As Sesame Street gives one of its Muppets a new story, the children’s show continues to confront important issues with viewers.
Lily, a previously introduced character, has become the first homeless puppet on the program in an effort to raise awareness of childhood homelessness. In a heartbreaking moment from a series of online videos, her schoolmates make their way out, but Lily hesitates.
“I miss our apartment and now we don’t have our own place to live,” she says. “And sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever have our own home again.” With help from her friends, she learns that “home is where the love is” and those who love her will always be there to take care of her.

Homelessness is sad and I hope Sesame Street doesn’t glamorize it.
No, but he'll probably $hit in the street and leave druggy needles around on the sidewalks
Wouldn't it be nice if TV shows would stop preaching and start entertaining? I got a Neflix film that started off with a dire warning about cigarette smoking, but then the film itself was full of pot smoking and lots of laughing and giggling while they were smoking pot.
Hollyweird is full of filthy stinking hypocrites.
At some point the powers that be will declare Lily and her family to be useless eaters.The einsatzgruppen will sweep them up in their next campaign.
The ultimate dream of all leftists.
Geez, Oscar lives in a trash can, doesn’t that cover it?
No, but he does regularly take a dump on the sidewalks and take a leak in the bushes in front of the Starbucks.
Even more funding needed. Women, children, and fluffy puppets hardest hit.
Raise awareness. Raise awareness. Raise awareness. Liberals always want to raise awareness of something, as if no one else in the world has ever heard of something.
Hmm...a smoker inhales & then breathes out again.
A pothead inhales & holds the smoke in until his eyes start.
So...tobacco smoke is more dangerous than MJ smoke. I get it.
“Even more funding needed. Women, children, and fluffy puppets hardest hit.”
Ha! You’ve got the rap down perfectly.
Homelessness is only a problem when we have a Republican President.
><><
That’s right. There wasn’t anyone living on the streets for the 8 years of Obama or Clinton. It’s a miracle.
Amateurs.
The modern American MSM is the best propaganda machine of all time. It's not even close.
Better let not the crypto-liberal potheads here hear that
You’re right. Amazing how they haven’t caught on yet.
Wait, what about Cookie Monster?
First, they had Big Bird.
Now, they have Shirt Bird.
He lives in San Francisco and craps on the sidewalk.
“Let’s count how many piles Shirt Bird has left on the sidewalk. One two three four five! Five piles of crap! They been feedin Shirt Bird too much. Let’s all play in the piles! Oh! It’s shirt soccer! First one to kick a turd into the Mayor’s office gets a cookie!”
Lily has AIDs and fleas. I hate her. I hope she dies, alone and cold and under a bridge.
Rush Limbaugh proven correct, again.
Homelessness only becomes a political issue when a Republican is in the White House.
What, one that lives in a garbage can wasn’t good enough for them?
Will they have a muppet doll that is trans, Spanish-speaking, m*slim, and allergic to gluten?
