BUY OUR BOOK OR DVD
We created this book, in special collaboration with Vanderbilt Human Rights & the Arts, so that you, the broader public, many who have never been homeless, can understand that like you, we have lives and histories, which have brought us to where we are today. We are filled with love, anger, sadness, and joy and each of us is different with our own story to tell. We hope that the reading of this book encourages you to build relationships and understand people who are homeless. Once you build a thoughtful and caring relationship, we are clear that you will join with us in our struggle to re-FORM the systems that create and perpetuate the state of homelessness.

Whoever said you can’t fight city hall hasn’t met the Nashville Homeless Power Project. In March 2007, 150 homeless, students, ministers and others decided to camp out in front of city hall, to demonstrate the human need for the city to follow through on its own plan to build 200 affordable housing units that year. It became the largest homeless demonstration in Nashville’s History. 150 homeless camped out, 16 were arrested, 50 chanted in welcome the next morning to “let our people go!” after the arrests were ruled unconstitutional and thrown out by the judge. Several homeless leaders from the Power Project guided a 4 mayoral candidates on ˜The Urban Plunge” spending the night on the streets. National Spokesperson of the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign, Cheri Honkala, participated bringing award winning independent Big Noise Films who produced this 20 minute documentary film short.
