Along the way, the March to Fulfill the Dream has been highlighting the plight of the poor and homeless who have been affected by the great recession and foreclosure crisis. Marches and demonstrations have been held in each city to call attention to poverty. This tent city will house poor people from across the country who have come to Detroit to share stories and organize to fight poverty and homelessness in the United States.
