Mums sleep out to highlight plight of the homeless
SINGLE mothers turned housing activists slept rough last night in solidarity with London’s growing homeless community.
The women, members of the Focus E15 campaign, brought their sleeping bags into the Stratford Centre, a retail complex in the east London borough of Newham, after an increase in police raids on rough sleepers in the area.
Campaigners such as the group’s founder Jasmin Stone say social cleansing has taken place in the neighbourhood ever since the 2012 Olympics.
