"The safety of Marylanders is your top priority," @iamwesmoore, yet your emergency preparedness has NO PREPARATION FOR PEOPLE LIVING UNSHELTERED.
What will you do to leave no Marylander behind?
Imagine living outside or in a tent. Now, imagine that life during a severe storm.

One of many profound pictures I took while rallying outside the @USSupremeCourt against the criminalization of homelessness.
Call to Action!
>> If you believe everyone deserves a home & people should NOT be punished for simply sleeping outside, tell your delegates! Speak up! <<

STATEMENT from the @homeless_law :
"Arresting or fining people for trying to survive is expensive, counterproductive, and cruel. While we are disappointed, we are not surprised that this Supreme Court ruled against the interests of our poorest neighbors."

BREAKING: Supreme Court ruling will make homelessness worse, declares homeless people not protected from cruel and unusual punishment. In response, advocates demand at least $356 billion to be invested in proven solutions. #JohnsonVGrantsPass

Sleeping on the street for a week is not comparable to losing your stability and then struggling to get your most basic needs met with no end in sight while most of the world treats you like gum on their shoe & people profit off your suffering.

In times of chaos, when the next right step is unclear & the future unknown, focusing on what we can control is one of the most empowering things we can do.
Right now, we can actively advocate for peace & nonviolence, and we can support each other with kindness & empathy.

Try to imagine living, day & night, outside with nowhere to go.
Now, try to imagine surviving outside during a Code Red Excessive Heat Warning, no reprieve or end in sight, no protection from the sun, no air conditioner, no fridge/freezer.

Many people who are homeless do not struggle with addiction or mental illness.
Among many other reasons, homelessness is the result of a housing crisis, outdated zoning laws, lack of renter protections, no limit to corporate housing - not just being in a "self-destructive loop."

Vinod, you are a good human being. Thank you. 🙏 It's easy blame homeless for their circumstances but many are a product of their environment, addiction, mental health (what's the Venn diagram?). At some point it stops being a choice for many, stuck in a self-destructive loop.

News: Nearly 1 in 4 homes in New Hampshire for sale costs at least $1M
"The problem plaguing home affordability today is that far fewer homes are for sale at any price than years ago."
It doesn't have to be like this. We can build more homes.

Homeless is the unfinished business of the civil rights movement. It’s time to finish the job. The war on the poor is has far to many casualties its past time to fight back.

Opening the #MoralMarchonWashington with a reminder of why we’re here, the organizing it took to make it to this moment, and what we’re fighting for.
We’re coming together to fight for what we deserve, poverty should not be a death sentence.

Most people forced to live outside do not want to be outside. Can you even begin to imagine weathering the weather with no relief or reprieve in sight?
There is a severe lack of housing and other resources. Wait lists for help are often closed or are years & years long.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued today a decision in Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson, allowing jurisdictions to arrest and ticket unhoused people for sleeping outside, even when adequate shelter or housing is not available. mailchi.mp/nlihc/nlihc_scotu…

Vehicles offer more safety/security than sleeping on the street or going into a shelter for many people. In our recent #CAHomelessness study, “people told us they preferred vehicles to shelters, but they would have preferred housing,” says Dr. @MKushel.

Today's #SCOTUS decision is inhumane and will make #homelessness worse across the nation. And the brunt of this ruling will fall on unhoused Black, Brown, and Indigenous people. Read our full statement here:

ALT Text: Today's SCOTUS decision is profoundly disappointing. This ruling will make homelessness worse in Grants Pass and throughout the nation. Poor health causes homelessness, and the traumatic experience of homelessness creates new health condiitons and exacerbates existing ones. Read more at nhchc.org.
