Band-Aids Rather Than Surgery
Welcome to Street Roots Radio. This is an XRAY.FM collaboration with Portland Local Publication Street Roots. Street Roots publishes a weekly social justice newspaper sold by people experiencing homelessness and poverty to earn an income.
Today we are discussing a recent article from new Street Roots Snowden Intern, Mikayla Mesko, about her article, “Band-Aids Rather Than Surgery: Officials point to shelters as a step toward reducing homelessness, but fail to consider the numerous factors pushing people away.”
To get a physical copy of the issue released each Wednesday, locate your nearest vendor here or read more online at streetroots.org.
