yikes, all sounds too familiar @ABetterCAF @ABetterCambMA / "in a city that sometimes seems like it has more Black Lives Matter signs than actual Black people, you’d think the case for change would resonate."
join us on Zoom - 9/19 from 4-6pm - to hear from your city council candidates. really looking forward to this gallery view :) and aiming for an outdoor in-person hang after.

"our priority is to build housing – especially affordable, transit-oriented, sustainable housing – that provide more people with an opportunity to live here. 2072 is an example of how flaws in current zoning policies limit progressive, inclusive development" @ABetterCambMA

👏some good news. but heads up, still no emergency rental assistance or rent forgiveness (so tenants can be evicted on 1/1/2021 if they can't pay all accrued rent).

finally watched, real glad all these stories on eviction + homelessness fear / competition for vouchers / rent forgiveness and moratoriums / insane legal eviction process [...] have this platform.
