Everyone deserves a safe, affordable place to live. That’s why I stand in solidarity with #SouthernTowers tenants & Charniele Herring, Ibraheem Samirah, & Mark Levine to protect Alexandria’s affordable housing stock & thousands of tenants from eviction proceedings! #ACT4SouthernTowers

“Affordable housing can’t wait,” and we agree! We are happy to be in attendance at VOICE of Northern VA rally today at 7pm! Solomon Ayalew, ACT's DMV Director, will be speaking about our fight for #affordablehousing in Alexandria, as part of our #ACT4SouthernTowers campaign.

Between 9/27 and 10/17, #CIMGroup comprised 20% of all eviction hearings in Alexandria, VA, the overwhelming majority of which were against Southern Towers tenants.
