The homeless population is not so large that this social crisis could not be ended in our lifetime. We need to make incremental and expanding investments in supportive housing and other evidence-based service interventions to ensure that no family, adult, or youth is without a safe housing option.

I wrote about my experience in a short pamphlet, "I Was Arrested at Occupy Denver: A Brief Narrative and an Anarchist's Perspective": http://mretc.net/~cris/arrested-O14/ My trial stemming from the charges is set for April 30th. I'll update the above link with any developments.
