@invisiblepeopletv: Homeless veteran doesn’t have the money to pay for campaign fines. Jerry is a homeless veteran on the streets of Denver. He shares about the actual realities of life on the streets. Jerry has also been ticketed three times by the city of Denver for “urban camping.” Denver, like many cities in America, continues to pass laws that criminalize homeless people for the crime of not being able to afford rent.
 Jerry is a Marine veteran. He says, “I fought for these rights. I fought to be able to choose how I want to live my life if I don’t want to go to a shelter.” Jerry goes on to explain how shelters are either full or horrible places, so he’d rather pitch a tent. Criminalizing homelessness and giving tickets to people who have no other choice but to pitch a tent and sleep outside makes zero sense. Criminalization does nothing to end homelessness and is a complete waste of taxpayer money. #homeless #servicesnotsweeps #homelessveteran #homelesspeople #invisiblepeople
