Empty houses for blocks
by Kyle Morehead—Missouri
Last Friday as I was canvassing in Independence, Missouri I came across two blocks that were essentially empty. It seemed that house after house was in foreclosure or just empty. When we did make contact with a resident the majority were unemployed or scared of losing their jobs. The economic situation is dire. What we do is more than going door to door to talk about health care. We are witness to the current reality of American life.
Our job is to remind the folks that there are people like us that want to help. And, that justice still means something to us. We must share the passion with the folks.
