Occupy Philadelphia And The Homeless

As I wrote to my friend Barbara, prior to OccupyPhiladelphia I had no experiences in direct contact with homlessness...at the occupation you get to meet homeless people, learn their stories and become their friends. Yes, many of them have mental health issues, but not all - some are just poor. They are by and large good people who have fallen through the cracks in our warped political and economic system, many of them victims of economic oppression.
