Last night over 1,000 people turned out at our Nehemiah Action to press for a common goal: making sure a proposed sales tax for affordable housing and homelessness is used on SPECIFIC, WELL-RESEARCHED solutions from the city's own studies. We thank Councilmembers Bradberry & Banks for their attendance and for their commitments. As they reminded us, they are two of nine total councilmembers. So, while they will use their voices to advocate for these specific solutions, they cannot guarantee that all other councilmembers will agree.

This is a reminder that their commitments are the start of a process- not the end. We will need to continue to show with people power over the next few months to win commitments from the rest of our council as well. JUMP for JUSTICE! And stay tuned for details!

Some logistics for tomorrow's Nehemiah Action (April 30, 6:30-8pm, Washburn's Lee Arena):

First, be warned about road closures just south of 21st & Washburn! You may need to go around the block to get the correct entrance if you're coming from the south.

Second, please remember to arrive at least 15 minutes early to get parked and find your seats.

And finally, here's the best places to park to access Lee Arena.

Get ready to DO JUSTICE! We can't wait to see you there.

If you haven't heard the details on what's at stake at this year's Nehemiah Action, here they are:

The City of Topeka is considering a 1/10 of one penny sales tax for "affordable housing and homelessness-" - which would generate approximately $3.6-3.8 million each year. This proposal is popular- last year, in a city survey, 67% of Topekans said they'd likely vote in favor. We're excited this option is on the table- but we need more specifics. We're pressing for our councilmembers to put this on a ballot for a public vote- BUT- with half the funding going to the Affordable Housing Trust Fund (funding the AHTF was the #1 recommendation from the city's own 2020 Housing Market Study) and the other half going to the top recommendations from the City's 2024 Homelessness Innovation Team Study.

To summarize: If we're going to consider this massive investment, we need to know it'll be going towards the top proven solutions from the city's own studies. For this reason, we are organizing as many people as possible to join us at Washburn's Lee Arena on this Thursday, April 30, 6:30-8pm. Join us, and bring all your friends!
