For sophomore Aaron Snyder, the planned removal of a homeless encampment on E Street Thursday is personal.
Snyder, the co-president of People in Crisis, a New Jersey-based group that assists communities in need, has worked with the encampment’s residents for almost a year to lower their medication costs. Snyder said he was outraged by the District’s plans to clear the camp, located across the street from the former Red Cross building, because it will push members of the community out of the area without anywhere to go.
