For the past year, the Our Neighborhood Voices team has been hard at work organizing Californians from every community in our state who believe that questions about the future of our neighborhoods should be up to us – not for-profit developers.

Nevertheless, developers and their friends and Legislators in Sacramento have continued to target communities all over the state with laws that allow developers to literally bulldoze the house next door to you and build a multi-story, multi-unit building in its place – and leaving you with the bill for services new residents need.

But we are fighting back. On Wednesday, June 28,  Susan Candell,  Councilmember and Former Mayor of Lafayette will present the reasons why we should join our efforts , and why we need to bring control of the future of our neighborhoods back to our communities.

The growing anger about so called “affordable housing” laws that build no affordable housing while taking away the right of neighbors to be heard about what happens literally right next door to their homes is igniting the largest “voter revolt” California has seen since Prop. 13 in 1978.

In the past several years, Sacramento politicians have passed a series of laws that allow development of six units or more on a single-family lot — and the politicians have stripped away the ability of neighbors to speak out about what is being built literally next door to their homes.

ALL ACROSS CALIFORNIA NEIGHBORHOOD LEADERS, LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS AND COMMUNITY ACTIVISTS ARE ORGANIZING AND FIGHTING BACK.

The Our Neighborhood Voices Initiative is gearing up to gather the signatures necessary to require a vote to restore local democracy on the November 2024 ballot.
