Will Smith Urges People To Sleep Outside In Support For The Homeless

Will Smith Wants People To Sleep Outside In A Fight For Homelessness

Popular actor Will Smith has taken it upon himself to embark on a campaign in support of the homeless. The ‘Gemini’ actor wants people to sleep outside of their homes in a fight for homelessness.

Teaming up with ‘The World’s Big Sleep Out’ campaign, he urges citizens to join the movement in city-wide “sleep outs” in major cities across the globe.

“Think for a minute about what home means to you, to me, home means conversation. It’s, like, the place where my family comes together and that’s the most beautiful part of home,” Will Smith said in the awareness video.

“But there are over 100 million people in the world who don’t have a place to call home,” he added.

The sleepout will take place on December 7th where fifty thousand people are expected to sleep outside communally for “the world’s largest display of solidarity and support for homeless and displaced people.”

Chris Martin and Helen Mirren are also advocating for support.

Will Smith will attend the Times Square sleepout to read everyone a bedtime story while Helen will do the same at Trafalgar Square.
