Video: PTH protests landlords who keep buildings vacant

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2hAfhKRnIY From our short documentary film "Homeless People Count," documenting our first "sleep-out" protest and the Manhattan vacant building and lot count. Seven minutes. Homeless people organize a "sleep out" protest to dramatize the injustice of landlords keeping buildings empty while people are forced to sleep on the streets (even though the Mayor says there are no more abandoned buildings). After our protest, we worked with Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer to conduct a count of vacant buildings and lots in the borough of Manhattan.
