#ARPat2Years Thanks to @LatinoCommFdn & @BrookingsInst for raising the urgency of the economic & health impacts/disparities of COVID. @MonumentImpact was supported by LCF to begin a #GuaranteedIncome pilot in Concord,CA.

@MariselaTOrta hi Marisela, we are looking for a playwright to work with us on a storytelling/spoken word project about young people’s experience of housing. I work with an organization called Monument Impact in the East Bay. We serve immigrants and refugees. Can we talk?

[Erin Baldassari @e_baldi]

TONIGHT! 👇👇👇

I'll be speaking w/ @myrnamelgar @D4GordonMar @shajuti_esq @MonumentImpact & @sacredheartcs about how to rethink the 'burbs to be more inclusive, reduce displacement + focus growth equitably. @SF_CCHO We'll basically solve the housing crisis in an hour. Tune in!

Complicated COVID rental aid programs start to reach Bay Area https://t.co/kw6RDfGd2D via @EastBayTimes #monumentimpact

Today’s @latimes highlights the loopholes in @GavinNewsom, @SenToniAtkins, and @RendonAnthony rent relief plan that will leave many renters behind. We need real solutions with #NoRenterLeftBehind, not half baked ones. Read more here: https://t.co/1gg3Odywjq

[Debra Ballinger McManus @DebraMcManus]

Time is running out. Tenants need real relief that doesn’t require landlords to opt in.

A PATCHWORK OF PROTECTIONS: #SB91 is the latest in a series of laws, executive orders & local ordinances in California that have created a confusing patchwork of protections for tenants statewide. #ForgiveRentDebts https://t.co/nO5y8L2zcI

[Housing NOW! @HousingNowCA]

#ICYMI the @CAgovernor is rushing a flawed proposal that puts the fate of renters in the hands of landlords. While extending eviction protections, #SB91 kicks the can down the road and leaves many renters in the cold. What are the challenges ahead? #thread 🧵 #ForgiveRentDebts

@krithika This is despicable, dangerous and I hope the police in these photos, which look like they are complicit, are fired.

[Debra Ballinger McManus @DebraMcManus]

@DrPhillipsMD Thank you, Dr. Phillips! Your honesty was so needed at a time when self-centered, self-serving actions endangered others.

[Debra Ballinger McManus @DebraMcManus]

@mattyoude California has slipped as well. Bay Area slightly better, but barely.

@ItsLeeKemp @IvankaTrump @realDonaldTrump Lol

[Debra Ballinger McManus @DebraMcManus]

@thepeacehour Yes! Divert police funding to housing, mental health and services that support our most vulnerable community members.

[Debra Ballinger McManus @DebraMcManus]

@CAGovernor Millions of Californians-children,seniors - will be evicted in the months to come unless you act, Governor Newsom, to prohibit all non-health related evictions through the pandemic. This is on you now. Do your job and keep families housed! https://t.co/tmY1mrckdc

[Debra Ballinger McManus @DebraMcManus]

Continuing our work advocating for more affordable housing!

[SF Examiner @sfexaminer]

Opinion: Let’s work together to ensure that residents have stable, affordable homes. We can do it if we make true affordability the goal of planning and development processes in every city. https://t.co/9ZdUZjx5Nn

@SenKamalaHarris Horrible! He must be held accountable
