Take Action
We believe strongly that the affordability crisis is solvable and that Truro's future can be bright. Momentum is now on the side of thoughtful, sustainable actions to preserve Truro's quality of life, to support the return of working class families and of a vibrant year-round community.
Across the Outer Cape, concerned citizens are being heard, towns are moving ahead on multiple projects. The crisis is here but it is now beginning to be addressed.
But with each step forward, more mis-information and increasingly desperate scare tactics appear as well. Truro has not escaped the ugly trend in America where rationale discourse, science based solutions and trust in our institutions has become suspect.
Join with us to help reverse that trend and create a new sustainable future for Truro.
Here's how you can help:
1) Sign up for our occasional newsletter and stay informed about how the affordable housing crisis is being addressed in Truro and elsewhere.
2) Take Action Against Mis-information!
-

-

-
Support candidates to key committees and the Select Board that support affordable housing in Truro.
As Walsh and other initiatives progress, we keep you updated through our newsletter about new developments with fact based information. We will let you know how to take action to help ensure sure that Truro has a bright and sustainable future.
