Sidewalk Talk

‘Sidewalk Talk’ is an online platform which interviews street soldiers from Newark NJ in order to share stories, first hand insight and provide clarity on misconceptions about the streets and those they serve.

This dialogue hopes to lift up voices from the front lines but also create a space for local organizations to support client outreach efforts, gain exposure to possible funding streams and/or make calls to action by donors and the community at-large.
