EBHO's October Lunch & Learn: Prop 50

Join EBHO and the League of Women Voters of Oakland for this informational session about California's upcoming Statewide Special Election in which voters will decide on Proposition 50.

The California Constitution establishes the Citizens Redistricting Commission, which is required to adjust the boundary lines of US Congressional, State Senate, State Assembly, and State Board of Equalization districts in the year following the year in which the national census is taken at the beginning of each decade.

If passed, this ballot measure, Proposition 50, would authorize temporary changes to congressional district maps in response to Texas’s planned redistricting. Temporarily overriding the authority of the Citizens Redistricting Commission would require the state to temporarily use the congressional districts reflected in AB 604 of the 2025–26 Regular Session for every congressional election until the new congressional boundary lines are drawn by the Commission in 2031.

East Bay Housing Organizations began as a series of informal, monthly brown bag lunches. Affordable housing developers, architects, advocates, city staff, and community activists gathered to discuss how to advance affordable housing in Oakland.

For our 40th Anniversary in 2024, in the spirit of the year's theme, Powerful Legacy, Powerful Future, we launched a monthly series of virtual Lunch & Learn events, where we learned from the past 40 years of successful advocacy to help guide us as we mobilize for future action. Now in 2025, we are excited to continue this series into a new year! This series is free and open to the public. RSVP for Zoom information!
