A Chicago priest, known for its unusual forms of activism, takes the next step while trying to inspire the youth of the country.
Priest Corey BrooksKnown as the “roof pastetor”, this September is preparing to walk from New York to Los Angeles 3,000 miles. He said his goal is to provide awareness and financing for young people who receive inadequate service in Chicago and inadequate service throughout the country.
Brooks said on Tuesday, “Our country has moved away from God, our families and communities have moved away from God, and we need a spiritual awakening in America.” He said.
“This is one of the reasons why I get hoping to walk in America, to inform people in cities, suburbs and rural areas that we can change things.”

In 2011, Brooks attracted 94 days on the roof of a ruined Chicago Motel to protest the deaths of young people in the violence and community. The priest aimed to collect money to destroy the abandoned motor, which he said he had become a center for drugs and crime.
This show was a success, and led to the establishment of Project Hood, a non -profit organization aimed at helping young people at risk to escape from poverty and violence. The organization’s website says local residents provide mentoring, training and community support.
In Chicago, we bought one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America, and we transformed it, Bro Brooks said from his previous work.
