In Britain the centrally prescribed welfare to work system short-changes the young unemployed. Transport housing and education are over centralised.

Racism cannot be cured solely by attacking some of the results it produces like discrimination in housing or in education.

Unless children have strong education and strong families and strong communities and decent housing it's not enough to go sit in at a lunch counter.

Let's not leave an educational vacuum to be filled by religious extremists who go to families who have no other option and offer meals housing and some form of education. If we are going to combat extremism then we must educate those very same children.

We should concentrate our work not only to a separated housing problem but housing involved in our daily work and all the other functions of the city.

Housing Works is the coolest thrift store in the world because not only are they the best thrift store - they're not the most thrifty thrift store - but they have amazing stuff and all of their proceeds go directly to kids mostly homeless kids living with AIDS and HIV in New York in the metropolitan area.
