"The Invisible Class: The Story of America's Homeless" is a film
by Josh Hayes
. It tells the story of the children, elderly, families, veterans, and more, that make up America's homeless population. Please feel free to watch the trailer for the film and/or donate here.
 
Shepard Fairey created the poster for the film. He is a contemporary artist, graphic designer, and illustrator. He first became known for his "André the Giant Has a Posse" sticker campaign, in which he appropriated images from the comedic super market tabloid Weekly World News. His work became more widely known in the 2008 U.S. presidential election, specifically his Barack Obama "HOPE" poster. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston calls him one of today's best known and most influential street artists. His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
