Last Friday, June 4, 226 of us from across the Network gathered in a shared Call for Action to prevent and end homelessness in Western Massachusetts. Our state legislators, our mayors, our PARTNERS from across every sector and every county got inspired together to “make the decisions” necessary to end homelessness.
You can collect on this inspiration, too.
Below is the video link with pointers to the “highest fuel” sources (15 minutes total), so you can share in this experience of hopeful, personal and powerful messages from our presenters, including our own region’s leaders.

And NOW is the time to contact our legislators to urge them to pass an extension of Chapter 257 and CDC protections – GO HERE to learn more and ACT.
