InReach Wins 2019 Foursquare For Good Challenge!
The work that AsylumConnect (now Inreach) is doing for the LGBTQ+ community is more important now in 2019 than ever before. I am beyond proud to support them in their mission of providing access to care and resources for LGBTQ+ asylum seekers, and that our technology is going to play even a small role in helping them improve the lives of their community of users.
