“Housing segregation by race and class is a fountainhead of inequality in America, yet for generations, politicians have been terrified to address the issue. That is why it is so significant that President Biden has proposed, as part of his American Jobs Act, a $5 billion race-to-the-top competitive grants program to spur jurisdictions to “eliminate exclusionary zoning and harmful land-use policies.”

-NY Times Opinion Editorial by Richard D. Kahlenberg

The calls to action from the Biden Administration to end modern-day segregation are unprecedented. This is an incredible accomplishment. And, this issue is unique in that it has brought both the right and left together. The YIMBY movement is changing the narrative and leading the change.

This movement, made up of activists, volunteers, and elected officials, has changed the narrative. But, like any movement, it is impossible to do without proper funding. We’ve been growing and creating change, and we need you to continue the work. 

John, will you donate so that we can continue fighting for social justice by putting an end to exclusionary zoning? 

$5, $10, or $100, what you can spare will keep us deconstructing these exclusionary policies.
