We recently got a comment by a person in Greenville, South Carolina, asking us if there is a way, without mentioning his or her contact information, that we can network for activism.
To quote part of this person's message, " I live in Greenville, SC and the mayor, all leadership, even the top players of service organizations are doing all that they can to kick the homeless out of the city. It is sad and disappointing and I just wanted to reach out for help or suggestions, because this seems like an awesome blog and perhaps there's something that we haven't tried yet..."
So we have some suggestions: First of all WHY NOT BLOG OUT OF GREENVILLE? WHY NOT GET AN E- MAIL ADDRESS THAT YOU DON'T MIND EXPOSING ON THE NET that you can use only for this cause? (Yahoo offers disposable addresses as well.) Search also for CIVIL RIGHTS lawyers in your area. CONTACTING THE ACLU might be helpful. They like class action lawsuits but may have some referrals.
We know that most homeless people are unable to do this, but we also suggest taking notes, keeping a diary, of your experiences. If you have to, send yourself e-mails. We find that there are many powerful agencies that are part of the problem. Please contact us again, use this post, to let us know how it's going. We'll be glad to link to your blog, website, or other information, that may bring local people to your cause!
NOTE! IF ANY OF YOU READERS KNOW OF ANY CONNECTIONS FOR GREENVILLE, PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT!
