They were both powerful speakers but especially the young woman.........the image of sleeping, by choice, on cardboard, next to someone who had not chosen that resting place brought me to tears. There is so much abundance in this country and yet we accept poverty rather than question it. Those that say some choose to be poor and unemployed never ask why? Perhaps there is a small number of people that make that choice for a number of reasons but most homeless and destitute you speak to tell you they want to be working, carrying their own weight, contributing. And what do the 1% do? They raise banking fees and open more bottles of champagne. It is time for a revolution in this country against the 1%. It can begin with protests and petitions but eventually it is going to require more.
