• The creation and preservation of affordable and supportive housing, social housing, and community land trusts; 
• Protecting tenants and keeping tenants housed; 
• Ensuring inclusive and equitable housing and economic development; 
• Advancing and enforcing fair housing and affordable housing laws;
• Ending the criminalization of homelessness and poverty; 
• Supporting workers and low-income entrepreneurs, including street vendors;
• Reparation of the harms of past racial discrimination and segregation; and
• Other campaigns relating to tackling and undoing systemic racism and uplifting marginalized communities of color.
