A prominent Harvard student shared his regular trek to class past homeless residents sleeping on the streets in cold Cambridge weather.
David Hogg, an anti-gun advocate, attends Harvard College. He became a school safety proponent after his alma mater, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, experienced a shooting at the hands of a student.
“I walk to class every day passing people sleeping in the cold on the ground- outside an institution with over $53 billion, in a state that purports to be one of the most progressive in the country, In the richest country on the planet,” Hogg said Sunday. “Our issue isn’t resources- it’s priorities.”

Hogg was referring to Harvard’s reported $53 billion endowment in the past fiscal year.
“It’s great seeing the compassion of the community and how many private groups such as nonprofits and faith organizations pitching to help but it really shouldn’t be on them to do with the state and federal government could solve in a year easily,” he added.

The city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, is known for its homeless population, especially in the Harvard Square area.
The city had a high of 38 degrees and a low of 29 degrees on Sunday when Hogg made the comment.
Hogg is one of the original organizers of the March for Our Lives, an anti-gun demonstration, and works on the campaign of congressional candidate Maxwell Frost, a Florida Democrat.
