SUMMARY:Give to Lincoln Day
DESCRIPTION:The month of May is the most impactful time of the year to make the most of your support for Nebraska Appleseed. \nGive to Lincoln Day is Thursday\, May 29th\, but you can give early starting today. \nWhen you give in May\, your support goes even further: \n\nYour gift increases Appleseed’s share of the Lincoln Community Foundation’s $650\,000 proportional match pool. Last year\, Appleseed received an additional $5\,800 from this fund because people gave for Give to Lincoln Day!\nYour support will help unlock an $8\,500 grassroots challenge match pledged by generous Appleseed supporters if we reach 350 grassroots supporters.

SUMMARY:Housing Advocate Summit: Advancing Renters' Rights and Equity in Housing - Day 2
DESCRIPTION:Register here: https://forms.gle/HWr9ddRPWGTrdnAm7\n*Signing up through this form is not required to attend\, but it is helpful! \nIn Nebraska\, the housing crisis is a stark reality for many\, with 89% of extremely low-income renters unable to afford even basic housing. Affordable housing remains a distant dream for a quarter of the state’s renters\, and across all income levels\, a wage of $20.32 per hour is required just to afford a modest two-bedroom apartment. This is not just about numbers; it’s about the lived experiences of countless renters who face insurmountable barriers to safe\, accessible\, and affordable housing.We are strongest when we work together\, so join us to strengthen our community as advocates and build our collective knowledge as we continue to advocate for justice in housing.  \nThis event is dedicated to being a welcoming and inclusive space\, amplifying the experiences of folks who are most impacted by the housing crisis. We know that it takes all of us from across the social change ecosystem to reach the positive housing futures we seek\, and in our current society\, it is most frequently the voices of those with the most resources whose perspectives are tended to. Together\, we will strive to uplift the voices of those who aren’t always heard— renters\, Black\, indigenous\, and people of color\, survivors of domestic violence\, single parents\, immigrants\, LGBTQ+ community members\, low-income folks\, formerly-incarcerated individuals\, and those with disabilities. Your presence is vital. Please let us know how we can support your participation\, including any accommodations you may need. \nWe will have Spanish interpreters and childcare available to ensure everyone can take part. \nWorkshops will include:  \n\nLearnings from tenant unions \nHow to Make Your Voice Heard in Nebraska’s State Legislature \nRenter’s Rights Training \nArt for Advocacy \nPresentation from the Tenant Assistance Project \nCoffee Hour with Senators \nAdvocate Speed Chatting \nOrganizing 101\nAnd more!\n\nWe will also have opportunities for community building and community care such as resource sharing\, get to know each other activities\, group walks\, shared meals\, and more! \nRegarding COVID-19 and community care: If you are feeling unwell or have been in close contact with someone who is feeling unwell\, please stay home. Likewise\, if you suspect that you have contracted or been exposed to COVID-19\, please stay home. COVID-19 is a threat to the safety and wellbeing of all people\, but especially for disabled\, immunocompromised\, and folks with high risk factors. These communities are also disproportionately impacted by many of the housing issues our group seeks to address\, so let’s keep their safety in mind. Collective Impact Lincoln will provide KN95 masks to participants who wish to wear them to prevent the transmission of COVID-19. \nView information here to view bus routes to UNL East Union: https://parking.unl.edu/city-east-campus-routes \nContact Lizzie Turner with any questions\, feedback\, accessibility needs & to join our Housing Advocate listserv: lturner@neappleseed.org
