This week on PBS, Tavis Smiley is highlighting issues poor people around the country are facing in a documentary series produced by the Media Mobilizing Project.

Tavis traveled 3,000 miles with Dr. Cornel West to listen to the struggles communities are facing in this difficult economy and share stories of unemployment, homelessness, and hunger.

  Geoff Millard of IVAW's DC Chapter who works as a homeless veterans' advocate was interviewed for this important series.
