Dear friends,
This has been a successful month for California YIMBY's 2024 legislative agenda! Our priority bills have made it through their house of origin and are on their way to clearing their policy committees in the second chamber. This is possible because we have housing champions in the Assembly and the Senate who are leading the way forward.
Today, I'm reaching out to ask if you would consider becoming a Framer, our giving circle for monthly donors to our PAC. By making a recurring donation to California YIMBY's Victory Fund, you will provide the support our housing champions need to win -- and expand what’s possible!

Our efforts will determine how many pro-housing bills can still pass this year. Come September, we want a stack of pro-housing legislation headed to the Governor's desk for his signature.
California YIMBY's strength in Sacramento is built on the passion and commitment of our grassroots supporters across the state – and that includes our supporters who donate to help us elect strong, pro-housing leaders to the State Legislature. Each dollar you give adds to our ability to support these leaders, and builds momentum for our sponsored bills.
Lawmakers come to us for our expertise – and because we have their backs when it counts. We provide legislators with comprehensive information regarding effective strategies to tackle the housing shortage and affordability crisis. We also help our housing champions win at the ballot box – and the November election is coming up fast.
If you're able, please consider making a contribution of any amount to help us keep up the pressure and support our housing champions!
Gratefully,
Joe
