On Thursday, February 25, we're boarding buses for Annapolis, where we'll meet with legislators about—and testify and rally in support of—bills that support our work to prevent and end homelessness.

Please join us if you can. If you can't, please get behind the above issues and help us advance our advocacy agenda.
