Meet Mark, one of the over 8,000 homeless people in Oakland, CA Nov 7 2013

The problem of homelessness is something I see almost every day living here in the Bay Area.  I think one of the worst things we can do to other human beings is to not see them as fellow human beings.  Meet Mark, one of the over 8,000 homeless people living in Oakland.

The next homeless person you see, maybe try talking with them and really see them as a human being.  Give them some respect, and dignity, along with that granola bar, banana or cash.

What kind of society do you want to live in, and what role do you, individually, have to play in its creation?
