ROC Your Heart!

Now that we have entered into 2022, a year that could bring more uncertainty, we need your strength to make change.
Residents Organizing for Change is still a new network, but ROC is powerful! And has a lot of heart. That is why this year we will ROC YOUR HEART!

In order for us to continue our efforts in housing justice we need you to join us. February 14th is the beginning of our Housing Opportunity Week. Register today to come with us as we meet with legislators to advocate for more better housing policies.

Who should join us? You, advocates who have waited for a set of keys after months of waiting. You who has a voucher. You who has spent a night in a car. You are an important housing justice warrior.

What is ROC Your Heart week? A chance to speak directly to your elected officials about issues that matter to you.

Where will you be? From the comfort of your personal computer. Most legislators are meeting with constituents virtually.

When is it? The week of February 14th 2022. We will schedule a short meeting with people in your community who also have a story to share with your legislator.
