Photos from the July 23rd homeless tent city in East Harlem, including the press conference, homeless fashion show (wowee!) and the arrests of 10 members of Picture The Homeless.

Breaking News! At 11am EST on Thursday, July 23rd, Picture The Homeless and allies took over a vacant lot at 115th and Madison Ave in East Harlem. We've installed a casita, stage, banners, signs, barbeque grills, and 2 dozen tent structures. 

As the foreclosure crisis festers, Bloomberg and the banks fail us. We're not waiting around. From Miami to Sacramento to now here in NYC we take back the land! We'll stay here as long as we can, housing the homeless and providing the resources the city fails to provide.

A summer breeze, corns, beans, bread, cherries, juice, tents, music, homeless people and allies. Come show you're support, we'll be here for a while!
