Dear Friends,
I coordinate the homeless and housing desk on the People’s Tribune editorial board. I hope you will donate, subscribe and keep abreast of the fight to end poverty in America. We ask why, if there are six empty houses for every homeless person in this country, are we debating about shelters and whether people should be allowed to be in tents or ‘tiny houses’ or sheds, live in cars, sit on the sidewalk, etc.? House people now! The housing is there! What did you say? That it’s capitalism and corporate bottom lines, private property and the profit motive? If that’s what is standing in the way of taking care of everyone’s basic needs and ending this mass suffering, then time to change it up! Send us your stories. We are a voice for this budding movement. Send $5 for a trial 3-month subscription or $20 for the year. Go to peoplestribune.org and donate via paypal or send check to PT, PO Box 3524, Chicago, IL 60654-3524. — Sarah Menefee
