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!

SUMMARY:Vote Early Day
DESCRIPTION:When Americans vote early\, they ensure that last-minute problems won’t prevent them from casting their ballots – and help shorten voting lines on Election Day for everyone. But voting early rules\, both for in-person and by-mail options\, vary widely all over the country\, causing confusion and preventing voters from casting ballots.\nCivic Nebraska is among hundreds of groups and individuals taking part in Vote Early Day on Oct. 28\, a nonpartisan movement among media\, businesses\, nonprofits\, election administrators\, and creatives to ensure Americans have the tools to vote early. The statewide voting-rights organization will share early-voting resources at CivicNebraska.org and on social media to encourage Nebraskans to take steps to cast their 2022 ballots early.\nNebraska’s voters began submitting requests for an early mail-in ballot on July 11 for the Nov. 8 general election. Election officials began mailing out ballots to voters on Oct. 3. During the May 10 primary\, nearly 45 percent of Nebraskans cast their vote early.\nEarly voters in Nebraska should know:\n›› Nebraska is a “no-excuse” state\, meaning any registered voter may request an early mail-in (absentee) ballot. You are not required to provide a reason.\n›› You can apply for an early-voting ballot by contacting your county election office by mail or fax. Visit https://bitly.com/NebElexCommish to find your county’s election office.\n›› Online\, you also can print an early voting application\, complete the form\, and then mail\, fax or scan/take its picture\, then email the application to your county’s election office. The last day an early-voting application can be received for the general election is 6 p.m. CDT on Oct. 28.\n›› You can vote early in person at your county election office through Nov. 7. Some county election offices offer extended hours for early voting; voters can contact their county election office directly for information about their hours.\nVoter forms\, including early voting applications\, can be found here. Voters may also visit CivicNebraska.vote for information about voting by mail and CivicNebraska.org/election-2022 for key dates\, dropbox locations\, and answers to FAQs about the 2022 election.
