JEAN STACEY (Founder of SLEEPS for Safe Legally Entitled Emergency Places to Sleep)

Jean Stacey was not an activist before Occupy Eugene but ever since she has worked to help the unhoused.  At the Occupy Eugene Protest Camp she saw many things that she thought were preventable causes of suffering for unhoused people.  She became seriously involved and worked hard to help create the progress we have made these past years.  To stop the injustice of not being able to sleep legally in Eugene, Jean would work up to 12 hours per day, doing whatever she could to help.  She was on the Homeless Solutions Task Force in 2012 and an original board member of Opportunity Village Eugene.  She eloquently spoke about the issues and so during the time she was most actively involved, she was interviewed many times.

Here are some of those interviews:
