Ash Lakota’s life turned upside down earlier this month following a fire at her apartment building. She told KSHB 41’s @GrantStephensTV that trying to pick up the pieces have been overwhelming.kshb.com/news/local-new…
We don’t have to “embrace it” the rent and cost of living is too damn high, and I refuse to be gaslit about our lived experience. A better world is possible. Only if we organize.

Without a plan on the rent, we don’t have a plan on inflation. The rent is too damn high, and there are still shots the Biden admin needs to call. The most important and urgent: rent regs in all units financed with federally-backed loans. They can do this, and they should.

KC TENANTS AND JACKSON COUNTY VOTERS SHUT DOWN THE STADIUM SALES TAX. The largest transfer of public funds to private enterprises in our region’s history, $2 billion over 40 years. The people took on the billionaires. The people won. Nothing is inevitable if we organize.
Absolutely shameless. Vote hell no
Polling places: If you live in KCMO, look up your location at kceb.org or call (816) 842-4820. If you live in Jackson County outside of Kansas City, look up your polling place at jcebmo.org or call (816) 325-4600. FAQ: bit.ly/StadiumTaxFAQ
STAYING HOME IS NOT THE SAME AS VOTING NO. MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE. Polls are open 6 AM to 7 PM tomorrow, Tuesday, April 2nd. ⏰ What time are you voting? 🚏 How will you get there? 👟 Who are you bringing with you? 📍Find your polling place (🧵)
KC VOTE NO TOMORROW 💥 Say what you will, but unlike the other side we don’t have $4M for mailers, TV ads and billboards to spread fear. @KCTenants spent months meeting tax payers where they’re at, doing public ed, listening and visioning together. The union has your back.

Thorough piece by @mdent05 for @washingtonpost on the stadium sales tax. Tells the story of our leader Denise Brown, lifelong Royals fan, voting NO tomorrow. "For opponents, the vote is about more than the stadiums. It’s about who Kansas City is for." washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/04…
DESPERATE TACTICS BY YES CAMPAIGN In a racist, last-ditch effort to get people to vote “yes” on a $2 billion handout to billionaires, a far-right campaign committee, presumably funded by the yes campaign, sent this mailer to thousands of Jackson County households today.
VOTE NO ON APRIL 2 Mayor @QuintonLucasKC in 2019: “We need a new downtown baseball stadium like I need a new Maserati." Source: kansascity.com/news/politics-…
@ everyone in my replies 😌
History lesson 🤓 In 2004, voters in said NO to a tax increase and the teams didn't leave. Instead, the teams came back 2 years later with a different proposal. This time around, John Sherman said himself that they don't plan to leave KC even if the tax fails 👇
Taxing districts like the Kansas City Public Library and Kansas City Public Schools worry that a tax-exempt Royals stadium will mean they will lose out on millions of dollars in crucial funding through property taxes. My latest: kcur.org/politics-elect…
BREAKING: White House to introduce rent-increase caps in Low Income Housing Tax Credit-financed housing. This is a win for tenants and a critical first step towards conditioning all federal financing and subsidy on rent regulations. Story by @rachsieg: washingtonpost.com/business/2024/…
If Kansas City's Question One about the Royals and Chiefs stadium sales tax passes, how does it compare to other sports stadium subsidies in the country? Is it the best deal? Here's what you need to know.
WE CALL BULL: Stadium Lease Agreements 🧵 On Weds, six days before the April 2 election, the teams announced they had signed lease agreements with the Jackson County Sports Complex Authority. Here’s what that means. Don’t be fooled– vote NO. kmbc.com/article/docume…
The Low Income Housing Tax Credit is the largest federal affordable housing production program. Now developers receiving LIHTC cannot raise rents over 10% annually. This protection will apply to tenants paying the max allowable rent under LIHTC in over a million units of housing.
Next week, Kansas City residents will vote on a sales tax to fund stadium projects for the Super Bowl champion Chiefs and the MLB’s Royals. It’s just one more instance of using public money to fund billionaires’ pet projects. Here’s why that’s a terrible idea. 🧵
VOTE NO APRIL 2

Right now, vouchers only cover rent under $1,098/month — which tends to confine families receiving this assistance to food deserts and neighborhoods with underfunded public schools. ZIP codes in yellow are areas that will open up to voucher users under the new SAMFR guidelines.
Big story from @MansarayMili! A change is coming to the KC housing authority: Soon, vouchers will cover higher rents in ZIP codes that were previously too expensive for voucher users, like Lenexa, Overland Park, the Crossroads District and Waldo. kcbeacon.org/stories/2024/0…

JUST IN: Inflation in March came in hotter than expected: 0.4% for the month and 3.5% in the past year. (The forecast was for 0.3% and 3.4%) Gas and rent accounted for over HALF the March increase. Higher gas price and high rent are keeping inflation above 3%.
