SUMMARY:Civic Saturday: JUST\, LIKE THAT
DESCRIPTION:In a time of deep anxiety\, disconnectedness\, and political polarization\, we need a place to come together in civic community to reflect on and rededicate ourselves to the values and practices of being a contributing member of civic life within the United States. Civic Saturday began in Seattle and is now in more than 100 towns and cities across the country – including Lincoln.\nAt each gathering\, we connect around the values and practices of being an active citizen\, reckon with and reflect on our nation’s creed\, and build relationships that create new civic traditions that are joyful and communal. There will be music from Jack Rodenburg\, original poetry from Bianca Swift\, reading of inspiring “civic texts” from Alicia Phillips and other community members\, a “civic sermon” from National Civic Saturday Fellow Steve Smith\, and time for socializing in “civic circles.”\nThe theme of June 25’s gathering is Just: Like That\, and will focus on ways we all can create a more justice-oriented society. This gathering is free and open to everyone. Join us!\nThis gathering is free and open to everyone!\n\nSAVE YOUR SEAT!

SUMMARY:Housing Rights Night @ Lincoln City Council
DESCRIPTION:Join us to make Monday\, June 27\, housing rights night at the Lincoln City Council meeting. In 2020\, the Lincoln City Council published the Affordable Housing Coordinated Action Plan. This plan was created with the knowledge that Lincoln is lacking affordable housing\, and the need only continues to grow. Community advocates made their voices heard through the creation of this plan\, and it’s time to make our voices heard again for housing rights.\n\nDuring the City Council’s comment period on June 27\, join us to highlight a policy we hope to see introduced as an ordinance soon: an end to source-of-income discrimination. The public hearing is in Room 112 of the County-City Building\, 555 S 10th St.\n\nHave you ever seen a rental posting that says something like “no vouchers” or “no Section 8”? For neighbors that use housing vouchers to secure affordable housing\, these blanket statements mean that at least 20 percent of voucher users are unable to ever use them. Lincoln can change this so we are fully utilizing our housing affordability tools and ensure that more Lincolnites can find a place to call home.\n\nYou can participate in this housing rights night by:\n1. Being present. Sit with us at City Council to show community support for these issues.\n\n2. Share a comment with the City Council during the comment period. Need some guidance crafting your testimony? Email Lizzie at lt*****@*********ed.org and check out this Guide to City Council Comments: https://bit.ly/3O0N8q7\n\n3. Call/email/tweet City Council members to let them know you care about affordable housing in Lincoln. Learn more about source-of-income discrimination here.\n\nThe Council meeting starts at 5:30 pm CDT and the comment period will take place once it finishes with the set agenda. Please note that the start time of the comment period can vary.

SUMMARY:Speak Up For Housing Rights at Lincoln City Council
DESCRIPTION:We’re headed back to Lincoln’s City Council for the comment period on Monday\, July 25\, and hope to see you there. Housing is unaffordable for 45 percent of Lincolnites who rent at all income levels\, and 86 percent of our lowest income neighbors spend over a third of their income on rent. This just isn’t right\, and we want to see the Lincoln City Council take immediate action to increase access to affordable housing for our neighbors.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us to highlight a specific action the City Council can take: ending source of income discrimination. Have you ever seen a rental posting that says something like “no vouchers” or “no section 8”? For neighbors that use housing vouchers to secure affordable housing\, these blanket statements mean that at least 20 percent of voucher users are unable to ever use them. Lincoln can change this so we are fully utilizing our housing affordability tools and ensure that more Lincolnites can find a place to call home.\n\nYou can participate in this housing rights night by:\n\n1. Being present! Sit with us in the city council chambers to show there’s community support for these issues. If you have a housing rights shirt\, wear it!\n\n2. Share a comment with the City Council during the comment period! Need some pointers crafting your testimony? Email Lizzie at LT*****@*********ed.org and check out this Guide to City Council Comments: https://bit.ly/3O0N8q7\n\n3. Call/email/tweet City Council members! Let them know you care about affordable housing in Lincoln!\n\nLearn more about source of income discrimination here: https://bit.ly/39wtkfq\n\nThe City Council meeting starts at 5:30 pm\, and the comment period will take place once they finish with the planned agenda. Please note that the start time of the comment period can vary.

SUMMARY:PURPLE Screening & Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Did you know a study found that 1 in 6 Americans stopped speaking to a family member or close friend after the 2016 election? On July 28\, we’re hosting an online screening of a new film from Resetting the Table that captures the concerns and humanity beneath our national conflicts. Please join us!\nPURPLE tells the story of Americans with opposing viewpoints investigating their differences and discovering the concerns and experiences that lie behind each other’s positions. Filmed in rural Wisconsin and Iowa — in a swing region within two bordering swing states — PURPLE models a rare\, mediated conversation that uplifts and inspires even while going toward the heat of passionate political differences.\nThe screening and post-screening discussion offer a structured opportunity to capture the thinking of the core characters on their own terms\, as well as to explore the value of doing so for our democracy.\nSAVE YOUR SPOT TODAY!

SUMMARY:Collective Impact Lincoln: Housing advocates meetup
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln needs more safe and more affordable housing! Let’s get together with our fellow neighbors passionate about advocating for safe and affordable housing to share a meal\, discuss strategies\, dream big\, and plan some next steps to take together. Join us from 5:30 to 7 pm Friday\, Sept. 30\, at Peter Pan Park for dinner and conversation.\n\nHousing is unaffordable to 45% of Lincolnites who rent at all income levels\, and 86% of extremely low-income families spend more than one-third of their income on rent. We work for housing\, housing needs to work for us. As advocates\, what can we do to move our city to a more equitable housing system? How can we ensure all of our neighbors have a safe and affordable place to call home? Let’s find answers to these questions together. In community we can support each other in our advocacy to find solutions to some of our biggest problems and work towards something better.\n\nThe purpose of this event is to give time for housing advocates to connect with each other in person and talk through ideas\, visions\, and plans. We will have some conversation prompts and small group facilitation for attendees who like a little more structure. If you’re more of a go-with-the-flow type\, you’re also welcome to wander and mingle!\n\nDetails:\n\n– Dinner from Báhnwich Cafe with vegetarian options. Let us know if you have other dietary restrictions.\n\n– There will be light activities for kids\, and there is a playground near the shelter!\n\n– We’ll be gathering in and around the Open Shelter located in Peter Pan Park. It is an ADA-accessible location.\n\n– Please let us know of any other accessibility needs!
