Street Roots and Change.org are teaming up to cover the up and coming homelessness and housing action in San Francisco.
Starting Monday, Street Roots will be posting day-to-day activities of the trip down to San Fran from Portland organized by Sisters Of The Road and the Western Regional Advocacy Project. At the end of each day, Change.org will be posting a overview of the day's events.
We will also be highlighting the action itself and other community organizations involved from around the West Coast.
Locally, the Willamette Week has covered the action and we're expecting to receive more press both locally and nationally— which will be highlighted on the Street Roots and Change.org blog.
What's unique about this event is that organizations have managed to organize hundreds, possibly more than a 1,00o individuals experiencing homelessness to travel to San Francisco— not small feat on the homeless front.
In the meantime, check out the Change.org post for videos from the from the Los Angeles Community Action Network that will be attending the demonstration to demand change.
Change.org is also setting up a web page for organizations and individuals from around the globe to sign on to the action. It will be available shortly.
