Donar a conèixer la realitat de les persones sense sostre és el primer pas per transformar-la i tu pots ser una part important d'aquesta transformació. En aquesta secció trobaràs diferents maneres de difondre aquesta problemàtica i de fer comunitat amb moltes persones.
Around the main website of Arrels, a series of weblogs and communitarian spaces have developed where people have found a place to express their views. To participate and share in those spaces is a way to know more about the problem of homelessness.

Write letters of complaint
To live in a democracy allows us to contact political representatives to make concrete demands and to manifest our opinions through the media. This two-fold channel is very powerful; a demonstration of this is that often the pressure of public opinion has achieved the goals that social action organisations have been pursuing for a long time.
You can address your comments, complaints and suggestions about the problem of homelessness
