This young woman is one of an uncounted number of young people who find themselves without a future in America. More and more of our youth find themselves on the streets, left by a
system of economic inequality to fend for themselves. Many gather together for mutual support and protection, often moving from town to town.
A new generation of poor youth is inheriting a world in trouble and a system that can’t give them a future.

These young people, full of life and creativity, help us envision and organize for a new society.
