Draw the line on homelessness folks

Latest


 
STOCKTON, CA — Try walking your talk or get the … outta our way. We’re being beat down daily out here.
Not all of us are addicts. Most are vets and disabled. There’s a staggering amount of them here in Stockton, CA. The shelters and Gospel mission turning families with small children away, making money off us selling soda and coffee and bottled water. San Joaquin County crisis system is a joke.

Make your choice fast. People are suffering.
I’m tired of this shit … this isn’t living. It’s surviving a constant nightmare. And a well organized one at that.
