This Week At The Homeless Organizing Academy!

April 23rd to 27th: This Week At The Homeless Organizing Academy!

By Kendall Jackman, Housing Campaign Leader at Picture the Homeless

[From PTH Member Duwon Bryant, in response to news that the Department of Homeless Services wants to spend a couple thousand dollars paying actors to play homeless people in an ad, when real live homeless people are plenty easy to find....]

Lately, several of our comrades in OWS were getting arrested for sleeping in Union Square, even though they weren't breaking any laws.

WHEN:           9:00AM on Monday, April 16, 2012

WHERE:         Bronx Hall of Justice, 265 East 161^st Street, Bronx, NY - Part M4, 5^th Floor, Room 540.

Picture the Homeless does lots of sleep-out protests. And of course, the cops are usually not happy to see us. But they've NEVER arrested a single one of us for sleeping on the sidewalk.
