Vote (and one other thing).

We’ve come full circle. Last winter we were knocking on doors, building a campaign. Spring came, and so did the volunteers. Summer came, and so did the donors. October 6th came, and this grassroots campaign was 145 votes out of first place. Now autumn is breathing her colorful symphony, and it’s time to finish what we started. We can have affordable housing, substantive sustainability measures, and a commitment to a multimodal transportation future. We can rise to our environmental aspirations, energize our local economy, and go confidently into an optimistic future.
