in Real Talk
Homelessness In America

Due to decades of misguided and faulty policies, homelessness is a serious problem. Over half a million people go homeless on a single night in the United States. Approximately 65 percent are found in homeless shelters, and the other 35 percent—just under 200,000—are found unsheltered on our streets (in places not intended for human habitation, such as sidewalks, parks, cars, or abandoned buildings).

in Real Talk

I am Sadie Luke, and I was born and raised in Sacramento.  I have been actively protesting for various issue since I was 18 years old but it wasn’t until January 2017 when all of my career, academic and personal goals shifted and my entire life became about activism.

Just The Tip

in Real Talk

For Years we’ve been fighting this disease this virus which we call, “H.I.V”. Which is killing most of our, L.G.B.T Community. If it’s not from the hands from gay bashing or malicious heterosexuals.
