Join HOME as we celebrate the 55th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act, which prohibits housing discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), disability, and family status.
This year, we will provide lunch and host a panel discussion with speakers from CAIR Ohio, AJC Cincinnati, and the Hindu Temple of Greater Cincinnati to highlight religious discrimination issues.
We will also recognize the Charles Judd Founder’s Award recipient, who is a grassroots social justice advocate who works to build and advocate for inclusive, integrated, and stable communities.
Parking is free at the United Way headquarters.
There is no charge to attend, however, registration is required.
The deadline for registration is 5 p.m. Thursday, April 13
