We’re in the second half of December -- that time when everyone is reflecting on the year. So we thought we’d take a few minutes to talk about some of the most interesting and moving online advocacy campaigns of 2014.

I’m an Advocate: Susan Russell
Following a debilitating car accident, Susan Russell lost her ability to work as a cement mason and eventually lost her home. During six years of homelessness, she was beaten, robbed and raped. In 2013 she was accepted into transitional housing. Even as she recovers from the traumas she experienced on the streets, Susan is a strong voice in the movement to end homelessness.
I’m an Advocate: Willie Jones
The state legislative session is just around the corner, and this year we're all going to need to step up and advocate tenaciously for policies that will help end homelessness. To inspire you, we're continuing to share interviews with amazing, passionate advocates. Today we're delighted to feature Willie Jones.
Firesteel Makes It on Cable News!
Firesteel is invited to talk about homelessness on cable news show TakePart Live. Erin emphasizes that families and children are greatly impacted by homelessness.
I’m an Advocate: August Mallory
This Veterans Day, we thank members of the armed forces for their service. We also recognize that too many of these brave men and women experience homelessness when they leave the service. Today we hear from August Mallory, who served in the US Navy for 10 years, and later slept on the streets after the warehouse where he worked closed.
