YIMBY Action: Members “shape the candidates we endorse”, and they are also likely to back them with dark money.
Several community members spoke in front of Fort Collins City Council last night about YIMBY Action, a national organization that is working to influence our local election and particularly our local land use. YIMBY Action is a pro-development, pro-density organization that uses ‘people-centric’ language to mask their corporate-centric agenda, and they are endorsing a slate of candidates in our local election. YIMBY Action’s process is to “shape the candidates they endorse’ and are also likely to back them with dark money. Fort Collins needs representatives who are shaped by our neighbors and the local community and not beholden to a national movement who views housing as a commodity and doesn’t care about our community.
