A Los Angeles mission built around practical help
Los Angeles entrepreneur Brad Robey has launched Fair The World, a developing nonprofit initiative intended to support people experiencing homelessness and others in need. The organization is building its program around practical shelter, essential supplies, compassionate outreach and cleanup efforts in Los Angeles County.
The project’s message—“Cleaner Communities. Greater Dignity. A Brighter Tomorrow.”—reflects a goal of helping people directly while also improving the shared spaces surrounding encampments. Fair The World says its approach is designed to keep people, dignity and visible community improvement connected.
What the program is planning
- Compact shelter and essential-supply distribution
- Respectful outreach and connections to support services
- Organized community cleanup efforts
- Numbered tents and privacy-conscious records for outreach teams
Numbered tents and privacy-conscious outreach
Plans described by Fair The World include uniform two-person tents with permanent identification numbers and individual QR codes. Rather than placing personal information on a tent, the proposed system would connect authorized outreach workers to protected records used for support, inventory and follow-up.
The organization is also developing a privacy-conscious way for people to request help and for families to seek contact with loved ones. Public-facing information and staff-only records are intended to remain separate, with consent guiding any connection.
How people can participate
FairTheWorld.com is the central source for the initiative’s program information, tent sponsorship plans, donations, volunteer opportunities, partnerships and requests for help. The site currently identifies Los Angeles as its initial service area and lists a bulk tent-distribution target of 500 to 1,000.
Readers can follow the program as it develops, learn how the tent system is intended to work and review ways to become involved at the official website.
