Homeless activist Ted Hayes told residents of the city’s urban campground to keep their “heads held high.” At a rally that included bands performing for the camp’s 600 homeless residents, Hayes, who heads an activist group called Justiceville, said, “We get a little complacent and forget that we have rights.” Hayes is seeking alternatives to city- and state-sponsored assistance with such programs as employing homeless labor to manufacture geodesic domes.
