We’re holding an evening launch party celebrating our Team Members like the local celebrities they are! We’ll honor our Team Members that represent DST in the community everyday, as well as those that have graduated into employment or housing. We’ll have:
- a photo booth!
- autograph sessions!
- displays of art done by our Team Members!
- music!
- food!
- drinks served out of an indoor KARTMA coffee cart, the DST social enterprise
- panel discussion!
- the world premiere our Just Say Hi mini-documentary!
It’s a party, photo signing, panel discussion, art show, movie screening all-in-one. It's going to be a soiree, and our Team and their supporters are the guests of honor!
About the Just Say Hi Campaign
In one of the most innovative cities in the world, San Franciscans are moving quickly towards solutions for many of the world’s problems, yet we do so on a backdrop of severe homelessness: the imagery of people living in dire conditions on the streets has become the standard background of life in the City. In our current state of affairs, it’s easy to stop seeing unhoused community members as people, and let them blend into “the homeless.” It takes a conscious effort to remind ourselves that homelessness is an experience, not an identity.
In consultation with our unhoused participants, we asked them what the most distressing part of homelessness is. Their responses were not, as you might expect, struggling to find food or adequate shelter. Overwhelmingly our Team Members shared that the most demoralizing part of being homeless is the lack of acknowledgment from other people. That's why we're encouraging community members to just say hi to our Team!
