We did it! Lincolnites passed source-of-income protections!
Thanks to your advocacy and the Lincoln For Fair Housing coalition, 66% of Lincoln voters approved source-of-income protections in housing prohibiting landlords and property managers from turning away tenants based solely on how they pay rent!
Now, Lincoln joins the 22 states and 128 cities and towns in the United States to help more folks access safe, affordable, and accessible housing. Lincolnites will no longer be denied a home because of how they pay rent. The passage of this initiative will immediately increase their chances at safe, affordable housing.
The Appleseed Store is now OPEN! When you wear Appleseed apparel, you help raise awareness and inspire others to take action. Each item sold supports Appleseed’s mission of fighting for justice and opportunity for all Nebraskans. Check out the Appleseed Store today!

TAKE ACTION
preserve voter-approved paid sick leave
Last November, voters across Nebraska overwhelmingly passed Initiative 436, a statewide ballot initiative that gives all workers the ability to earn and use paid sick leave – without retaliation from their employers.
The Nebraska Legislature has voted to advance LB415 (Sen. Beau Ballard), which would remove paid sick leave protections from 140,000 hardworking Nebraskans – including people working at small businesses, seasonal and temporary agricultural workers, and workers under the age of 16. Additionally, LB415 exempts businesses with 10 or fewer employees from having to provide paid sick leave, and it removes important protections for workers who face retaliation from their employers for using paid sick leave.
Urgent: Sign petition to OPPOSE LB 415,
Sign this petition NOW to tell our lawmakers to honor the will of Nebraska voters and oppose LB 415’s attempt to undermine access to paid sick leave.
Tell your senator to OPPOSE LB415!
Will you email your senator and tell them to oppose LB415?
Your voice is important in building a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive Nebraska.
