Beacon Rent is Due Day of Action June 5, 2024
From Beacon:
Rent is Due: Day of Action
June 5, 2024, 8:30-9 am, on Zoom
As we work towards our vision for “all people to have a home,” we know that at the beginning of every month, over 200,000 households pay too much rent. Housing insecurity jeopardizes the health of individuals and families, drives the growing numbers of people experiencing homelessness, and increases the racial disparities already present.
We gather the first Wednesday of every month as Beacon advocates to change this reality. We are working to create rental assistance for all through Bring it Home, Minnesota, create new policies to make more deeply affordable supportive housing available, and other policies so all people have a home. During our 30-minute virtual meeting, you will hear updates on Bring it Home, Minnesota, and our other campaigns, hear from special guests or elected officials, and be given concrete actions to do.
Our goal is an efficient, clear meeting once a month for you to feel connected to the work and able to take impactful action. We have been holding this meeting successfully since June of 2020, and for these three years, people joining together to take action once a month have made a difference.
Register now to attend the Zoom event.

This is an easy way to take action. Beacon provides a letter to send to whatever elected officials are on their docket that day, and you can add to it or send it as it is. The addresses of the officials are added automatically, so you don’t even have to look anything up. (Well, maybe the first time, but usually the setup does the work for you.) People from all over the Twin Cities attend, so you are part of lots of voices.
