Join us tomorrow at 10am et for a Senate Committee hearing on “How Private Equity Landlords are Changing the Housing Market” with testimony from Holly Hook of MHAction.org and our own Deputy Campaign Director of Housing, Sofia Lopez!I'm Holly Hook, and I’m deeply honored to be representing all of the families and members that have been building MHAction for this past decade.

I’m thankful for the opportunity to be one of the witnesses at the hearing, because we know firsthand what these changes mean for our communities.

Today's hearing was *supposed* to be about private equity and housing.

But did that stop Sen. Toomey from redbaiting @ACREcampaigns, indicting public housing/NYCHA and taking shots at Schumer? Nope!

Maybe we can we talk about the actual issues one day 😒 https://twitter.com/SenateBanking/status/1451179303132086273

Private equity's business model has always been preying on people for a quick buck.

Today at 10 AM, we’ll look at exactly how the private equity industry has bought up homes, raised rents, and locked families out of the housing market.
