Dear friends,

Between now and the legislature's adjournment on August 31, we need your help to do everything in our power to pass our 5 priority bills!

Last week, nearly all of California YIMBY's priority bills made it out of the Assembly and Senate appropriations committees. That's a big step. But as you know well, it's no guarantee of final passage. We've seen great bills die on the floor in the final days of the session.

That's why we're mobilizing our grassroots base to ensure these bills make it to the Governor's desk -- and we need your help to power that work before the crucial August 31 deadline.

If you, can you chip in $20 or more today to help us turn these bills into law?

If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately.

Our portfolio of bills is designed to make California a more affordable, inclusive, and sustainable state for everyone:

AB 2011 fast-tracks new affordable housing on land zoned for commercial uses and includes strong provisions for affordability, labor standards, and environmental protection.

*SB 886 helps universities build student housing faster and at lower cost by streamlining the environmental review process for housing on university-owned land that is not at high risk of wildfire or in a sensitive habitat.

*AB 2097 reduces housing costs and air pollution by eliminating expensive parking mandates on new homes built near high-quality transit.

*AB 2221 accelerates building Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs, aka granny flats or casitas) by clarifying ambiguities in existing law and removing arbitrary barriers that some cities have imposed on ADU development.

*AB 2873 advances diversity, equity, and inclusion by requiring developers that receive state affordable housing dollars to report if the firms they contract with are owned and operated by people of color, women, or LGBTQ+ people.

*Legislation sponsored by California YIMBY
