77. I think the important part is that the tents in Yosemite are there by *choice*, not desperation.
I certainly agree with the sentiment. Poor people should *also* be able to enjoy the beauty of this country, and live in peace. However, even though it is PUBLIC PROPERTY, we know that people are NOT allowed ot stay there for more than 2 weeks, no matter the need.

I would certainly enjoy being there right now! :hi:

Is there any possiblity in that which might be helpful to the people you serve? I recognize that many would need much more than this, but..... I'm wondering if this benefit of being organized by the people who live there would be a boon to tho you work with. That empowerment.

Its certainly an intriguing idea.
