Join NLIHC’s nonpartisan Our Homes, Our Votes campaign for the second installment of a two-part webinar series on ballot measures as a pathway towards housing justice. The webinar, “Housing Is Built with Ballots: Organizing to Win Affordable Homes at the Ballot Box,” will take place on Thursday, October 26, at 2:30 pm ET. Click here to register!
Behind the scenes of every winning ballot measure is an organized campaign to craft a policy proposal, build a coalition, mobilize supporters, and get out the vote. The webinar will discuss best practices in ballot measure advocacy and preview some of the campaigns that are already underway for the 2024 election cycle. In celebration of Vote Early Day, which takes place on October 26, NLIHC will also share nonpartisan resources for getting out the vote in this year’s state and local elections.
The webinar will feature:
- Angelina Cornejo, campaign strategy coordinator, East Bay Housing Organizations
- Emily Martiniuk, resident leader, Residents United Network-Los Angeles
- Madeleine Hammerlund, housing campaign organizer, Our Future Starts at Home (Minnesota)
- Zach Martinez, legal counsel and policy advisor, Gary Community Ventures
The webinar will complement the first installment of the mini-series, “Housing Is Built with Ballots: A Year of Ballot Measure Victories in Review.” The recording of the first webinar can be found here and the presentation slides can be found here.
