"A DYNAMIC, DRAMATIC, AND DIPLOMATICALLY DEVASTATING DELIVERER OF DETAILED INFORMATION PERTAINING TO HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS OF THE STREETS OF WASHINGTON, DC." CHECK AND CHIME IN AT LEAST WEEKLY AS ERIC WILL ENLIGHTEN, EMPOWER,ENGAGE, ENRAGE, ENTERTAIN, AND EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE HOMELESS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF HOMELESS - MR. ERIC SHEPTOCK.
Having expereinced homelessness himself, Eric Sheptock is a devoted and active advocate for the homeless by raising awareness through his blogg On the Clock with Eric Sheptock. Sheptock covers topics that range from gentrification, dirty politics, shelter closings, to human rights and job opportunites.
His most recent blogg calls attention to the preventable death of a woman, whom he names Jane doughless (to protect her identity) expereincing homelessness and living with HIV. Eric writes:Housing is a human(e) right. Jane Doughless was denied this right. In order that her death not be in vain, let us continue the fight for housing and other human rights. Let us not get angry only for a fleeting moment and then return to business as usual. Stay angry until we change the system that allowed this to happen to her, angry enough to fight for change. The story of Jane Doughless could very well become your story. In this economy, you could soon find yourself "Doughless". There, but for the grace of God, go I.....
His voice challenges the perception that people often have about the abilities and experience of the homeless. His blogg encourages active participation and incites a need to take responsibility from his readers.
