The Kensington Welfare Rights Union participated in a forum called Towards the Urban Way today, organized by the International Alliance of Inhabitants, an international movement for the human right to housing. Tara Colon, KWRU leader, provided the audience with testimony about being a homeless youth and a homeless mother in the United States, alongside representatives from Italy, France, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Phillipines, Brazil, Mexico and others, who all spoke of the new conditions of poverty and homelessness in unexpected urban, developed centers of their countries.
