39] – The Metro DC DSA [info@mdcdsa.org] is holding its biweekly Social Housing Organizing Meeting on Thurs., Nov. 30 at 5 PM ET. A link to attend this virtual event will be emailed upon RSVP.  Learn about its latest activities, what they're planning for the future, and how to get involved. The host can be reached at social.housing.wg@gmail.com

  The group seeks to educate Metro DC DSA chapter members and the general public about social housing and to facilitate collective action in support of the passage and implementation of the Green New Deal for Housing Amendment Act.  The legislation proposes to create mixed-income, district-owned housing with market rate units that subsidize a larger number of affordable units. It's a pioneering approach that deepens affordability, invests surplus funds into the creation of more social housing, and locks-in financial sustainability. The bill also includes climate and labor standards and elected tenant boards with oversight over building management.  This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters.  RSVP at https://actionnetwork.org/events/november-30-2023-social-housing-organizing-meeting?link_id=46&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-november-17-2023&email_referrer=email_2123314&email_subject=metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-november-24-2023
