Activist Plans Fast to Protest Reagan Policy on Homeless

WASHINGTON — Social activist Mitch Snyder said Tuesday that he will embark on another hunger strike today to protest President Reagan’s “unwillingness to admit that homeless people are out there.”

At the start of his “open-ended” fast at his Community for Creative Nonviolence shelter, Snyder said he will burn a copy of Reagan’s proposed federal budget and wipe the ash on his forehead as “an Ash Wednesday reminder of the Administration’s neglect of the poor.”
