In 10 years fighting for social justice as chair of the economic justice ministry at the Unitarian Universalist Church and to end homelessness as a member of the Anaheim Poverty Task Force, she’s usually in a room with leaders and volunteers from faith and service groups.
But for the first time, at a meeting earlier this week at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Anaheim, she joined a group of about 25 residents to discuss ways to solve the city’s homeless issue.
