Tuesday: History Of Homeless Organizing With Willie Baptist ➔ Wednesday: Poetry Writing Workshop ➔ Friday: Picture The Homeless Winter Festival Celebration & Potluck. Refreshments and Metrocards provided.

Join Picture the Homeless at its annual Interfaith Memorial Service for our homeless brothers and sisters who have passed away this year- some whose names we know, many whose names we don’t—but none are forgotten. Refreshments and fellowship will follow the service.

Dear friends and supporters,

Occupy Wall Street has highlighted the long term issues of economic injustice that many communities have been affected by, and organizing to change, for many years. The struggles of homeless folks are the result of the fall-out of our economic system: homeless people are part of the 99%.

This Monday, come support an important event benefiting some of our favoritest allies!

Be a Solidarity Member of Picture the Homeless! Our amazing allies help us out in all sorts of ways, and we wouldn't be where we are today without you. And while membership at Picture the Homeless is only open to homeless and formerly homeless people, we're creating another way for our non-homeless friends and family to be involved in our work. We hope that you will join us as a Solidarity member of Picture the Homeless!

Don’t have a phone? Not having a phone number preventing you from connecting and planning with others? No problem! Come to this FREE training to set up a free phone that you can access online!

Join PTH for training on how to effectively present yourself and your story to the media. In this workshop we will also be focusing on the skills to keep your audience’s attention on you during a public presentation.

PTH's Homeless Organizing Academy is a weekly series of FREE trainings, open to all homeless and formerly-homeless people, designed for them to get the skills and experience they'll need to fight for justice—and pursue employment as community organizers! Classes are taught by Picture the Homeless staff and PTH members, and guest instructors with expertise and experience in each topic. Everyone is welcomed regardless of experience! Call 646-314-6423 for more details.
