We can work TOGETHER on NARRATIVE CHANGE
Our Purpose
WAKE UP CALIFORNIA is a new 501c4 dedicated to narrative change, to take back “reality” from our politicians and special interest groups who have completely saturated the press with falsehoods about the nature of our housing crisis. and the tools needed to actually solve it.
To have an impact we need to lobby collectively, challenge the laws and corporate press, and be visible. We must support candidates with platforms of common sense housing policy that create affordable housing without destroying communities’ quality of life or putting residents at risk.
WAKE UP CALIFORNIA was conceived by Amy Kalish as a way to bring statewide and community organizations together to create a unified voice for a reason around housing policy.
After several years running Citizen Marin, which started as a local resource to track housing projects, Amy expanded it to take on a state wide focus. Fire and evacuation access are vital, but irrelevant to the state housing mandates. This must change.
Amy has attended meetings and interfaced with many state, city, and neighborhoods groups. Though all organizations serve their important purpose, a connection to unite their messaging will increase our collective strength.
To succeed we need to create short, compelling media, engage the press, advertise, lobby, and support candidates.
WAKE UP CALIFORNIA welcomes individuals and organizations small and large to join together for this purpose.

Together
we can work stronger together
There are many excellent organizations in California working hard to change housing policy. We all have our own niches. As a coalition we can be larger than the sum of our parts.
