Our campaign is having a significant impact across the country and in the media landscape. Together, we have not only garnered extensive media coverage but have also shifted public dialogue towards more compassionate and informed perspectives on homelessness. Our work has been featured in dozens of outlets from around the world. Below you can find some of our favorite coverage.

Rest assured, our collective voice is being heard and making a difference.

 
We will be in touch soon with next steps. For now, we again want to extend our deep thanks for joining us not only to reject jailing and fining our unhoused neighbors forced to sleep outside but also for pushing for a world where everybody has the housing they need to thrive.  
 
In solidarity,
