Affordable Housing Rally

Wednesday I Met Benn at MNN and went down to this place on tenth Ave where I had seen a sign for this housing rally. Benn had to go to work, so I joined up with the Westside affordable housing advocates and we all went down to 14th street where there were thousands of poeple all supporting the idea that people have a right to affordable housing. I love that here and in San Franscisco communities have taken control of their local governments and enacted laws that benefit average citizens rather than for profit businesses and landowners.

WSTM (Women's Shelter: The Musical)

The past year has been unusually strange. have been staying with friends and in DHS shelters. Trying to salvage my possessions and live without an apartment or paycheck.I have met so many people. I have a hard time remembering people's names. Everyone looks like someone I have met or seen in film or on television. The gym has become my home. I spend a lot more time on trains and out of doors, in coffee shops, parks and movie theaters. Recently, I started volunteering at Theater for the New City People at All Souls and Coalition for the Homeless and the YMCA have been very helpful. The shelter I am staying at now is much better than the previous shelter, which was much better than the one before that. I am now able to sleep at night and not worried about people stealing my things or assulting me. It is much safer, cleaner, and calmer. Now I hope continue putting my life in order.
