St. Mary's Center Seniors respond to the removal of RM4 from the ballot Senior Advocates for Hope and Justice debriefed the removal of the regional housing bond, RM4, from the November 2024 ballot on August 20. The group was shocked and surprised about the last-minute change and reflected on more than 18 months of policy analysis and advocacy, including this January 2024 Equity Forum with Oakland and Alameda County. St. Mary's Center Seniors won one of the only concessions from the Bay Area Housing Finance Authority, a required evaluation of the production of extremely low-income homes (under 30% Area Median Income) through the Bond. However, we remain committed to advocacy for acutely low-income homes (under 15% Area Media Income.) We will participate in planning in Oakland and Alameda County to ensure more housing serving people in greatest need. Our Seniors recommend endorsing and fighting for Yes on Prop 5 this fall to create future opportunity for housing. Comments I'm very disappointed. We should let the people decide. I will never forget it. I heard it on the news. I realized there was a 50-50 chance it would pass. We did everything that we could. I feel bad for the Seniors who won't get housing now. It's not about the work we put in but about the people who need a place to live. It just wasn't the right time this November. I remember hearing early on about the 2/3 requirement and knowing that the highest polling was about 55%. I do want a T-shirt for Yes on Prop 5. Prop 5 passing will breathe new life into a regional housing bond. It's a tough hill to climb and this hill will be easier. It's indicative of what's going on in politics. Everything is moving in a specific direction and things that are good for people are attacked. They're rolling back things like federal money for public housing. But there's things like surplus land act that we can work on. We need to be strategic, intentional and collaborative and build people power.

Community dialogue on malaria prevention and treatment is the consensus, action and capacity building blocks to empower communities to respond to the priority issues set by its members. Community ownership is inclusive and never leaves its members behind. From the beginning, all community members - women, men, community and religious leaders - decide to participate in the dialogue. They collectively ensure the vulnerable and socially excluded groups are not ignored from the dialogue building process. The dialogue is designed and facilitated by community volunteers to create the opportunity for vulnerable and socially excluded groups; young men and women join the dialogue and get exposure to malaria information and skills to protect their family and neighborhood members. Community members facilitate and manage the decision and the participants' capacity building process of the dialogue. The participants enjoy shared vision, decision, action, relationship and impacts through saying what they feel and being heard. Community dialogue generates the initiation and determination of the community that transforms the local response, practiced for generations, on malaria prevention and treatment.
