For 29 years we have fought for those experiencing homelessness. We have fought to get the services that help people get off the street and back into their lives. We have fought the criminalization of those experiencing homelessness as a way to reduce their visibility in our parks and on our sidewalks. We have fought the policies that encourage the demolition of our low-income housing. And, we fight to continue to provide those services.

In our city, where they like their service providers quiet and complacent, we don't "go along to get along." That costs us public money, but we know that the only route to change is through fighting the systems in place and asking the tough questions.

Thanks for watching our videos, please rank them and comment when you want to share your thoughts, and also visit our website.
