As the election results bring in a new chapter for our country, we recognize the widespread concerns within our community, particularly for our neighbors who are LGBTQ+, asylum seekers, refugees, and immigrants. Leadership changes often mean policy shifts that can affect basic needs—from health care to housing, employment, education, and immigration support—which deeply impact the low-income and marginalized communities we serve daily.

At One Degree, we stand firm in our mission to support all families facing systemic barriers, including LGBTQ+ individuals and families with mixed immigration status, who often encounter unique challenges in seeking safe and equitable resources. The uncertainty around future policies affects real people, and this is the kind of uncertainty that strengthens our commitment to bridge these gaps and be a consistent resource in turbulent times.

We are here to help. Together, we’ll stand against intolerance and continue to provide a platform where everyone can access the vital social services and benefits they need to thrive, regardless of identity, status, or background.
