Dear RUN, You might have heard that there’s an election this week in California. If you haven’t already, please get out and vote tomorrow (Sept. 14)! If we know the results by Wednesday, we will talk about them on the Community Care call. Otherwise, we’ll break them down on Sept. 22. In the meantime, our regional convenings begin this week - see more details below. Also, our partners at Housing Now are hosting a convening for statewide housing groups focused on housing justice this week. If you are interested in representing RUN at the Housing Now regional convening this coming Thursday morning 9/16 at 9am, please reply to this email. The meeting will be “an introductory exploratory conversation to start building a list of which coalition partners are interested in moving which campaigns and policies forward.” Check below to register for your region’s event, or join another region virtually if it works better for you. We’re meeting all through September to get your ideas about what should be a state law for housing justice! As a reminder, masks will be required at any in-person regional convening. Register right now for the regional convening closest to you! 9/16: South Sacramento, outside in person in English with Spanish interpretation 9/17: Davis, outside in person in English with Spanish interpretation 9/20: Orange County, virtual in Spanish with English interpretation 9/21: San Diego, virtual in English with Spanish interpretation 9/21: North Highlands / Sacramento, outside in person in English with Spanish interpretation 9/23: Stockton, outside in person in English and Spanish 9/23: North Sacramento, outside in person in English with Spanish interpretation 9/23: LA/Ventura, virtual in English with Spanish interpretation 9/29: Inland Empire, virtual in English and Spanish 9/30: Bay Area, virtual in English Take good care, Tori |
