HOW
ABOUT A REAL DIFFERENCE?
The Whats Up Magazine Homeless Empowerment Project has many faces, a
newspaper, an advocacy group, and a Homeless Speakers Bureau. We do a
lot, and all of it is working toward building bridges among the poor, homeless
and the greater community, while engaging the broader public in fighting for
economic justice. By publishing the magazine and mobilizing the public around
poverty issues, Whats Up Magazine organizes, educates and builds
alliances to find community-based solutions to homelessness and poverty. Whats
Up is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
WHAT
WE DO FOR ST. LOUIS
Whats
Up is
St. Louis' activist publication with an ear to the street. Whats Up
readers are educated, socially-concerned, and loyal. Our publication is sold by
St. Louis' homeless, and helps them earn the money they need to get ahead. Each
month, more than 30 different vendors are out selling our paper throughout the
St. Louis area.
Whats Up is a hand up, not a handout.
Our
publication strives to create fairness, opportunity and community by covering
issues that socially conscious people want to know about, from topics
surrounding poor and homelessness, to stories about labor, the environment,
public health and civil liberties - just to name a few.
