Boston Lobby Day is still on!

Join Abundant Housing Massachusetts from October 27 to November 2 to meet directly with your Boston City Councilor and advocate for a more affordable, accessible, and safer Boston!

While our City Hall Plaza rally has been postponed, our advocacy continues through meetings with City Councilors.

Together, we're advocating for:

More homes, fewer parking mandates: Removing unnecessary parking requirements that drive up housing costs and make it harder to build the homes Boston needs.

Safer streets: Supporting greater transparency and accountability for street safety improvements.

Your voice matters! This is your opportunity to connect with local elected officials, share your perspective, and help move Boston forward.

Two weeks later, and we’re still feeling the energy from our inaugural Housing Abundance Symposium! 🏡💙

From inspiring conversations and new connections to celebrating the incredible people moving housing abundance forward across Massachusetts, it was a day to remember.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came together to learn, connect, and build momentum toward a Commonwealth where everyone has access to abundant, affordable housing.

Here’s a look back at some of our favorite moments from the day! 📸

Thank you for being part of this growing movement. The best is yet to come! 💙🏠

🏠📣 BOSTON, IT’S TIME TO RALLY FOR MORE HOMES AND SAFER STREETS!

Boston has an opportunity to build more homes, lower unnecessary housing costs, and create safer streets. But we need YOUR voice to make it happen!

Join Abundant Housing Massachusetts for our first BOSTON LOBBY DAY! 🏛️

📅 Wednesday, October 28
⏰ 5:00 PM
📍 Boston City Hall Plaza

We're bringing Boston residents together to call on City Council to take action on two important priorities:

🏘️ More Homes, Fewer Parking Mandates: Removing outdated parking requirements can lower construction costs, give housing developments more flexibility, and help create more homes for Boston residents.

🚲 Safer Streets, Greater Accountability: We're supporting legislation requiring annual public updates on Boston street projects to increase transparency and hold City leaders accountable for progress toward safer streets.

📢 TWO WAYS TO TAKE ACTION:

October 28-Rally at City Hall!
Join neighbors and advocates at 5 PM for a public rally to show City Council that Boston is ready for action!

October 29-November 2-Meet With Your City Councilor!
Take your advocacy a step further by meeting directly with your elected officials. AHMA will provide talking points, resources, and preparation to help you make your voice heard.

No lobbying experience necessary! Whether it's your first time advocating or your fiftieth, everyone has a role to play.

💙 Join us for the rally, a meeting, or BOTH!

Together, we can build a Boston with more homes, safer streets, and more opportunities for everyone.

The legislature is back, and you can make your voice heard on your own time! 📣

As lawmakers negotiate the final economic development bill, two housing reforms are under consideration:

🏘️ Duplex Legalization-Making it easier to build more homes across Massachusetts.

⛪ Yes in God’s Backyard (YIGBY)-Allowing faith-based institutions to create housing on land they already own.

Whether you have five minutes today or time next week, you can contact your legislators whenever it fits your schedule!

📞 Call your state representative and senator.
📧 Send a follow-up email.
📝 Share your thoughts on housing affordability.

We've made it easy with a phone script, talking points, and everything you need to get started.

📣 Join AHMA for Boston Lobby Day!
Boston residents have an opportunity to make their voices heard on two important issues before the City Council: residential parking reform and safer streets.
Join Abundant Housing Massachusetts for our first Boston Lobby Day, starting with a rally at Boston City Hall and followed by opportunities to meet directly with your City Councilor.

📍 Rally at Boston City Hall Plaza
📅 Wednesday, October 28
⏰ 5 PM

Then, from October 29-November 2, Boston residents can join meetings with their City Councilors. AHMA will help coordinate the meetings and provide talking points, resources, and everything you need to participate — no advocacy experience required.
We’ll be talking with councilors about:

🏠 Eliminating residential parking minimums and giving homebuilders more flexibility to meet the needs of each project

🚲 Increasing transparency and accountability around Boston’s work to create safer streets

Whether you join us at the rally, meet with your councilor, or do both, Boston Lobby Day is a chance to participate directly in the local policymaking process.
📣 Register for the rally and sign up for a City Councilor meeting today!

We’re hiring canvassers to talk directly with voters about Question 7 and help build support for Legalize Starter Homes across Massachusetts. Canvassers will go door-to-door, have conversations about the housing shortage and Question 7, and help voters make a plan to cast their ballots this November.

If approved by voters this November, it would allow new starter homes on residential lots of at least 5,000 square feet with 50 feet of street frontage in parcels served by public water and sewer. And now, we need your help getting the word out

Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis until all spots are filled. This is a short-term, hourly position expected to run through November 3.

Thank you for making our inaugural Housing Abundance Symposium such a special day! 🏡💙

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined us from across Massachusetts to learn, connect, celebrate, and share in a vision for a Commonwealth with abundant, affordable housing for everyone.

From our keynote conversation with Jamelle Bouie and AHMA Executive Director Jesse Kanson-Benanav, to workshops on organizing, communications, policy advocacy, and campaign strategy, the day was filled with thoughtful conversations, new connections, and so much energy for the work ahead.

A huge thank you to our presenters, panelists, workshop leaders, sponsors, partners, affiliates, volunteers, and everyone who helped bring the Symposium to life. And most of all, thank you to every attendee who showed up with your experiences, questions, ideas, and enthusiasm.

Our Celebration of Abundance Luncheon was another highlight of the day, giving us the chance to recognize some of the incredible advocates, affiliate groups, and partners helping move housing abundance forward in communities across the Commonwealth.

We left the Symposium feeling energized and grateful for this growing movement and excited for what we can build together.

Thank you for being part of it. 💙🏠
