Calling all YIMBYs, pro-housing advocates, tenants’ rights advocates, and people opposed to rising rents!

To start the day we'll be meeting at California YIMBY HQ for a quick briefing then walking over to the Capitol where we'll be meeting with members and their staffs all day to talk to them about the bills and issues that are important to us!

We need to fight for pro-housing legislation! At the second annual YIMBY lobby day, we will be speaking to legislators and their staff about:

• AB 686, which would protect the federal rules to affirmatively further fair housing
  

• AB 2162, which streamlines the approval process for supportive housing projects across the state

• And others!

Lobbying is fun, and don’t worry if you haven’t done it before. What’s important is to get your voice into the capitol so that legislators are hearing from their constituents about the importance of fighting rising rents and escalating home prices.

Please contact Louis at louis@cayimby.org if coming would be difficult financially; assistance may be available in arranging transportation from Southern California and the Bay Area. It’s crucial that our legislators hear from everyone, not just those who can afford to travel to Sacramento during a work day.

Recommendations:

• Downtown Sacramento is full of nice cafes and is a burgeoning restaurant scene.

• The Sacramento Hostel is a nice, affordable place to stay if you decide to spend the night here.

• The address for California YIMBY HQ is 717 K Street, Suite 221, so try to locate yourself within walking distance of there or the State Capitol. We hope to show you around!

• You can take Amtrak directly from the Bay Area to Sacramento -- there are a number of trains daily!
