RUN’ing Onward

RUN is now as busy as it was before the pandemic. With 3 working groups working hard every week on RUN’s priority issues, there are many opportunities for RUN leaders to engage. San Diego RUN Leader Miss Joyce, a longstanding member and serving on the Board of Housing California, along with Rickie Brown who is also an experienced RUN Leader and Manager with City Heights CDC, worked with team to organize a special gathering to with tenants, housing developers, and legislative staff of Senator Toni Atkins. In this meeting, they will discuss issues such as eviction moratorium and difficulty to pay rent during the pandemic, and its effects on both sides of residents and developers.

Another group working on homelessness, has been advocating on state budget on homelessness. And finally, a working group is organizing RUN’s campaign around “Stable Homes California”, or AB 1703. In advocating for AB 1703, RUN has been recording videos through Soapboxx, collecting stories for Op-Eds, and soon will be organizing virtual “in-district” visits.
