Members of ACORN gathered out front of 119 King St. W. downtown to encourage passersby to sign a petition calling for rent control in the face of spiralling rents in the city.
The group, a strong advocate for housing reform, called for rent control, a full rent freeze until 2024, an end to tenant displacement, and more funding for social housing.
