🚨If #SCOTUS rules in favor of Grants Pass, it will authorize cities and states to punish people forced to sleep outdoors with arrest and steep fines. We need housing solutions, not fines 🏘️. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #JohnsonVGrantsPass #HousingNotHandcuffs

Imagine being fined or arrested for not having a place to sleep. A case that could rule in that favor is currently being heard at the Supreme Court. We need compassionate solutions, not penalties. #JohnsonVGrantsPass #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

Arresting or fining people experiencing homelessness isn’t just ineffective; it worsens the issue. As #SCOTUS hears #JohnsonVGrantsPass, we must advocate for humanity and #HousingNotHandcuffs. #HomelessnessIsSolvable

Arresting and fining people for sleeping on the streets is ineffective and keeps people homeless for longer. There are alternatives to arresting people that communities can act on now. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

There is a lot to be learned by listening to the people most affected by the system, and their lived experience should be at the core of any reform efforts. . Read Report: . #IAmACitizen #Justice #JusticeReform #WashingtonDC
