Marc Ellis: Lifewise big sleep out in Auckland

The Lifewise Big Sleepout is an annual event aimed at raising serious funds and channeling significant attention in the direction of solving homelessness in the city of Auckland. It is a night where influential New Zealanders forgo their creature comforts for a night of ‘rough sleeping’ as a way of making a public stand against homelessness. Put simply, it’s a no-holds-barred approach to exposing what is often an invisible issue.
