In 1920, women broke down barriers to the ballot box. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">But only in the last 30 years have homeless Americans done the same. Not only does their vote matter, say advocates, but you can cast that ballot even if you have no fixed address. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“Luckily you can,” says \u003ca href=\"http://cangress.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">L.A. Community Action Network (LACAN) \u003c/a>executive director Pete White. He says people can list a shelter or a public park where they sleep. They don’t even need to be that specific. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“On the voter registration affidavit there’s a line that says: address or cross streets,” explains White. “That one line, ‘or cross streets,’ came about as a result of houseless advocates fighting for a campaign to make sure people without homes were not disenfranchised.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Last month, LACAN wrapped up a 30-day voter registration project on \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/07/skid-row-in-los-angeles-a-city-within-a-city/\">Skid Row,\u003c/a> a stretch of downtown L.A. that’s home to a big concentration of shelters and other services. This month they’re focusing on locating registered voters in areas with high rates of homelessness to make sure they can vote if they want to. That includes people like TC Alexander, who lives in a tent on the sidewalk just outside the offices of LACAN. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">After he feeds his dog some lunch, we duck inside the building to get away from the street noise. Alexander says he’s been homeless off and on since the mid-1980s. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Even so, Alexander rarely misses the chance to vote. When he was a kid, he joined his mom on voter registration drives across Los Angeles\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“I’m going with my mother downtown, anywhere, at an outing, a concert. She was educating me about the Voting Rights Act of 1965,” says Alexander. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Thirty years ago Alexander participated in demonstrations at L.A. City Hall demanding the homeless be allowed to vote. It was around the time a group of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nationalhomeless.org/projects/vote/court.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeless men sued Santa Barbara County \u003c/a>when their voter registration forms were denied because they listed a public park as their home. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The men won. And the state of California revised its eligibility rules.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“You don’t need an ID to vote. Why should you need an address to vote,” says Alexander. “You had to fight for everything. We had to fight for that right for homeless people to vote as citizens of the United States.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">There’s an estimated 28,000 homeless people in the city of L.A. and about half a million nationwide — a massive, largely untapped voting bloc.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“We know on any given night there are hundreds of thousands of people who are homeless,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.innercitylaw.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inner City Law Center \u003c/a>policy director Jerry Jones. “And voting is especially important, given how poorly served people who are living in destitution are from our government.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Jones says the November election in L.A. is unlike any in recent memory. And not because of who’s running for president. There’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lachamber.com/advocacy/measure-hhh/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$1.2 billion bond measure on the ballot \u003c/a>that supporters hope will spur construction of up to 10,000 units of permanent supportive housing over the next decade.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“So, showing up and voting is especially important to people who are experiencing homelessness (because) there is finally real hope of getting the resources we need to make a difference in this crisis in L.A.,” says Jones.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">In San Francisco, voters are weighing \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvsf.org/elections-2/pro-cons-prop-q-november-8-2016-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition Q\u003c/a>.

I’d rather walk over people than to have people just pushed aside, and no telling what you gonna do with them.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Cunningham says he hadn’t really planned to launch a one-man voter drive. But there is this friend of his, a Vietnam veteran who’s homeless. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“I believe he prefers to be on the streets, why I don’t know. But I believe he is a registered voter,” says Cunningham. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">So maybe he’ll start there. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

They don’t even need to be that specific. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“On the voter registration affidavit there’s a line that says: address or cross streets,” explains White. “That one line, ‘or cross streets,’ came about as a result of houseless advocates fighting for a campaign to make sure people without homes were not disenfranchised.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Last month, LACAN wrapped up a 30-day voter registration project on \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/04/07/skid-row-in-los-angeles-a-city-within-a-city/\">Skid Row,\u003c/a> a stretch of downtown L.A. that’s home to a big concentration of shelters and other services. This month they’re focusing on locating registered voters in areas with high rates of homelessness to make sure they can vote if they want to. That includes people like TC Alexander, who lives in a tent on the sidewalk just outside the offices of LACAN. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">After he feeds his dog some lunch, we duck inside the building to get away from the street noise. Alexander says he’s been homeless off and on since the mid-1980s. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Even so, Alexander rarely misses the chance to vote. When he was a kid, he joined his mom on voter registration drives across Los Angeles\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“I’m going with my mother downtown, anywhere, at an outing, a concert. She was educating me about the Voting Rights Act of 1965,” says Alexander. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Thirty years ago Alexander participated in demonstrations at L.A. City Hall demanding the homeless be allowed to vote. It was around the time a group of \u003ca href=\"http://www.nationalhomeless.org/projects/vote/court.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homeless men sued Santa Barbara County \u003c/a>when their voter registration forms were denied because they listed a public park as their home. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">The men won. And the state of California revised its eligibility rules.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“You don’t need an ID to vote. Why should you need an address to vote,” says Alexander. “You had to fight for everything. We had to fight for that right for homeless people to vote as citizens of the United States.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">There’s an estimated 28,000 homeless people in the city of L.A. and about half a million nationwide — a massive, largely untapped voting bloc.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“We know on any given night there are hundreds of thousands of people who are homeless,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.innercitylaw.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inner City Law Center \u003c/a>policy director Jerry Jones. “And voting is especially important, given how poorly served people who are living in destitution are from our government.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Jones says the November election in L.A. is unlike any in recent memory. And not because of who’s running for president. There’s a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lachamber.com/advocacy/measure-hhh/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$1.2 billion bond measure on the ballot \u003c/a>that supporters hope will spur construction of up to 10,000 units of permanent supportive housing over the next decade.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">“So, showing up and voting is especially important to people who are experiencing homelessness (because) there is finally real hope of getting the resources we need to make a difference in this crisis in L.A.,” says Jones.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">In San Francisco, voters are weighing \u003ca href=\"http://www.lwvsf.org/elections-2/pro-cons-prop-q-november-8-2016-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition Q\u003c/a>.

And we'll do our best to deliver it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mission is personal for Adler.
