We're heading into the final weekend of the elections and Department of Elections data show that most people still haven't turned in their ballots. This means there's still time to persuade undecided voters! If you have just 15 minutes or if you have an afternoon, your help can literally mean the difference between or lose for pro-housing candidates and measures. SF elections are notoriously close and there is a lot of confusion around Props D and E especially. This email includes YIMBY updates, and mobilization opportunities to champion pro-housing policies and candidates. Sign up and take action today!

Got 15 minutes? Give your friends election information
|
One of the most powerful things you can do to help all of our propositions and candidates is to share our endorsements with your friends and neighbors. The YIMBY brand has highly positive name recognition among likely voters, and that will be especially true with your network. If you have only 15 minutes, send a message to five local friends about the election and send them the link! It could be something like this:
Hi Friend,
There’s an election coming up November 8. I’d like to share the SF YIMBY endorsements with you. They explain why they endorsed the way they did, and they help point out how to vote to get more housing built in San Francisco.
In particular, I urge you to vote Yes on Proposition D and No on Proposition E. Proposition D will eliminate obstacles and help us build housing. Prop D is supported by Habitat for Humanity, Senator Scott Wiener, and the Nor Cal Carpenters Union. Meanwhile, Proposition E is expressly designed by the Board of Supervisors who voted down to confuse voters and thwart Proposition D.
I hope this helps as you fill out your ballot!
