#36 Human Conflicts and Civic Betrayals

Joy Gilfilen, Host of IChange Justice podcast interviews Markis Dee about his extraordinary work since 2017 as a homeless advocate and founder of S.O.S. Serenity Outreach Services. He works on the front line helping provide direct services to civic refugees - people living in life crisis, acute survival and emergency conditions.

Markis talks about his own lived experience of growing up at 14 in deep poverty; how challenges of extreme weather events can cause people to crack, go into depression, hopelessness, despair, shame, anger, and more as people become desperate to survive - without support. As an officially designated member of the Homeless Strategies Work Group he learned more about political and corporate conflicts...and how this escalates taxpayers costs...when they could mitigate them instead.
