Speakers
On August 28th, 2024, YIMBYs for Harris raised more than $130,000 for the Harris Victory Fund with more than 30,000 viewers and over 75 guest stars, including:
Governor Wes Moore
of Maryland
“We made the choice to put housing front-and-center this year because we know this issue can’t wait. We introduced the most comprehensive housing package of any Maryland administration in recent history – and we were unapologetic about it.”
Governor Jared Polis
of Colorado
“In many ways, the lack of housing is a completely contrived problem. It's a problem of our own making. And we can unleash and remove barriers to significantly more opportunities for housing.”
Senator Brian Schatz
of Hawaii
“Fixing the housing shortage starts at an obvious place. To have more housing, we need to make it easier to build it. We’re going to have to be the party of construction. We’re going to have to be the party of breaking ground.”
Congressman Maxwell Frost
of Florida
“We can fully realize that, in this country, having a roof over your head and housing should be a human right. But we can’t just talk about it. We have to make sure that, as a federal government, we have leadership at the top that believes we need to get rid of things like exclusionary zoning laws and parking minimums which keep us from being able to build affordable housing and high density housing in our communities, so people can live live near opportunity.”
Mayor London Breed
of San Francisco
“America is not a museum. We protect some places for historical reasons, but cities are valuable because of their people, and in order to serve and protect those people and to make sure they have a safe affordable place to call home, all roads lead to housing.”
State Senator Scott Wiener
of California
“We’re winning the argument on housing: That we will solve the housing crisis only when we build an enormous number of new homes. YIMBYism — more homes, more public transportation, more clean energy, more of all the good stuff — is absolutely the future.”
