Memo to Members

Join “Fight Back to Protect HUD! Day of Action” in DC and Nationwide on Tuesday, May 20

May 19, 2025

Housing advocacy networks from around the country are holding a National Day of Action on Tuesday May 20 to show support for federal housing and homelessness programs and demand safe, stable, accessible and affordable homes for all. The day of action is organized by Popular Democracy, Right to the City, People’s Action, and PowerSwitch Action.  

The Washington, D.C. event will begin with a rally at noon ET at the Capitol, followed by visits to elected officials. There will also be satellite events taking place around the country.  

Federal housing programs are under threat with President Trump’s “skinny” budget request proposing significant cuts to several HUD programs and programmatic changes that would create barriers for people to access housing assistance (see Memo 5/2). Join the May 20 day of action to make your voice heard and stand up for affordable housing and homelessness programs!
