Street Newspapers

Community Connection

Community Connection is a publication of the Los Angeles Community Action Network. Following the tradition of all major social movements, LACAN created a community-based newspaper with the sole purpose of telling the whole story from the perspectives of those living it. The newspaper shares LACAN’s philosophy that people are best suited to tell their own stories; therefore, all stories are written by LA CAN members and supporters. The Community Connection is LACAN’s rendition of the North Star, the Liberator and other historical examples of community-based press used to advance social change. The paper is published every two months.

Homeward Street Journal

Homeward Street Journal has been publishing since 1997 as a project of the Sacramento Homeless Organizing Committee, which is a member of the Sacramento Housing Alliance. The paper’s mission is to alleviate miscommunication between the homeless and non-homeless communities by educating the public about housing and poverty issues, and by giving homeless people a voice in the public forum. Homeward also informs homeless people of shelter and occupational assistance, and acts as a creative self-help opportunity for those individuals who wish to participate. Of utmost importance is the vendor program and the individuals that distribute the paper to the public.
