Street Roots Director Israel Bayer will be writing a weekly column/blog for the End Homelessness blog at Change.org about Street Roots and the street newspaper movement. The column will highlight news and vendor voices that are having a social and political impact in communities around the world, including Portland.
About Change.org: Today as citizens of the world, we face a daunting array of social and environmental problems ranging from health care and education to global warming and economic inequality. For each of these issues, whether local or global in scope, there are millions of people who care passionately about working for change but lack the information and opportunities necessary to translate their interest into effective action.
Change.org aims to address this need by serving as the central platform informing and empowering movements for social change around the most important issues of our time.
