Tent City

In the last class we went out to talk to the people who were participating in Tent City.  We talked to the two people who are high up in the Social Justice League, Nicole Sauber and Kayla Harvey.  They told us that they do Tent City to raise awareness about homelessness and possible figure out solutions to it.  This event takes plase outside of the RCC and it's where people sleep in tents for 5 nights and basically go on with there day like a homeless person.  When talking to Nicole, she said that the event is getting bigger and bigger each year and this year they have at least 25 participants.  The Social Justice League brings in speakers every year to talk about homelessness in hopes everyone will join them and listen to what they have to say.  Hearing what Nicole and Kayla had to say really put it into perpective for me and really taught me how important this issue is and how many people are left homeless.
