"If we want people to adapt to cleaner modes of transportation, we need to build the infrastructure to support them in doing so." - @mitrajunjalali S/O to Saint Paul for ensuring that new developments in the city are ready for electric vehicles! kstp.com/kstp-news/loca…
From affordable childcare and shelter for people experiencing homelessness to preparations for major weather events, the City of Austin has used its ARPA funds in crucial ways. Reminder that all ARPA funds must be allocated by the end of this year! kxan.com/news/local/aus…

State governments should seek to use power to set a floor for equity across the state. We join LP Members in Minnesota in expressing our extreme disappointment in this missed opportunity to revoke decades of harmful housing policy across the state. minnesotareformer.com/2024/04/04/dfl…
A few weeks ago, almost a dozen LP members wrote to @GovKathyHochul asking her not to cut millions from clean water projects. On behalf of our almost 200-strong member chapter, the New York Organizing Committee celebrates the full funding for the #CWIA in this year's budget.
Direct cash payments have been proven time and time again to help lift people out of poverty. Despite the clear benefits, Republican leaders in Texas are more concerned with asserting their authority over local governments than helping people. texastribune.org/2024/04/09/tex…
This case will have a huge impact on whether we continue punishing people for being homeless or whether we will work to end homelessness. We cannot fine and jail our way out of this very solvable crisis. Really hoping for some good to come out of this current SCOTUS.🤞🏽

Banning, fining, and arresting human beings for sleeping in public places does nothing but repeat failed tactics of the past. The solution to our homeless issue is to give people a place to call home. A special shout-out to 7th Ward neighbor Alejandro, who attended the rally.
ICYMI Oakland announced it was awarded $7.2 million in homeless encampment resolution funding from the State of California. This grant will help us address the encampments at Mosswood Mark, MLK & Grand, and E. 12 Street with a housing-first approach. ktvu.com/news/city-of-o…
Real estate special interests and landlords have been threatening to undo Concord’s renter protections since it passed, but their campaign failed! This is a massive victory for LP member, Laura Nakamura, and tenants across California.

Legislators in Nashville claim a statewide ban on Red Flag laws will create "uniformity" and ensure there isn't "chaos" for gun owners. The only uniformity this dangerous preemption will create is fear across the state for those put in harm's way. wjhl.com/news/regional/…
By removing the power of police oversight panels, Flordia is making it almost impossible for communities to hold corrupt police accountable. Abusive preemption doesn't just take power away from local officials; it removes power from local communities. miamiherald.com/news/politics-…
In order to connect people to their government, we have to demystify the work being done at City Hall to make it more accessible. Over the next couple months, we will be equipping residents with the tools they need to participate in the budgetary process.
Public ownership builds community power. That's why climate advocates in Boston are launching a community solar cooperative that could be a scalable model for both reducing carbon emissions and building wealth in disadvantaged communities nationwide. energynews.us/2024/03/19/a-b…

Algorithmic price fixing is a huge, under-the-radar driver of high housing costs. Our brief w/@LocalProgress explains how states and cities can fight back.👇 economicliberties.us/our-work/a-new…
NEW: Rents are up 20% since 2020. And a housing cartel's algorithm could be to blame. RealPage, a software company, allegedly works with landlords to drive up rents across the country. This is an illegal price-fixing conspiracy. And it's forcing Americans into homelessness.
Sonnier said providing a full spectrum of housing to the unhoused is the only way to solve the problem of homelessness. “It is cheaper to house people than incarcerate them,” she said. riverfronttimes.com/news/st-louis-…
This case will have a huge impact on whether we continue punishing people for being homeless or whether we will work to end homelessness. We cannot fine and jail our way out of this very solvable crisis. Really hoping for some good to come out of this current SCOTUS.🤞🏽
#JohnsonvGrantsPass could radically change the way we approach homelessness, leading to jail time or fines for sleeping outside We're at SCOTUS with @homeless_law and HUNDREDS of people because we know #housingfirst is the most humane and effective way to address homelessness
National attention is being given 2 STL. The work is far from done but the mission continues & I am grateful 2 ensure such. Truly an honor to share a national stage on SCOTUS steps with @LocalProgress & so many other people-centered leaders and orgs. #HousingNotHandcuffs
Thank you for reminding me that the values of our Ward are everywhere, even outside of St. Louis. In this ward, we believe that housing is human right, homelessness is not a crime, and that we deserve to live in a city with housing options for #ALLnotSome!
Banning, fining, and arresting human beings for sleeping in public places does nothing but repeat failed tactics of the past. The solution to our homeless issue is to give people a place to call home. A special shout-out to 7th Ward neighbor Alejandro, who attended the rally.
@LocalProgress @homeless_law Thank you @LocalProgress and your hundreds of local officials who support the position that #HousingNotHandcuffs solves homelessness!
A huge thank you to @AndreaSCousins @NYSenDems for successfully fighting to restore clean water funding this year! Their efforts will create thousands of good-paying jobs + ensure that millions of New Yorkers have cleaner water when they turn on the tap. @greenwatchdogNY
"Our environmental initiatives reflect our dedication to combating climate change and protecting our natural resources. That’s why we restored the $250 million cut to Clean Water Funding."
“This case is about housing justice, racial justice, LGBTQ+ equality, disrupting a poverty to prison cycle, and whether we want to be a nation where everyone, regardless of background, productivity under capitalism, or lack of resources can survive.” @ItsDanaWhite @miriamskitchen
“If overturned, #JohnsonvGrantsPass will perpetuate health disparities and cause more unhoused people to suffer and die prematurely. It will make it harder for them to get the care and services they need.” - @BobbyWatts6 @NatlHCHCouncil #HousingNotHandcuffs
“I have hope because the solutions to homelessness are possible when we welcome our neighbors inside. When we look around our community for spaces not being used and say ‘That could be someone’s home.’” - @AmandaAndere @funderstogether #HousingNotHandcuffs#JohnsonVGrantsPass
Volkswagen workers just made history! #StandUpUAW
There it is. Clean Water Infrastructure Act funding fully restored to $500M in the final budget. A big environmental victory!
It’s official: CONCORD HAS RENT CONTROL AND JUST CAUSE PROTECTIONS! We spent the last month defending the ordinance against wealthy landlords and real estate groups who were trying to attack our right to housing and a safe city, and their efforts failed. We did it!
STATEMENT: @GovKathyHochul's sham of a housing deal will do absolutely nothing to make housing more affordable and keep New Yorkers in their homes. It is nothing more than a massive giveaway to the real estate industry.
Cities such as Milwaukee & Miami reduced homelessness by over 90% by investing in housing & support services. #JohnsonVGrantsPass could help pave the way for more cities across the U.S. to do the same. Read more from our Decrim Director, @WillKnightAZ: loom.ly/Q0sk1UI
We need STATEWIDE #GoodCause protections to keep my community whole. @GovKathyHochul @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins don't leave renters in my district out in the cold.
It didn't have to be this way.
More than 1,000 NYC kids leave school after hitting shelter stay limit, data shows buff.ly/3UicvJB
🚨NOW: NYers are in front of the Assembly chambers to call on legislators to vote NO the gutted version of the #GoodCause bill @GovKathyHochul proposed! #GoodCause is common-sense legislation that protects 1000s of NYers from predatory landlords. Is that too much to ask for??
