Afternoon Breakout Session 5 - Direct Action and Self-Advocacy
Description:
Session Description
Homelessness is a violation of human rights. People facing homelessness are standing up for their rights by speaking out. How can we organize and sustain action against homelessness led by and with people who have lived it? Participants discussed self‐advocacy and creative ways to get issues into the media and out to people. Session attendees expressed interest in sharing ideas about how to work together.
