The National Housing Law Project (NHLP) recently announced Story Bank, a powerful new initiative to fight back against the Trump Administration’s unlawful and dangerous housing policies. NHLP is calling for tenants, legal aid attorneys, and housing advocates to share their stories to help build collective power and leverage for the housing justice movement.
Stories are powerful. In an era of misinformation and corporate influence, personal stories cut through the noise and help build the power necessary to demand change. By sharing real life experiences, we can hold decision-makers accountable and push for policies that protect tenants, not corporate profits.
While they are seeking varied and diverse stories, NHLP lists a few guiding questions to generate ideas from participants: “Is the program you work for losing funding as a result of the Administration's executive orders? Are you unable to access services because a program's funding was cut? Was there a disruption in your rental assistance payments related to the Administration’s actions?”
