Want to learn more about what has worked elsewhere in helping to organize for this community. There are so many non-profits/NGO’s devoted to assisting our unhoused neighbors but so many of them seem largely uneffective/toothless (for many reasons).
Looking to see if there are any good reads out there about lifting up this community. thanks!
I don’t have much in terms of literature, but this post reminded me of the time the IWW helped organize a “panhandlers union” in Ottawa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottawa_Panhandlers’_Union
