"A safe, decent, and affordable home is key to individual health and well-being. Homelessness occurs because housing options are out of reach for the unhoused, and the severe and growing shortage of affordable housing is only exacerbating this situation." lisc.org/our-stories/story/l…

George Floyd should be alive. He deserved so much more.
Today, I join all those who loved him and all those touched by the civil rights movement he inspired in remembering the tragedy and injustice of his death.
He changed the world.
Now, let's act in his memory.

Ludi is replanting grape vines in Petaluma CA. She work 9 hours a day and shares, "It's hard work. It's hot outside. We dig with a shovel to make the hole to plant the vine. The earth is very hard and my hands hurt a lot due to the effort." #WeFeedYou

Many blocks in section 507 and a park were bulldozed for the intersection for 805 and I15. These lots were mostly empty, but that's because redlining destroyed any financing opportunities for these blocks. Which is why it looked like a "good" idea to convert them to a highway.
