Low-Income Housing Canvassing Actions in Broward and Miami-Dade!

A huge thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers who came out with SAVE today for our Low-Income Housing Canvassing actions in Broward and Miami-Dade!

Our LGBTQ community knows the importance of a safe place to call home. Sadly, LGBTQ people are disproportionately impacted by the lack of low-income housing, especially people who are transgender or living with HIV.

The most strategic work we can do right now to help combat housing insecurity for our friends and families is connecting with voters door to door and having authentic, meaningful conversations to help reduce prejudice.

It will take a big team to change hearts and minds, and we can’t do it without you!
