Street Sights

Check out this article by the amazing Adrienne on Street Sights, a monthly publication about issues in the homeless community of Providence. The cool thing about this paper is that the vast majority of contributers are homeless themselves - giving them a place to let their voices be heard. It also serves as a forum for discussion and a way for the community to organize. I find it really inspiring that a publication like this can exist - it seems like such a productive way to bring together and support a community that is often alienated, to say the least.

Speaking of inspiration, thanks to everyone who voted for my friend's project - ImMEDIAte Justice won the $10,000 grant!! I'm so proud of them and excited for the amazing work they're going to be able to do.

The distinguished Adrienne Langlois on Obama's brand of humor and why it's good for America.

On a personal note, I wish I could write like she does...
