WE DECLARED AN EARLY VICTORY BC ONE OF OUR GOALS WAS FOR THE ADVOCATES AND THEIR ADVOCACY GROUPS TO GET MORE INVOLVED LIKE SOME DO. AFTER 8 WEEKS OF BEING ON THE STREETS HANDING OUT OVER 1,200 PETITIONS AND MEETING THE HOMELESS, TALKING WITH THEM, PRAYING IN A 100 PERSON HANDHELD PRAYER CIRCLE LED BY PATRICK MOORE ADMIN. AND ADVOCATE, WE STAND WITH TEAM FRESNO #HOMELESSLIVESMATTER HELPING OUR HOMELESS(the refuge) LISTENING TO THEIR CONCERNS AND JUST HAVING A GREAT TIME GETTING TO KNOW THEM BETTER. WE ARE NOT FRESNO'S MOST WELCOMED BC THERE WAS A LOT OF CONTENTION WE RECEIVED FROM A FEW ADVOCATES. THEY FELT AS THOUGH WE WERE STEPPING ON TOES. WELL, THE HOMELESS CANT WAIT AND WE CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND TEXT, POST, TAGGED, VOICEMAIL TO NO AVAIL. NOW AFTER HARD WORK, ENDLESS HOURS, WE SEE MORE MOVEMENT WITH FRESNO'S ADVOCACY GROUPS. THEY ARE GOING DOWN TO THE HOMELESS AND DOING OUTREACH. WE ARE THE BAD GUYS BC WE PUT A MICROSCOPE ON THEM AND THEY WERENT HAPPY. BUT IT GOT THEM UP AND MOVING LIKE THEY SHOULD BE DOING IF YOU ARE CALLING YOURSELF A HOMELESS ADVOCATE. THE BEST HOMELESS ADVOCACY GROUP. WE SAW HOMELESS IN FRESNO-HIF GROUP AND THE WONDERFUL THINGS THEY DO. THEY DO UNBELIEVABLE WORK AND HAVE MANY, MANY, PROGRAMS AND OUTREACH FOR THE HOMELESS. THEY ARE TRULY AMAZING. SO WITH US RUFFLING FEATHERS MAYBE THE OTHER ADVOCATES CAN USE HOMELESS IN FRESNO-HIF AS AN AWESOME TEAM TO LEARN FROM. THEY ROCK!!!
