On a LOCAL LEVEL, please DO THIS, RIGHT NOW:

 

  • Call your assembly member! Leave a message citing the fatal flaws of SB 1120. FIND your Assembly Member here. If you know your next-over Assembly member, call them too! Use their Sacramento office numbers! (Talking points below.)

 

CLICK HERE to send a quick letter to the LATINO ASSEMBLY CAUCUS, opposing SB 1120 and its troubling, OUTSIZED, impact on Latino families and neighborhoods.

 

If we lose: California's becomes the first state in U.S. history to deliver 7.4M single-family homes, housing 21M people, over to luxury density developers — crushing neighborhoods during a pandemic economic crisis. 

 

If we win: The obsessed Bay Area state Sen. Scott Wiener will be back, sucking the air out of the room and trying hard to prevent, for the 4th year, an honest discussion of the legislature's defunding of affordable housing. For shame, Sen. Wiener.

 

Behind it all: Wiener, swimming in more developer money than any legislator on the West Coast, and Atkins, married to a developer.

 

Now, get on your cell to call your Assembly member! Today, share our FB updates! And donate to Livable California TODAY! We thank you.

 

Talking Points for Your Calls Today, Sunday, Against SB 1120:

  • Legislators must not seem to be rushing dramatic societal change under cover of COVID-19.
  • Threatens historic Black and Latino homeowner communities with devastation by developers.
  • McKinsey claim that California needs 3.5M housing units by 2025 was debunked, and Gov. Newsom has walked away from the false figure. The need is 1.2M reached without upheaval. 
  • Our need is low-income units. Market rate units far exceed the demand in California. Enough!
  • Legislators must not cheer a luxury developer bill during this crisis for low-income families.
  • Working-class homeowners earned their path to middle-class. SB 1120 upends this victory.
