A lot of our 'process' is dominated by wealthy people who benefit from the status quo (or think they do). I wrote up this housing hearing I went to, and I wish more people could experience something like it to understand the problem:

You're truly doing the lord's work, as they used to say. I think one of the main struggles we have is awareness for movement work and rarely do people blog about their experiences in a public way. If most people actually advocated like you did, we'd live in a much better world.
