Give out socks, hot hands and cash
These people are gonna freeze to death all winter and never make it on the news because who gives a fuck about another bumsicle

I think using the term bumsicle takes a lot of steam out of your argument.

There's no argument to this
Homeless people freeze to death in the winter.

Its more you can say what happens without being dehumanizing. These are people at real risk of a painful death, maybe try to pretend theyre human beings and not "bums"

Also give a call to McKees office. And donate to the groups listed in the article. Make enough noise so the elected officials have to pay attention.

The John brown club takes donations of cash and other things and distributes it to folks once a week. They go out to KP and burnside and try to give people hot hands, food, and information on services.
