The tenets we must enforce under international human rights law are sacred. Without them, we are no democracy. ⬇️ Calling @WhiteHouse for a federal anti-criminalization agenda w/racial equity & anti-discrimination mandates, and pushing a human right to #housing. @homeless_law

Truth, @naehomelessness. "Caring about people experiencing homelessness" is about seeing and TREATING them as human beings instead of as outcasts unworthy of acknowledgment and ♥️. Too often, way too many of us forget this.
nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked people will remember: - if you cared about people experiencing homelessness - if you took time to understand why homelessness exists - if you advocated for more affordable housing
