New York City Mayor Eric Adams has made homeless sweeps one of the defining features of his administration. The sweeps often end with people\u2019s few worldly possessions being tossed in the back of a garbage truck. The City was at it again on Tuesday, dismantling a couple of encampments by the Manhattan Bridge. It also planned to oust a homeless encampment in Sara Roosevelt Park at the intersection of Forsyth and Canal. One abolitionist neighborhood resident, Isabel, has sought to aid the homeless men instead of looking away or trying to involve the police. Isabel joins us to talk about how she\u2019s chosen to respond to homelessness in her community.
