Hi, this is R.L. Stevens reporting to you from Charlottesville, Virginia. I've been on the scene here in Charlottesville since Tuesday in the aftermath of the mass terror attack executed by fascists in the city. This is the same terror attack that

killed Heather Heyer. I've spoken to a number of people who were there and in the

course of getting around in the city and talking to people I ran across Kevin at Heather Hayer's memorial yesterday.

Kevin works for The Haven, which is where I'm located right now.

The Haven is a nonprofit that serves the homeless population of Charlottesville.

And it's located directly across the street from the park, which was the central point

in the terror attack that occurred last weekend.

Kevin was here that day.

He saw the violence in the streets.

He saw the panic in the streets.

And that day he was tasked with ensuring that the guests,

the homeless population of Charlottesville that depends on the haven, and usually is located in the park where the Nazis had taken over, would be protected that day. And that's what he was doing.

Kevin also knew Heather.

He knew her because she had actually helped him

in the process of his recovery because he was formerly homeless

and had used the haven services in order to get on his feet.

So it's a story about Heather, it's a story about the fascist violence here in

Charlottesville, and it's a story about what poverty really means and what it means

to organize out of it and what it means to to

struggle and to fight. Thank you for listening and here's Kevin. Thank you Kevin

for joining. Let's talk about the haven. So what is the haven? Well, the haven is, just as the word suggests, it's a day shelter for the homeless who have new place to go.

And what we do is that we provide shelter from the hours of 732, 12, Monday through Saturday,
