This #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate the women who make our communities stronger.
We’re especially proud to uplift the contributions of Black women, Indigenous women, women of color, and trans women—whose leadership continue to shape a better future.
This month and beyond, we honor all women.

✅ It’s OFFICIAL! The Empty Homes proposal has PASSED.
The proposal is simple:
▪️Homes should be lived in.
▪️Homes should strengthen communities.
▪️Homes should be for San Diegans.
Now the conversation moves citywide. Let’s get to work.
🚨 TODAY’S THE DAY! The Empty Homes Tax is headed to Council at 2PM and we need YOU there!
More than 5,100 homes are sitting empty while families are struggling to afford rent and 1st-time buyers can’t get a foot in the door.
Show up. Speak out. Let’s make it clear: HOMES SHOULD BE FOR SAN DIEGANS.
Grateful our community partners, Alliance SD and SD Housing Federation, laid out exactly why the Empty Homes Tax is a win-win.
When more than 5,100 homes sit empty while families struggle to afford rent or buy their 1st home, we have a responsibility to act.
