Nowhere

Debunking Myths of Homelessness


Listen Later

This episode looks at national news around homelessness, from Oklahoma’s sweeps led by the state to the mass shooting at a Minneapolis homeless encampment. I also talk about other violence that I have heard of while doing outreach locally.

In this episode I analyze this news and how it is portrayed and debunk claims that I often hear in person and that are perpetuated nation-wide from media and politicians on both sides of the aisle; like the idea that people choose to be homeless, and that they don’t want help.

I also look at ideas in America that people need to somehow earn their right to exist, that it is our job to judge whether they are worthy of basic human rights, along with looking into US media’s portrayal of homelessness and total lack of any analysis that looks at systemic issues, always putting the impetus on the individuals.
