It just takes a minute to email ABC's City Councillors.
Ask them to reject their backroom handlers, show some courage, and oppose Ken Sim's Cuts.
Also there's an election next year. Now's a great time to join the Coalition of Progressive Electors.

There was an old tweet that stuck with me: "If you can easily walk to the coffee shop but your barista has a one hour commute, you don't live in a walkable 15 minute city; you live in a theme park"
as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.
