Friend we’re up!

Hi Friend,

The election is (mostly) over. But the work remains.

You may have seen my story a few weeks ago. I live in Walnut Park, and like too many of us, know families in my neighborhood who are squeezed into small single-family homes or into apartments. Overcrowding is a threat to public health. Angelenos deserve better.

And it doesn’t stop there. Rising homelessness, exorbitant rent, and deepening inequality are part and parcel of this crisis. It needs to stop. 

Thankfully we’ve seen pro-housing legislators act. Today we’re sending a message to them: thank you, and you need to keep it up. 

Join me in sending a letter to our electeds – new and old – that the housing crisis needs to be a top priority if we’re going to truly make LA sustainable, affordable, and equitable. 

Thank you for taking a stand with us.

-Esteban, AHLA Communications Manager
