-
Renters are forced to move farther from work
-
Young families can’t buy their first home
-
Lifelong residents are being priced out of their own neighborhoods.
This is not sustainable—and it’s not fair. That’s why we’re organizing a citizen-led ballot initiative to bring back rent control and make housing affordable again.
But here’s the challenge: to even get this initiative on the ballot, we must gather tens of thousands of valid signatures. That means we need you.

With your help, we can build a Massachusetts where no one is priced out of having a home.
A Message from our new President, Margot Page
With all the knowledge we acquired in 2024 from our own campaign team research, research from Williams College students, supporting the mobile home park tenants in opposing excessive rent hikes we commit to moving forward with action in 2025. We want 2025 to be year of action for BIO. – For organizations that do community organizing, a lot of hands are needed. Whatever we work on in 2025, we want to have wins. That is why we commit that 2025 will be a year of action for BIO.
Success will require something from each of us. Support is needed in many ways:
- on campaign teams, leadership roles, attending meetings, writing a letter to their congressperson or mayor, some will keep their congregations engaged in BIO work, some will support our fundraisers, etc. Whatever your role, you have a place at BIO and we need your involvement.
