PROTEST OPPORTUNITY: Mayors are meeting at a big conference on May 31. Let’s make sure they recognize the housing crisis!!

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities is the main national lobby group of mayors, councillors and other elected municipal officials.They meet online on May 31. We need to make sure they recognize the housing crisis as their central issue.How can we lobby the lobbyists and make sustainable home prices & a fair housing market their priority? (They talk about “affordable housing” to some extent, meaning low-income high-density housing, which is a crucial policy point but one already well-covered by lobbyists.) Officials are not recognizing the crisis of unsustainable prices/unfair market practices and that must change.A few ideas:lobby FCM directly to make sustainable home prices and a fair housing market their priority (via email pressure campaign or direct 1:1 advocacy with officials)find and propose speakers who they should add to the conference — people who are good on this issue and can advance our agenda (the schedule is not yet set) <- do you know anyone worthy? maybe a good professional/economist with a YouTube presence?attend the conference virtually and force officials, mayors and speakers to answer questions on this issueAre you a student? You can get us access or attend yourself! We will pay all conference fees. DM me if you can help.Thanks to u/TeamDiversify for pointing this out. via /r/canadahousing https://www.reddit.com/r/canadahousing/comments/mmr2ac/protest_opportunity_mayors_are_meeting_at_a_big/?utm_source=ifttt
