UPDATE: 🎉 We are one step closer to recognizing a #RightToHousing. #ACA10 passed out of the California Assembly Appropriations Committee today. Thank you to Chair @BuffyWicks for taking action to address our housing & homelessness crisis. ✨
The #RightToHousing doesn't cost the legislature anything. It's simply adding a tool to address our affordable housing &homelessness crisis. Stand w/the millions of CA families left to fend for themselves in a broken housing system. Vote YES on #ACA10, @CASpeakerRivas.

Stimulus pay must be accessible to the most vulnerable essential workers. Farmworkers have kept the nation’s food supply going and have been one of the most disproportionately impacted groups by COVID-19. Tell @MercedCityHall where you stand 👇🏽

NOW: #Fresno residents and students showing up strong at City Council to urge investment of ARP funds to address the affordability crisis and protect renters from losing their homes. Fresno can have a #HomesGuarantee AND keep people safe with a reimagined public safety system.

Our govt doesn’t work for us without us. Merced youth, essential workers, community members direct city leaders to invest our tax dollars to caring for people not bailing out wealthy corporations. #AmericanRescuePlan @99_Rootz @PowerCANow
