\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nThe Super Bowl is coming to Los Angeles in a few weeks. Police, Caltrans, and sanitation have picked up the frequency of their already aggressive homeless sweeps. It’s as if housed people are the victims having to look at homeless people when homeless people are the real victims.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDawn texted me that she was displaced from a homeless sweep and now lives on a sidewalk under a Los Angeles freeway. Homeless people are in a constant state of fear, never knowing when the sweeps will come to take all of their stuff. For example, in the area where we recorded this interview, the sweep was posted for 9 am, yet sheriffs and Caltrans showed up at 4:30 am. Homeless people cannot quickly move their belongings, so this sweep coming early without notice resulted in panic, trauma, and more loss of belongings.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nDawn is a fighter and a survivor. She has been through a lot. Dawn looks great. You would not even know she has lived on the streets of Los Angeles homeless for over three years. But homelessness is dangerous. Dawn or no one should be living without adequate housing.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nYour voice can help end homelessness. If we do not fix the affordable housing crisis, homelessness will continue to get worse.
