"I'm not out here because this is my lifestyle, I don't have anywhere else to go." ~ Robert
Nearly three years ago I took a big risk and drove up to Sacramento to help empower our homeless friends after watching the circus created by Oprah. At the time, I was nineteen months unemployed. InvisiblePeople.tv just started, and driving around with a camera seemed like a dumb idea. But I took the last little bit of money I had and headed north.
Also around three years ago, homeless activists in Sacramento started a campaign to acquire "safe ground" for tent city campers to call home. It's been a battle, but our friends at Safe Ground have won a few court cases and they continue to fight for homeless people in Sacramento.
Today I visited Safe Ground and was walking around meeting new friends. Over the hill a man was watching us. Robert walked down the hill and asked to be interviewed. I am so honored he did.
Please watch and listen to Robert's story. It's very powerful and shows the pain and frustration these gorgeous people have to face every day.
