Meet the Superheroes Serving Silicon Valley’s Unhoused
In the heart of Silicon Valley’s glamorous tech paradise, modern-day superheroes known as Batman of San Jose and Crimson Fist are stepping up where many fear to tread. These anonymous heroes provide food, water, and essential supplies to the unhoused living on the streets, storm drains, and riverbanks of San Jose, California. Their mission is grounded in the belief that recognizing humanity and serving others is crucial amidst a growing crisis. “I’m not comfortable with what I’m seeing in myself and my community. How can I change that?” says Batman of San Jose, who began this effort when he was a teenager. With homelessness fueled by increasing housing costs, stagnating wages, and domestic abuse, these quite literal heroes are making the invisible visible, and their actions have fueled a whole community of “superheroes” to take regular action for their homeless neighbors. Why the costumes? They remain anonymous to keep the focus on the issue of homelessness and the universal act of helping others.
