Marching for Rent Stabilization in Mountain View
Friday Rallies Lead Up to Planned Demonstration at City Council Meeting
Inspired by the recent success of the East Bay city of Richmond, members and allies of the Mountain View Tenants Coalition marched on three Fridays in August calling for rent stabilization in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Each Friday around 100 people snaked through the downtown area to the corner of El Camino Real to display placards to rush hour motorists. The Mountain View City Council will meet on September 8; the Friday rallies are the lead-up to a large demonstration planned in front of City Hall before protesters take placards calling for tenant protections into the public meeting that evening.
The rallies included members of working families in dire straits. Children as well as adults took to megaphones chanting "La renta sube, sube ....el pueblo sufre, sufre!" and "The rents go up, the people suffer!"
