Homelessness in the Age of Foreclosures

Cheri Honkala talk at The College at Brockport

Homelessness in the Age of Foreclosures

Cheri Honkala, the National Organizer of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, will describe how the current US economic collapse has created new homeless individuals, what poor people are doing around the country to fight back against their invisibility, and how students can join the movement to end poverty.

Cheri Honkala is a former welfare recipient and homeless single mother who has been on the front lines of the poverty struggle for more than 20 years. She is a housing rights activist and an anti poverty organizer. She has been a leader of countless demonstrations against domestic policies that maintain homelessness and poverty.
