      A very good article, and I want to add, since the Durham bond gets some time here: Housing didn't emerge "suddenly" on the agenda here. The Coalition for Affordable Housing and Transit formed in 2013, not out of ACORN, but largely from the work of local IAF affiliate, Durham CANhttps://twitter.com/LocalProgress/status/1197196732985155584 …

      A great read on how #LocalProgress members like @jeremiah4north @JillianDURM @HelenGymPHL are fighting for housing policy that ensures everyone can stay in a dignified home. https://jacobinmag.com/2019/11/housing-bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-2020-presidential-election …

      CAHT wasn't the start of the conversation either -- the "penny for housing" campaign, a far more modest proposal than the bond, had been the result of "housing first" measures to address homelessness. Many of the activists from that campaign helped found CAHT.

      It's true that suddenly housing has shot far up the policy agenda of many governments, so the headline isn't wrong, but as the article notes, a lot of this work started a long time ago and it's because of that work that we're now talking about housing.

      Thanks for the context! We are always committed to working in deep partnership with those who have long been organzing around housing and many other issues. The headline may have been tongue in cheek

      It really wasn't meant as criticism, the article is very good! You can only fit so much into an article like that. It's just about wanting to lift up some other folks who have been doing the hard work for a long time now.
