Being in the room matters.
It may look like showing up for conversations with an elected official to say you support an end to homelessness. That may mean turning out during critical city council or legislative votes. Or maybe it’s attending the launch of a new building. Being in the room matters, because your voice matters. Beacon offers a wide variety of events where you can lift up your voice to make a difference for our community. We hope you’ll attend one of our upcoming actions and add your voice to our growing movement.
Your presence has power. When you attend a Beacon event, you help forward our vision that all people have a home.
Rent Is Due: Day of Action
The pandemic and economic crisis are building into an eviction crisis, which could add to the already too large number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness. We cannot let this happen, and home is the solution. We need Bring it Home, MN, a rent subsidy program that will allow all low-income Minnesotans the security and reassurance of home.
On the first weekday of each month join us at 8:30 a.m. for a thirty-minute update meeting, where we will learn more about the growing crisis, reflect together over instructions on how to take action together.
We are committed to holding a Rent is Due: Day of Action every month, so please mark your calendars for the rest of the year. We plan on having this event the first of the month, except when it lands on the weekend.
We look forward to joining with you to take action for our neighbors.
Beacon Now: Weekly Virtual Tours
Whether you’re brand new to Beacon or have been a supporter for years, we invite you to attend a virtual “Beacon Now” session every Wednesday. We’ll touch on the basics of Beacon’s work, go in depth on one aspect of that work, and discuss how we can make a difference for our neighbors now. RSVP for our weekly sessions.
