REAL billionaire (john paul dejoria) helps homeless

(this weekend, I caught a few minutes of a profile on johnpaul dejoria, who went from homeless to billionaire, and is using at least some of his wealth for good, including housing the homeless)

Community First! Village

Community First! Village is a 27-acre master planned community that provides affordable, permanent housing and a supportive community for the disabled, chronically homeless in Central Texas. A development of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, this transformative residential program exists to love and serve our neighbors who have been living on the streets, while also empowering the surrounding community into a lifestyle of service with the homeless.

in this oh-so-red community, is that we need HOUSING, not criminalization. 600 agencies in this state deal with the homeless, and yet, not one of them is actually providing HOUSING.

with their money and connections in this world, yet what they do with their money and connections is steal and lie and cause human suffering every chance they get.

It makes me really angry but I cant do anything on my own, what we SHOULD be doing right now is 35 million of us should be in the streets SCARING the LIVING shit out of these traitors, but we arent.

Maybe this weekend?
