Following on the momentum of our Beverly and Salem event with 160+ attendees standing up to demand statewide action on housing, we're holding an action with Senator Crighton, Rep. Capano, Rep. Cahill, and Rep. Armini this Tuesday the 26th from 6:30 to 8:00 PM at Zion Baptist Church in Lynn (4 Adams St. Ext.) to expand the pressure to as many legislators as possible in advance of the key budget vote. It's simple: The more ECCO community members who come, the more our elected officials will feel accountable! All ECCO members are welcome, and especially those from the legislators' districts-- Lynn, Swampscott, Lynnfield, Marblehead, Saugus, and Nahant.

Housing Legislative Action for Lynn, Swampscott, and Surrounding Areas

When: Tuesday, March 26th, 6:30-8:00 PM

Where: Zion Baptist Church (4 Adams Street Ext.)

Hold your elected officials accountable to create and expand access to affordable housing! Working together with our allies at Neighbor 2 Neighbor and Lynn United for Change, we'll share stories from directly impacted community members and ask our legislators to commit to taking urgently needed action on housing: backing $1.6 billion in funding for state-owned public housing, making sure that state-subsidized "affordable housing" is truly affordable, establishing rent control, ensuring access to housing for returning citizens, and more. Please pass this along to your communities-- it's sure to be a powerful event! You can register at bit.ly/essexhousingjustice.

Feel free to reach out to our organizers Colette (colette@eccoaction.org) and Allen (allen@eccoaction.org) with any questions at all. We're excited to see you there!
