It has been a year, to say the least, for the city, for the U.S., for the world. When we sat down to put together this year end recap, we realized that we seriously accomplished a lot this year. Did we bend the space-time continuum? Did you? Regardless, here’s some of what we somehow managed to cram into the last 365 days! (Help us with the next 365 — donate today!)

This year's With One Voice (WOV) International Arts and Homelessness Summit 2018 introduced 250 delegates from 15 countries and dozens of organizations. We all joined up in Manchester, England from November 14-18 - I was excited to be there along with Katy. The program was full of events, including performances, gallery exhibits, talks, workshops, breakout groups, open mics, and tours.

November 1, 2018 was truly inspiring. We workshopped policies, we discussed amendments, we voted, and now we're focusing on ways to follow up. If you’ve had any other ideas, especially after this tight but equally inspiring election!, feel free to write Diamond and let her know! We'll be working with our Policy Rangers over the next few months on what tangible actions we can all take to make this creative brainstorm a reality.
