SUMMARY:When We Walk By Book Discussion Series
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a series of thoughtful discussions on homelessness 
 and our society's response to it.  In collaboration with the College Street 
 Congregational Church.  We will be discussing the book When We Walk By by 
 Kevin Adler and David Burnes on September 3\, 17\, 24 and October 
 1st.\n\nSpace is limited.  To obtain a copy of the book\, you must register 
 below.    For more info\, contact Barbara at 
 bshatara@burlingtonvt.gpv\n\nAbout the Book:\n\nWhen We Walk By takes an 
 urgent look at homelessness in America\, showing us what we lose—in 
 ourselves and as a society—when we choose to walk past and ignore our 
 neighbors in shelters\, insecure housing\, or on the streets. And it 
 brilliantly shows what we stand to gain when we embrace our humanity and 
 move toward evidence-based people-first\, community-driven solutions\, 
 offering social analysis\, economic and political histories\, and the real 
 stories of unhoused people.\n\nAuthors Kevin F. Adler and Donald W. 
 Burnes\, with Amanda Banh and Andrijana Bilbija\, recast chronic 
 homelessness in the U.S. as a byproduct of twin crises: our social services 
 systems are failing\, and so is our humanity. Readers will learn:\n 
 \n\n\n	Why our brains have been trained to overlook our unhoused 
 neighbors\n	The social\, economic\, and political forces that shape myths 
 like “all homeless people are addicts” and “they’d have a house if 
 they got a job”\n	What conservative economics gets wrong about housing 
 insecurity\n	What relational poverty is\, and how to shift away from “us 
 versus them” thinking\n	That for many Americans\, housing insecurity is 
 just one missed paycheck away\n	Who “the homeless” really are—and why 
 that might surprise you\n	What you can do to help\, starting today\n\n\n\nA 
 necessary\, deeply humanizing read that goes beyond theory and policy 
 analysis to offer engaged solutions with compassion and heart\, When We 
 Walk By is a must-read for anyone who cares about homelessness\, housing 
 solutions\, and their own humanity.
