In October, the San Francisco homeless services community is coming together to host a Town Hall to address racism and homelessness in our city details here to buy tickets to the community event.

We will take a deeper look at questions including:

• What is the connection between racism and economic inequality?

• Why are African Americans disproportionately represented among people experiencing homelessness in SF?

• What can we do to imagine a more equitable future?

We have some amazing speakers who have agreed to join us. Unfortunately, we don't have a budget for the venue or any additional costs.

Will you help us pay for a venue, and continue this urgent conversation about racial justice in our city? All donations given through our HandUp campaign will be matched 100% by Google.org!
