Call to Action!

The federal government must prioritize permanent supportive housing to protect vulnerable individuals from falling back into homelessness. Cutting funding for these programs threatens both health and safety, and risks undoing years of progress. We must invest in long-term housing solutions to ensure that everyone has a stable foundation for better health and a brighter future. ACT NOW through the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

Receive texts from JUC about urgent social justice/community actions we need people to show up for.

Receive email and/or text messages from the national UUSC Rapid Response Task Force.

This statewide network immediately responds to reported situations by confirming the existence of a raid or the presence of ICE, documenting the case – including using legal observers, and slowing down and controlling the public narrative of these events fighting to keep families together.
