Dear Friends,

2025 was our biggest year yet – and thanks to committed YIMBYs like you, we passed landmark, pro-housing legislation that:

Exempted infill housing from CEQA
Legalized more homes near transit
Made it easier to build ADUs and other missing middle homes

Your passion, commitment, and strong support of our pro-housing movement made those victories possible – and that includes your support for elected officials who took hard votes, and led on housing when it counted.

That's why we're asking you to step up by becoming a monthly donor to the California YIMBY Victory Fund. Nobody wants the "victory alerts" to stop – and every victory we achieve in Sacramento starts with a victory at the ballot box for a pro-housing legislator. We need your help in 2026 to make sure we keep sending housing champions to the State Capitol, and keep up the pro-housing mo’.

In 2026 Californians will go to the polls to elect a new governor – in what is shaping up to be a wide-open election.

We need to make sure that California's next governor is a YIMBY champion. And there are other statewide offices, such as Insurance Commissioner, that are also critical to housing policy.

We also must send new leaders to California's legislature so we can build on our success, and stop NIMBYs who are trying to undermine our victories.

That's where the California YIMBY Victory Fund comes in. It's our political action committee (often called a "PAC") dedicated to supporting and electing leaders who are committed to solving California’s housing crisis through bold, evidence-based policy.

We need your help to re-elect our current pro-housing champions, while also electing the next cohort of legislators who will continue to advance the YIMBY agenda. By donating to the California YIMBY Victory Fund, you can support the leaders we need to end the housing shortage.

Will you become a regular monthly donor to the California YIMBY Victory Fund and help elect housing champions in 2026?

Contributing to the California YIMBY Victory Fund is the most effective way to help the YIMBY movement build political power. Your contributions not only help elect leaders who will pass critical legislation, they demonstrate our movement is powered by tens of thousands of regular Californians who believe that, with smart, targeted reforms, we can end the housing shortage and affordability crisis.

If we're going to send housing champions to Sacramento to end California’s housing shortage, we need your support. Become a regular monthly donor to the California YIMBY Victory Fund and help elect housing champions in 2026!

Thank you so much for everything you’ve done. It's an honor to have your passionate support and engagement as we fight to make California affordable for everyone.

Gratefully,

Derek
