We're all closer to the street than we'd like to be. We can each be part of the solution, too.

Homelessness affects all of us, whether we’re housed or living on the street. Which means we all have a role to play in ending it. My essay here: open.substack.com/pub/iancoope...

💔 I’m Nour, 21, from Gaza. War forced me from my home, and I now live alone in a tent, struggling for food, water, and safety.
As a lesbian, I face constant fear and rejection. I need your help to survive and find a safe, dignified life.
Every donation or share gives me hope:

We are drowning again and again
It will be a harsh, long, bitterly cold winter.
And between every storm and the next… another massacre, new displacement, lethal suffering, and bleeding grief.
If you have any spare i beg you i’am in dire need to evacuate 😣

I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.

If you can, please pick one of the hundreds of fundraisers set up by people in Gaza and make a Thanksgiving donation. People have largely stopped giving since the ceasefire began, but Israel continues to block badly needed aid from entering Gaza.
