7-Day Advocacy Challenge

day 7: continuing your advocacy journey
homelessness is not inevitable: it is a societal problem with proven solutions

Congratulations on making it to Day 7 of the DWC Advocacy Challenge! You did it! As we conclude a week filled with complex and often disturbing stories, this last challenge is dedicated to celebrating the hope and resilience within all of us. 

Homelessness often seems like a problem too big solve. But the fact is that proven, evidence-based solutions do exist — we just need the funding, resources, and support of compassionate, dedicated community members like you to help fix it. Your advocacy journey this week is a big part of our society’s journey towards ending homelessness of any kind, once and for all.

We are so honored to have you with us in this fight and grateful for the time you spent learning with us this week. As homelessness continues to rise in Los Angeles — and with the total effect of the COVID-19 pandemic still unknown — it’s more important than ever that we join together in solidarity, as neighbors, to ensure that none of us have to endure a life without a safe, stable home. 

We hope this 7-Day Advocacy Challenge is just the beginning of your journey, and we can’t wait to see where it takes you. Thank you for joining the movement for a Los Angeles with every woman housed!
