ACTION ALERT: Support County Civil Grand Jury Housing Recommendations for Palo Alto |
|
Santa Clara County released a Civil Grand Jury report Affordable Housing: A Tale of Two Cities, detailing how Mountain View and Palo Alto have been addressing the regional housing shortage. The differences are stark. Mountain View has far outpaced Palo Alto in its political support, long-range and area planning, funding and process of approving affordable housing.
The Grand Jury report asks Palo Alto City Council to review the findings and create a plan to meet the recommendations. A number of concerned Palo Alto community members have initiated a petition to support the recommendations and would like to send as many signatures as possible to Palo Alto City Council.
Will you join us and sign the petition? Please also share with other local friends!

Speaker Series
Did you make it to our December 9 Speaker Event with Lori Nishiura Mackenzie? If not, no problem. Her talk is on our YouTube page (click on icon above or see image below ). In her talk on the Language of Leadership (for all), she explained the significance of stereotypes on us all, even if we don't like them—their effect on our word choices and even on how we see various leaders’ (in reality, similar) performance differently based on gender stereotypes. Good leaders need both agentic and communal capacity, not just one.
