and enforcement of the Tenant Protection Act, and strengthen “No Fault” eviction laws (which give renters first right of refusal if a landlord is attempting substantial rehabilitation and/or owner or relative move-in).
