voice their concern about the severe lack of affordable, accessible housing.
They pitched a tent city outside of H.U.D. headquarters for three nights. They
marched to the Senate offices, encountering Senator Selby of Alabama and were
arrested. They caravaned to the headquarters of candidate Senator John McCain
to question why he was not supporting housing legistion related to the above
