You Earned It!
Dear Family,
This week, we walked for home.
Not just houses—but for belonging. For safe places to land. For fresh starts, front porches, and the right to live and love freely in the communities we helped build.
We walked in the footsteps of Shirley Chisholm —not just the first Black woman to run for president, but a tireless advocate for housing justice. As a member of Congress, she fought on the front lines for tenant rights, community development, and the dignity of safe, affordable housing. She never asked permission to lead. And neither do we.
And if you showed up and walked five times this week? You embodied that same boldness.
You’ve earned your Shirley Chisholm Badge. For demanding space. For standing in truth. For believing we all deserve a place to call home.
