Our letter to the President

Dear President Obama,

Please take action to end America’s affordable housing and homelessness crisis. We need:
  • More section 8 vouchers immediately
  • Build public housing to meet the need
  • Full funding of the National Housing Trust Fund
  • Stop foreclosures

This financial crisis is an opportunity to rearrange our priorities. Instead of just going back to business as usual, I hope we will reprioritize and put people first, not profits. People are our greatest natural resource. Nothing else really matters if all of us cannot live in dignity with housing, food and medical care. A simple life lived close to the earth and the seasons is so much more meaningful than living in a mansion apart from the natural world. Let's work together to help people to see the truth in that and end this madness of destroying ourselves and our earth.
