Sandwiches

A poignant story about street sleeping, written by Naomi Westerman, a writer, anthropologist, and disability rights activist. Performed by Cardboard Citizens Member, actor, and writer Oriana White.

"I have enough sandwiches. Whatever I need from you, whatever I want from you, it's not sandwiches. I reject your half-hearted, minimum-effort attempts to make me part of your world through sympathy, and your 'but please use the back door,' and your sandwiches."

Sandwiches offers a raw and honest portrayal of life on the streets, highlighting the increasing rough sleeping crisis. In autumn 2023, an estimated 3,898 people were found homeless on a single night - a rise of over 25% from 2022.
