Hi John,
[The end of the quarter is in only 8 days, and I need to raise another $2,000 today to be on track. Please make a quick $11 donation now, because I don’t take any corporate PAC money so every dollar counts!]
I spent last winter with other organizers occupying empty buildings to get housing for homeless people.
With the federal eviction moratorium having expired, millions of people are at risk of eviction. An eviction tidal wave is coming, and Congress isn’t taking it seriously — even though it’s much easier to prevent homelessness than to get someone out of homelessness once they’re in it.
That’s why we need a bold, national housing program that guarantees housing by:
-
Building 12 million social housing units.
-
Enacting a vacancy tax on empty homes.
-
Ending land/real estate speculation and de-commodifying housing.
-
Enacting national rent control.
-
Furthering the Green New Deal through the construction/rehabbing of green homes.
I am the only candidate for Congress in WA’s 6th District who stands for these bold, homelessness-ending policies. Can you chip in now to help me win, so I can fight in Congress to end homelessness?
In the richest country on Earth, no one should be homeless, especially not veterans, seniors, and kids. The money is there to fix this problem. Homelessness is a policy choice. Please give now to help me win, so I can take this fight to Congress:
