Spare Change provides a locus of stability and community, and serves as a nexus
of life transition for its primary customers – the newspaper vendors. Meanwhile, the
publication is devoted to producing quality editorial content, which includes journalistic,
fiction, creative and opinion writing, illustration, and cartooning. This commitment is
meant to serve Spare Change’s secondary customers, i.e., the readers themselves.
Our content is almost always 100% locally produced, with much of it written, drawn and
photographed by currently or formerly homeless, or otherwise low-income individuals.
Finally, the newspaper serves as a resource for people in need of services such as
food, shelter, clothing, employment, healthcare and legal aid, as can be found in
the “Situations Wanted” and “Helping Hands” sections of the print edition.2,3
The headquarters of Spare Change News and the Homeless Empowerment Project are
located in the Old Cambridge Baptist Church at 1151 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge,

#BlackLivesMatter was created in 2012 after Trayvon Martin’s murderer, George Zimmerman, was acquitted for his crime, and dead 17-year old Trayvon was posthumously placed on trial for his own murder. Rooted in the experiences of Black people in this country who actively resist our dehumanization, #BlackLivesMatter is a call to action and a response to the virulent anti-Black racism that permeates our society.Black Lives Matter is a unique contribution that goes beyond extrajudicial killings of Black people by police and vigilantes.
