#YIMBYWin Our Abundant Housing Illinois chapter recently endorsed Daniel Biss for Mayor of Evanston, IL. Our members got out and did some door-knocking and phone banking to support his campaign. 💪 Looks like their efforts paid off because Daniel Biss won the election on Tuesday night 🥳 It is critical that we have pro-housing elected officials in our communities who are ready to take action to build more homes for community members. YIMBYs are ready to fight for pro-housing candidates who will help us build a future of abundant housing for everyone! We're just getting started 🔥

Virginians are suffering under the status quo with their current housing policy. When our leaders have an opportunity to take action to help build more homes for their constituents, they HAVE to take it. We can build a future where everyone has access to a home they can afford in a vibrant, inclusive, diverse community. But we have to do the work if we want to get there.

Big shoutout to one of our Asheville For All chapter volunteer leaders, Andy Paul, for co-authoring an amazing opinion piece about the need for more homes in Asheville, especially in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Our leaders must enact pro-housing policies that make our neighborhoods more affordable, sustainable, and equitable. YIMBYs like our Asheville For All members are fighting for a future of abundant housing in their backyard 👏 https://lnkd.in/gKqVS23E
