For those who don't know and still believe that it is OK to pretend that the U.S is the greatest country on earth. REALTY CHECK! Watch this video NOW. This is how The First People of This Land are treated TODAY. Spread the word and Share this video now!

It began as just a project to capture poverty across the country, but turned into something much more meaningful than that. This is a truly compelling story that deserves to be shared. Doesn't hurt to have Shepard Fairey helping spread the word through the streets either!
