Daniel Tamm / Anthony Manousos: Yes on A / Affordable Housing on the Ballot
RSVP AT BOTTOM OF PAGE
Event Description:
The 2024 ballot features a few different propositions and measures around affordable housing and initiatives to help the unhoused. Our experts on these measures will go over the pros and cons of these initiatives.
The Rev. Daniel Tamm will tell the story of a coalition of housing justice and policy experts, which came together over several years to re-imagine how to scale up affordable housing, effective homelessness solutions and prevention commensurate to the scale of the crisis. What they crafted is Measure A, a citizens' initiative which is on the ballot right now for the November 2024 election.
Anthony Manousos, ICUJP board member and co-founder of Making Housing and Community Happen, will be speaking on two ballot measures, Proposition 33 and Proposition 5.
Join the conversation with our speakers:
Daniel's coalition building work includes Our Future Los Angeles, the countywide LA Faith Collaborative to End Homelessness, Los Angeles Faith & Ecology Network, the Bishop’s Commission on Climate Change, the Creation Care Caucus of The Episcopal Church, and CLUE Justice. He facilitates spiritual practice and provides spiritual care at St. Michael's Ministry Center, Riverside.

23nd Anniversary of ICUJP: 23 years of working for Justice and Peace
Twenty-three years ago, Rev. George Regas of All-Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena reached out to clergy, community leaders, and laypeople to come together to seek an alternative to the fear-mongering and vengefulness sweeping much of our nation in the wake of September 11. The message that they wanted to convey was coherent and powerful: “Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.” On that day, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace was born.
These past 22 years have been a journey for ICUJP - five Presidents, four California Governors, and numerous crisis and issues that would shake the resolve of even the most devout and dedicated of activists. But through it all, we go forward in our mission to be the voice for "the least of these", and our determination to create the change we want to see in the world.
On Sunday, September 8th, 2024, ICUJP honored Rev. George Regas's life and legacy, and recognized deserving organizations with the 2023 George F. Regas Courageous Peacemaker Award. Our theme this year was "Passing The Torch - Working for Justice and Peace from City Hall to Palestine", and we wanted to lift up the ancestors that started us on this mission shortly after September 11, 2001. We held up the spirits of Rev. George Regas, Rabbi Leonard Beerman, Dr. Maher Hathout, and Rev. James Lawson at Rev. Lawson's Sothern California home church for many years, Holman United Methodist Church.
We also wanted to acknowledge the ongoing work of the many activists that are carrying on the great strides of the previous generation and answering the call of our era, and we honored the extraordinary leadership of three of those leaders: Hedab Tarifi, Tahil Sharma, and Simone Zimmerman.
Please consider helping Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace in its mission. ICUJP operates as a largely volunteer organization with a small part-time paid staff. We have survived for over 20 years through the generosity of individuals and organizations like you. Like so many other organizations, our ability to raise donations has been hampered during the COVID pandemic.
