Vanguard Revisited - GLBT Historical Society

In 2011, the youth at Larkin Street Youth
Services also sweep streets. As a part of
the HIRE program youth learn employment
skills and often join the San Francisco
Department of Public Works and neighborhood business groups to get neighbor-
hoods clean. The sweeping is not only job training, but it is an attempt to fight
the stigma that all homeless people are messy and lazy. While the literal street
sweeping continues, the Vanguard youth of the 60’s used sweeping to combat police
discrimination and the very practices that became law in 2010 with the passage of
Prop N, known as the sit/lie law.
