④ 2977—097The effort began after the LA wildfires that started on January 7, as a way to document rent gouging by landlords exploiting displaced people during disaster. TRB maintains the Tracking Rental Price Gouging in LA spreadsheet, a crowd-sourced tool that exposes landlords who disregard the law and put profits over people. By collecting and sharing this data, TRB hold landlords accountable because too often, they face no consequences for their actions.

Merge designed the logo and full branding system, creating a cohesive visual identity for the organization. We produced all graphic materials including flyers, social media assets, event banners, and internal documents.







Poster Design

We designed posters for various Brigade events, focusing on community outreach and volunteering efforts.






Report Design

We built reusable templates for The Rent Brigade’s reports. TRB is committed to community-based research that advances solutions to the housing crisis, grounded in the lived experiences of those most impacted.
