Iâ€™m thrilled to have you join us as we build a movement focused on affordable housing, equitable communities, and the political power needed to turn our vision into a reality. As organizers, our role is to empower people like you to be leaders in your own communities. Together, weâ€™ll work on having impactful conversations with your neighbors, growing our movement from the grassroots, and bringing more people into this process to win elections and effect real change. Our focus on housing is clear: we aim to overcome the obstacles to creating large-scale communities similar to Habitat for Humanityâ€”communities that give people a stake in where they live and a path to sustainable, affordable homeownership. These challenges wonâ€™t be easy to overcome, but with the strength of a united community, weâ€™re unstoppable. Every Friday, weâ€™ll host an online happy hour event to come together informally, share updates on our accomplishments for the week, discuss our plans for the week ahead, and celebrate our community's spirit and dedication.

It's time to turn frustration into action, and weâ€™re doing it the Gonzo wayâ€”fueled by grit, purpose, and just the right amount of controlled chaos. This is more than a meeting; itâ€™s a movement.

Itâ€™s time to roll up your sleeves, lace up your boots, and join us in doing something real. Weâ€™re taking a page out of Jimmy Carterâ€™s bookâ€”building homes for those the system has left behindâ€”but weâ€™re doing it with a dose of Gonzo grit. Think hammers, nails, and a righteous sense of rebellion. While we build, weâ€™re also plotting resistanceâ€”organizing to fight the powers that be with the ferocity of a cornered badger.

Iâ€™m thrilled to have you join us as we build a movement focused on affordable housing, equitable communities, and the political power needed to turn our vision into a reality. As organizers, our role is to empower people like you to be leaders in your own communities. Together, weâ€™ll work on having impactful conversations with your neighbors, growing our movement from the grassroots, and bringing more people into this process to win elections and effect real change. Our focus on housing is clear: we aim to overcome the obstacles to creating large-scale communities similar to Habitat for Humanityâ€”communities that give people a stake in where they live and a path to sustainable, affordable homeownership. These challenges wonâ€™t be easy to overcome, but with the strength of a united community, weâ€™re unstoppable. Every Friday, weâ€™ll host an online happy hour event to come together informally, share updates on our accomplishments for the week, discuss our plans for the week ahead, and celebrate our community's spirit and dedication.
