We are proud to have officially launched the Small Business United campaign! The Small Business Rent Stabilization Act (SBRSA)—A5568(Gallagher)/S8319(Salazar) was introduced last month. Over the intervening months, we plan to reach out to affected small businesses and invite them into the campaign’s organizing and advocacy. For those interested in participating, sign up at this link. Read on below for some recent press coverage of the campaign and associated legislation.
