Largest study of homelessness in California in 3 decades finds a "fundamental problem" that drives it: "the rent is too damn high."

If @GavinNewsom defunds transit and we lose weekend and evening service then it would be devastating for restaurant workers Call the governor this weekend at (916) 445-2841 and tell him we need BART! sfexaminer.com/news/transit/…

No one can truly live a healthy, dignified life if they don’t have a roof over their head. Huge support for #ACA10 (Asm. @MattHaneySF) #HousingisaHumanRight during our press conference w/ our partners. It’s time that our policies match our values. Let’s pass the #ACA10!

I worked w/ the team behind this miracle for a few months & let me tell you: this was a labor of true dedication to the people of the Pajaro Valley. I’ve never seen more miracle-making or mountain-moving than what I’ve witnessed in this project. santacruzsentinel.com/2022/0…

I’m not going to lie to you, friends. Today nearly broke me. The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade will endanger thousands, if not millions, of people who can get pregnant with forced birth.

Yes, I’ll continue to vote for pro-abortion politicians. But, only community will take care of us the way we need. We must support grassroots abortion healthcare providers. We must be there for each other when the government is not.

This is so important. The cause of homeless is LACK OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING. While drug use or mental illness can be complicating factors, studies across cities have shown that the only predictive factor of homelessness is a mismatch between high rents and low wages.
