Please come out and help show Oakland’s City Council that affordable housing is important!
Dear Allies,
Thank you for your support over the 4 plus years in fighting for housing justice for Oakland Chinatown’s Pacific Renaissance families and low-income communities.
At this Tuesday’s Oakland City Council hearing, Councilmembers will vote on approving the settlement agreement reached that will result in preserving the 50 Pacific Renaissance units as affordable ownership AND develop 50 new low-income rental housing units in Chinatown AND pay back the City of Oakland its entire attorneys fees and costs. Here’s the link to the report with more information about the settlement agreement, http://clerkwebsvr1.oaklandnet.com/attachments/17227.pdf
We have recently learned that there may be opposition to this deal, in part, due to misinformation being spread in the community. We need your help again to FINALLY WIN housing justice for Chinatown and the Pacific Renaissance tenant families! Here’s how you can help:
- Contact City Councilmembers and let them know that you are supporting the Pacific Renaissance settlement—it’s a win/win for the community and the City of Oakland.
- Come to the Council hearing, 9/18, 6:30 pm, to support the settlement agreement.
- Attend the community Press Conference with Mayor Dellums and others on 9/19, 11-12 at Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room 2.
