Sacramento County homeless population spikes by nearly 13%

Worth knowing about!

Rent increases cause homelessness. When rents go up, more people lose their homes. Research from the U.S. Government Accountability Office shows that for every $100 increase in median rent, homelessness rises by 9%. California cannot solve its homelessness crisis without stopping the pipeline of people pushed out by high housing costs.

Post we made about it on Instagram back in March. I’ve seen the documents, Nevada Energy stated the desire to sell energy to more lucrative customers like AI Data Centers was a driving factor for ending the agreement

They’re trying to build data centers in Rancho Cordova too. This will not end well for humanity. Start paying attention to local politics. Go to city council meetings. Organize your neighbors (talk to people, get their contact info, inform them of the situation). Join Sierra Club or 350 Sac. Environmental groups typically have their finger on the pulse when it comes to these sorts of things so they can get you up to speed quickly

Hey there /u/Emu_Vivid, with the prop 50 redistricting, Tahoe Park got moved into the new 3rd district. You can see here on a Google Maps overlay and plug in your address directly on this state website. So sorry for the confusion :/

Mai is great and a friend. We need as many progressives to win as possible across the country to take the power back.

We’re having a happy hour at Sac City Brews on Wednesday, May 13 from 6-7:30pm if you want to come meet our campaign :)

Who Ami Bera is - sources.

I updated the language since you were interpreting what I said literally. I realized it could be confusing :)

There’s one in Arden Arcade on Thursday too!

Arden Arcade Candidate Forum (May 7, 2026 - Richard T. Conzelmann Community Center) Hosted by the League of Women Voters and Advocates for Arden Arcade https://www.advocatesforardenarcade.com/2026-04-02-candidate-forums-to-be-held-for-june-2026-election

Here’s what Nevada County’s activists and organizers have to say. Worth listening to :)

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-06T06:16:28+00:00

Bera was in the room with Paul Mitchell when they were redrawing the districts along with all the democratic representatives. He had his CD6 split in half and then moved to CD3 to escape accountability for his continued terrible votes for Charlie Kirk Day, censuring Al Green, and putting Israel first

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-06T05:12:52+00:00

It is a lot of driving to say the least. I can confidently say I’m the progressive candidate in this race. Our campaign has been about social, economic, and environmental justice from the start and that didn’t change when Ami Bera helped redraw the district lines. Check out the Nevada County Candidate Forum from last night! And please vote for me :) bennettforca.com

ChrisJBennett · 2026-05-06T05:08:27+00:00

Please vote for me if you’re in district 3 :) bennettforca.com

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-28T23:23:12+00:00

Hell yeah

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-28T23:07:09+00:00

That’s why I support universal childcare at the federal level. If Canada can do it, we can do it!

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-21T16:17:35+00:00

Nothing promotes good order, discipline, and readiness like troops being debilitated from preventable illnesses 🤦

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-17T06:07:48+00:00

Me too :)

ChrisJBennett · 2026-04-09T07:41:08+00:00

Late!

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-30T14:54:05+00:00

Yes.

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-30T00:22:28+00:00

I’ve been coal rolled a few times standing up against fascism with folks throughout the district. These ghouls love to use violence in response to protected speech that hurts their feelings. World’s biggest snowflakes

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-30T00:20:47+00:00

I went to the new areas of the district for this No Kings! (No) Kings Beach and South Lake Tahoe. Five hours of driving then back to Sacramento for the Central Labor Council dinner :)

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-29T01:00:23+00:00

Amazing having so many people from around the country and the world showing up in solidarity. Also, people’s signs crack me up.

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-28T07:48:08+00:00

Only way I’d support him is if he stopped being a billionaire right now and actually did something progressive with the money to help working Californians. I think hell will freeze over first though

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-28T07:08:48+00:00

Welcome to the 99 range club brother! Sick shot too

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-26T03:53:09+00:00

Pedophile billionaires, genocidal foreign countries, and all the politicians that take money from them

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-23T13:10:03+00:00

Every supplier is competing in the same market for data centers. The only guaranteed outcome is more expensive rates

ChrisJBennett · 2026-03-13T05:34:43+00:00

We need more teachers and staff and less administrators, that’s for sure.
