About Real Change:
For 29 years, Real Change has been a leader in providing jobs and anti-poverty advocacy for unhoused and low-income people, uplifting the voices of those historically marginalized, ignored or silenced.
Our journalism speaks to the issues that directly affect those with lived experience and challenges mainstream media’s harmful narrative of poverty as something to be criminalized or feared.
Help us make our vision of a city where ALL of our neighbors can thrive a reality by showing up. That’s what good neighbors do!
Parking & Accessibility:
Parking is limited but there is ample free street parking nearby.
Washington Hall is ADA compliant and wheelchair accessible, but please note that the ballroom is on the second floor and to get to the elevator, you must enter the venue from the parking lot located on the north side of the building.
Look for the ramp that leads to the white double doors. Take the elevator to floor 2A (Ballroom). A Real Change representative will greet you when you arrive.
