There is plenty of housing. We can easily house everybody.No one should be abandoned to the streets to die. This criminal system has to go and in its place a cooperative society must be built where all human needs will be met whether one has money or not. On these pages are voices of the homeless and their supporters as they struggle for their rights and a new world. The People’s Tribune prints your stories. Donate. Order papers.
