The Law Center is proud to launch its All-In to End Homelessness campaign and solidarity pledge drive.
The All-In campaign recognizes the 25th Anniversary of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act -- both its many achievements, and the work yet to be done.
The Video

The Campaign Launch Event On April 12, the
Law Center and American University's School of Communication launched
the All-In to End Homelessness campaign on the campus of AU. The
awareness-raising event taught AU students and faculty about the
homelessness crisis and gave them a chance to sign the All-In Pledge.
In a matter of hours, over 500 people pledged their support.
To learn more about the homelessness crisis, read this poster
showing key facts that was distributed at the event.

If you or your organization are interested in hosting your own All-In
event to raise awareness about homelessness and ask people to take the
pledge, please contact us at nlchp@nlchp.org, or (202) 638-2535.
The Logo
The All-In logo symbolizes
parity and the fight against homelessness. It's made up of four
red bricks: two on their side to represent
equality and two upright to represent stability. Together, they
form a small structure signifying solidarity and strength in our fight to
ensure the human right to housing for all Americans. The logo also forms
an "H," in recognition of the homeless Americans who
will be served through this campaign.
The Bottom Line Together, we are committed to ending homelessness in America, and realize that we are all human, we are all fighting poverty, and we are: All-In to End Homelessness!
