The House our Neighbors meeting was excellent. They brought up damning reporting from the stranger where former Seattle Attorney Pete Holmes describes the treatment I-137 has gotten as voter suppression 🔥
I have some many great notes from this webcast and damn, there's some serious work to do to hold this council accountable for Voter Suppression.

City Council Alternative to I-137 Protects Wealthy Donors at the Expense of the Voters’ Will
The original measure funds social housing by taxing the wealthy, and the council’s alternative does neither.Hannah Krieg (The Stranger)
House Our Neighbors, the folks who've been introducing social housing initiatives, are holding a public discussion tonight about the alternative bill.
Tonight's discussion was supposed to be a public forum with Tanya Woo(who was super uninformed last few council votes lol) but she dropped out. Probably bc she doesn't want to be questioned about this new sabotage proposal.

Ok it seems the council has finally revealed their sabotage plan for I-137.
They introduced an alternative which reduces the $50M for social housing down to $10M ‼️
It also changes the funding source to literally take it out of other existing services already limited budget. 🚨
But the voters petition, which passed and their trying to ignore, would use a small tax on Seattle's mega corps and large businesses.
They will likely delay I-137 to Thursday's meeting.
Right, so where's that leave us, folks who want tax money to maybe help people?
Come on down to the Seattle City Council meeting, Sept 17th, 2024, 2pm! ✨
We're probably gonna be fining homeless people $5k for existing instead of building housing, city council should probably hear from you. 📢
This one seems important, mark your calendar👇🏿
