Research Action Meetings It’s January, and that means it’s campaign time. The legislature is in full swing, bills are being introduced, and RUN members have already had five meetings with legislators about our 2020 priorities! In Fresno, Oakland, LA, Riverside, and San Diego, RUN members gathered information about housing and homelessness bills in 2020 and what elected officials care about. These “research action meetings” will inform our campaign strategy going forward so we can share information across the state - and they’re a great chance to build leadership skills in real time. | |

Housing California Lobby Day Wait, isn’t the Housing California conference in San Diego in April this year? YES! We’ll have more info about that for you in February. So what does that mean for our annual Lobby Day? It’s on Thursday, March 19 in Sacramento, and you can join us. Super Leaders and attendees from southern California will arrive a day early, on March 18. (Think you might be a Super Leader? Reply to this email!) Registration is now open, and we need as many RUN members as we can get - because we want to make our presence known, so that our legislators do the right thing and vote for homes for all Californians. | | | | | | |
