Un intervista del 2004 a Valerio Marchi – sociologo e prezioso storico dei movimenti giovanili scomparso nel 2006 – sui cambiamenti in atto all’interno del mondo del calcio e degli Ultrà in Italia. Una riflessione sulle trasformazioni avvenute nel mondo del calcio sia economiche, legate ai processi di globalizzazione, ma anche politiche e culturali. Cambiamenti che il movimento Ultras ha attraversato da protagonista (nel bene e nel male), rimodulando prima se stesso e poi il modo di essere tifosi nel ventunesimo secolo, in uno scenario segnato da contraddizioni e interrogativi tuttora attualissimi.Un intervista del 2004 a Valerio Marchi – sociologo e prezioso storico dei... more

For 23 years, Rashid worked in New York City as a construction worker. On 9/11, he arrived at the World Trade Center at 9:28 in the morning and - for the next four years - worked to clean up the horrific destruction at Ground Zero.
Today, as a result of his service, he suffers chronic heart failure and other health issues. He lost his health, his job, and his ability to pay rent. Today, Rashid lives in a homeless shelter.
Despite his tragic story, Rashid was one of the nicest people I met in New York. He went out of his way to encourage everyone around him.
This is how he chooses to live; he said a little bit of kindness can go a long way.
Rashid had three wishes: food, clothing, and shelter.
Seems we should not have to wish for things so basic.

Times Square is unlike any other place in the United States. Lights, traffic, noise, masses of people. But in the midst of all this commotion, I spotted a man pushing a buggy. [http://homelessness.change.org/blog/view/on_shopping_carts_thanksgiving_and_homelessness] That's when I met Guy.
Guy says homelessness is hard to explain. One day he was doing fine. The next, tragedy struck and he was on the streets.
The streets, Guy said, are not kind to those without a home. He said the police in New York arrest people just for sleeping. His goal is to “get inside” before homelessness gets worse.

There are many times that I'll meet a person on the street who says that they prefer the streets, insisting they are there by choice. Usually, though, I can see the look in their eye; I can tell they don’t mean it. I believe it’s a defense mechanism to rationalize the trauma one goes through when they don't have a home.
But that's not to say this is true for everyone. There are those rare - and yes, I believe they're rare - occasions when I'll meet someone who is on the streets by choice. Elijah Alfred Alexander, Jr. falls into this latter category. He goes by "Nature Boy" and says he is not homeless, just ‘houseless.’
Elijah says he was a Baptist preacher in the 1970s. He said that since Jesus was a wandering messenger, he decided to become a wanderer. And wander he does. I met him across the street from the White House in Washington, D.C.. I still laugh because despite his skimpy attire, he still carries business cards with his personal website. [http://prop1.org/protest/elijah/nature.htm]
Mental illness? Or just following his heart? Either way, I like to think that Elijah is truly a unique guy who has decided to follow a different path.

Harold is one of over 12,000 individuals living in our nation's capital without a home. I met him in Lafayette Square, a park located directly across the street from Obama's government subsidized cushy home, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
When Harold was released from prison, he moved in with his grandmother. She passed away and he had no place to go. He ended up on the streets.
I asked Harold what his future looked like. All he said was, "I have got to find a job

"Brutal and senseless."
This is how Cotton describes homelessness. It might just be the most succinct and heart-breakingly accurate explanation I've heard in a long time.
Cotton is homeless and disabled. She lives in a tent in Greensboro, NC. If that's not bad enough, she has been living this way for over 16 years.
This raw and unedited story makes one thing crystal clear: living on the streets is horrible. Cotton is the real face of homelessness; the face that we need to see and hear and see and hear and see and hear until something changes. From this raw and gritty story, I hope you can find the the will to act. The will to get involved in the fight to make poverty and homelessness unacceptable.
I hope this story inspires you to do something.

Three months ago, Yong lost everything - including her house and all of her possessions - in a fire. To make matters worse, she did not receive the insurance money she needed to survive. She ended up homeless.
Yong's recollection of her first night homeless in Greensboro, North Carolina broke my heart. She was terrified. Today, Yong holds on the hope that she can soon move out of the woods and return to her life as it was before the fire.
While in Greensboro, I met Michele Forrest [ http://chosenfast.com ] and friend Audrie. They are part of a group that cares for the homeless in their community. They bring food, provide case management, and serve as a liaison to other homeless services in the area, such as the police [http://whrrl.com/experience/story/18340963 ].
Never forget that one person can make a huge difference in their community. Michele has, so can you.
