Access to affordable housing is clearly the key to ending homelessness, and the market alone will not solve this problem. Housing is a basic human need. Weโre committed to a future where everyone has a home. #housingjustice

What criminalizing homelessness does, per @annymoliva:
โ harms people experiencing homelessness
โ makes the jobs of service providers (which are already very difficult jobs!) even more difficult
โ costs the system money

As a society, we need to step up together to ensure that everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, or culture, has equitable access to homes. Disproportionate rent burdens are not the way.

We're often told that Cuba is a dictatorship that doesn't have democracy.
To see for ourselves, we observed Municipal Assembly elections last month.
BT's @KeiPritsker spoke to voters to ask them what they think of democracy in Cuba versus in the U.S.

This result is humbling. ๐
But it isnโt surprising. We were massively outspent, but when you talk to voters in our community they care about climate action, housing affordability, and reproductive freedom. They saw through all the ads and robocalls.
