We
started the day with an educational on the importance of organizing
and documentation and their relationship to building a movement
to end poverty.
Joining our Mobile Bushville today was Katherine, Glen and Joe
from the organization "People to End Homelessness"
from Providence, Rhode Island.
At
10:30 we broke into three organizing teams and targeted three
different groups. Cheri and Reo's group talked with church groups.
Karla and Galen's group went door to door in the O'Donnell Dempsey
Tower and Housing Project. Charles and Nina's group targeted
community groups. All the groups registered and educated voters
and collected Faces of the Fallen documentation.
After
breaking for lunch we spent the afternoon canvasing downtown
at the medical centers and more housing projects; documenting
violations of human rights and adding to the roles of the
Faces of the Fallen. After a discussion and reflection on
our day's work we joined the Bible Camp of Mt. Teman AME Church
for dinner.
That
evening we were hosted by Sister Margaret of Bread of Heaven
outreach center. Sister Margaret stayed with us through the
night cooked us our first hot meal in three days for breakfast.
Thank
you to both churches.
