📣 Lakewood needs our help 📣 RSVP or Donate ⚡ Links and details below

👍 Lakewood passed Colorado’s boldest pro-housing policy.
👎 Now opponents want to overturn it in a low-turnout April election.
‼️ If we lose here, every Colorado city trying reform becomes a target.

Sound familiar to our land use code fight in Fort Collins? The difference in Lakewood is that they are putting it all on the line with a special election ballot. 🗳️ Success on April 7th in Lakewood could translate to success across the Front Range and strengthen the case for missing-middle housing reforms in our own back yard. 🏠

Support Make Lakewood Livable’s pro-housing campaign today! ⚡ RSVP to their fundraiser tomorrow or Donate to their campaign ⚡ Links here:

Working Coloradans are forced into long commutes because they can’t afford living in the communities they work in. The HOME Act (HB1001) would create more housing so that:
🩺 Nurses
🍎 Teachers
🚒 Firefighters
can afford to live in the communities they support. Tell lawmakers to vote YES on

Colorado has the second-worst housing shortage in the country. We need to build +34K homes each year to stop it from getting worse. The HOME Act can help us close the gap. Tell lawmakers to support to create more housing.

CO renters spend more than 30% of their income on housing ‼️The HOME Act builds on our work to build affordable housing in the communities where Coloradans work and build their lives. Tell state lawmakers to vote YES on
