Spending long hours outside, often in areas with little shade and poor air quality, makes the summer months especially brutal. Stay tuned this month to learn how you can support our unhoused community during the summer👀. • • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #equity #summerheat #climatejustice #inclusion #socialjustice

Navigating housing insecurity with a disability can be incredibly daunting. Homelessness can make it difficult to access necessary medical care, mobility aids, and safe spaces. The Disability Justice movement relies on community support. It's time to practice empathy and understanding to ensure that people living with disabilities have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. 🤝💙 • • • • #breaktimeboston #nonprofit #empowerment #homelessness #advocacy #community #equity #disabilityawareness #inclusion #socialjustice #support
