Show Me No Hate is helping organize ride share travel accommodations for anyone who wants to attend the Unite + Fight: Equality Across America Midwest Conference, in Chicago March 12-14.
Ride sharing is a wonderful way to help fill empty car seats for those already attending the conference or for those contemplating attending. Everyone sharing rides must agree to help cover gas expenses for the round trip weekend.
This is an excellent way to get to the Chicago LGBT conference on a budget and make some new friends along the way.
Check out the Ride Share form and tell us how you can help.
