Some of our folks are headed down to city hall tomorrow to support unsticking something that can unlock getting more homes built here in SEAtown. Check it out, spread the word!

Seattle's council votes tomorrow on how to feed hungry kids.
We dug in and landed somewhere that surprised us: close the weekend and school-break gap, reach families automatically so no one has to prove they're poor, and build to universal meals once it's funded for real.

Proud to see @ForSeattleWA members could be a part of getting this across the finish line! Amazing how something so tangibly helpful got so little attention. Hope more of my neighbors show up for things like this!

Speaking for our growing community @ForSeattleWA, got a chance to vocalize the need for results over more process to meet the extremely urgent need to kickstart building more homes here in Seattle theurbanist.org/mha-housing-…

New homebuilding in Seattle is down ~90% since 2020. Fewer new homes mean tighter competition and higher rents to come.
We've joined @sightline and others encouraging the Mayor and Council to update MHA. Our proposal (MHA 2.0): forseattle.substack.com/p/mh…

A teacher in Rainier Beach shouldn't have to commute from Tacoma. But that's the math right now.

Congratulations to Geeta Rao Gupta, our next Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues at the State Department.
A lifelong advocate, Ambassador Gupta will continue the fight to lift up women and girls everywhere and to secure their basic freedoms and rights.
ALT Vice President Harris swears in Geeta Rao Gupta, Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues at the State Department.
Amen. So much nonsense!
@SecCardona why has the hold harmless/buy back option been removed from borrowers who consolidated their loans? Especially after borrowers were encouraged to consolidate during the PSLF waiver. I’ve dedicated my legal career to public sector for 10 years and I’m ready to move on!
Fascinating coverage, @mshilary...
A record number of Black women are running as conservatives in races across America this midterm election.
After a year of speaking with them around the country, @AP’s @mshilary shares why these Black women don't want race to influence their chances to win. #Election2022
Interesting, but clearly not enough to reverse longstanding trends. especially with recent changes to interest rates. '1 big thing: That homeownership bump' axios.com/newsletters/axios-… #axiosmarkets cc @LandedHomes

Thanks for including how our team at @LandedHomes is looking at the #hottopic of offices in your write-up, @MicheKilloran!
Is it correct to think of the office as a discretionary cost? It's not that simple.. In this market where companies are focused on cutting burn and extending runway, this question keeps coming up.
