Description

Celebrate a year of victories and hard work with us at our annual Ugly Sweater Mixer! Because of Dignity Defenders like you, we made great strides in our mission of advancing basic dignity to people experiencing homelessness through numerous advocacy efforts and reopening of our programs, so we want to celebrate this year of victories and hard work with you at our annual Ugly Sweater Mixer! Wear your ugliest holiday sweater and enjoy great drinks, great food, and great company with us and other Dignity Defenders! Think Dignity provides a way for citizens like you to become hands-on change agents in San Diego. Our strength lies in our collaborative, volunteer-based model. Each of us doing our small part makes a big difference, and working together can make the world a better place. We mobilize our community partners and volunteers to accomplish our collective goals. Our success story is not grandiose, but comes from small steps taken every day. We call this micro-activism at its finest. The model is simple:  We hold monthly open forums at the Basic Dignity Coalition  to discuss issues impacting our community. Upon identifying the issue, we gather information and conduct on-the-ground research. From there, we craft community-based solutions to the challenge, including coalition building, organizing, and advocacy. Our mission is to inspire, empower, and organize our communities to advance basic dignity for those experiencing homelessness, and our efforts result in meaningful change here in San Diego, such as the expansion and growth of the Transitional Storage Center and launch of our Mobile Operations of Dignity (MOD) Squad programs.
