SUMMARY:Rent is Due: Day of Action - 3/6/24
DESCRIPTION:As we work towards our vision for “all people to have a home\,” we know that at the beginning of every month\, over 200\,000 households pay too much rent. Housing insecurity jeopardizes the health of individuals and families\, drives the growing numbers of people experiencing homelessness\, and increases the racial disparities already present.  \nWe gather the first Wednesday of every month as Beacon advocates to change this reality. We are working to create rental assistance for all through Bring it Home\, Minnesota\, create new policies to make more deeply affordable supportive housing available\, and other policies so all people have a home. During our 30-minute virtual meeting\, you will hear updates on Bring it Home\, Minnesota\, and our other campaigns\, hear from special guests or elected officials\, and be given concrete actions to do.   \nOur goal is an efficient\, clear meeting once a month for you to feel connected to the work and able to take impactful action. We have been holding this meeting successfully since June of 2020\, and for these three years\, people joining together to take action once a month have made a difference.  \nA Zoom meeting with Closed Captioning is available. Please register below to receive the link to join.
