This moving and engrossing video is from an Al Jazeera segment called "Homeless Hero". It explores the activism of Cheri Honkala, a single mother and former homeless person herself, who has fought passionately in defense of homeless Americans, who are routinely abused by authorities and/or the system itself. It's a powerful and important story of the millions of forgotten Americans who are bound to be overlooked in the Super Tuesday hoopla. Check out the video to your right for more.
Go watch the video. Cheri Honkala has gone to jail for this over 200 times! Don't forget almost half of the homeless people are homeless veterans. We need to take care of all our homeless and she is fighting for all of them. To be homeless in this nation is wrong.
