Act! Speak! Build! Month is a month-long advocacy campaign from Ithaca College Habitat for Humanity. We aim to heighten awareness about homelessness, affordable housing issues, and how organizations like Habitat can help. Our advocacy is about addressing the policies, systems and attitudes in place that maintain the prevalence of substandard housing in the United States and beyond. Come join us for five great events!
