This webinar, hosted by Call Marin Home and a number of other housing organizations, will present the facts about Prop 1 and Prop 43. Register here.
California voters have an unprecedented opportunity this November to invest billions into building and preserving affordable housing, solving homelessness, and expanding homeownership for the next generation. The Veterans and Affordable Housing Bond Act of 2026 (Proposition 1) places a $11.25 billion bond on this year’s ballot — allowing voters to support affordable housing for lower-income households.
Other measures could negatively impact housing. Proposition 43, the “The Taxpayer Deception Initiative” (our label), would require that local ballot measures proposing, extending, or increasing special taxes initiated by citizens receive a two-thirds (66.67%) vote to be enacted. If this measure passes, it will make California the hardest place in the country to raise local revenue for vital public services.
On September 30, advocates from leading affordable housing organizations across the Bay Area will present the facts about Prop 1 and Prop 43, answer any questions you have about these ballot measures or others, and invite YOU to get involved to encourage California and Bay Area voters to say YES to funding the future of affordable housing.
This session is presented by East Bay Housing Organizations, Call Marin Home, Housing Santa Cruz County, Generation Housing, Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo County, SV@Home, and All Home.

The LWVMC, MCFL, and Rize Marin (formerly Performing Stars of Marin) are hosting a screening of the recently rediscovered BBC documentary The Mood of America. This film chronicles the desegregation of Marin County schools, focusing on the aftermath of the voluntary integration plan implemented in 1965 within the Sausalito Marin City School District. Through the voices of students, parents, school board members, and Principal Sidney Walton, it offers an intimate look at the challenges, hopes, and tensions surrounding this early effort toward educational equity. Perhaps the most striking aspect of this documentary—filmed more than fifty years ago—is how familiar many of the emotions and frustrations still feel today.
A panel discussion will follow the screening.
Time:
Reception: 5pm - 6pm
Screening: 6pm - 8pm

During this month’s meeting we will screen a powerful and deeply affecting documentary that tells the story of a young man from New York City who suffered profound trauma within the incarceration system, trauma that ultimately led to his death. The film also honors his mother, who passed away not long after, and features her poetry throughout the narrative. Their story and the unwavering advocacy of their community resulted in meaningful changes in the law and reforms within the carceral system. Our discussion afterward will center the lived realities of systemic injustice and the collective power of community advocacy to drive lasting reform. No RSVP necessary.
