The New Face of America: Inside the Second Great Depression

With 43 million people living below the poverty line – double the rate of fifty years ago – the U.S. faces a socioeconomic tipping point. From the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles to the systemic food insecurity of the Appalachian mining regions, we uncover the lives of 1.5 million homeless children, a figure now triple that of the Great Depression. Witness the stories of displaced families surviving on unstable gig work and the community-led efforts, like tiny house villages, providing a last line of defense against the streets.

Failing to witness is of course also an option.

Declining to quit your job and build shacks like Punk Elvis does; that too.

Or you could share funny memes about the lie that all these things are all Trump’s fault, and declare all the homeless to be lazy addicts or head cases or worse.

Including those incidental million and a half children.
