@CASenCaballero AB 630 isn't good for the people directly affected. “The fact remains that these vehicles (even vanlord ones) are safer for people living in them than living on the street.”

@CASenCaballero
RV Enforcement makes it harder to get housing, and AB 630 will only make things worse. Let's find real solutions to homelessness, not taking away choices for safer shelter in vehicles - often just because it's hard to see.

@CASenCaballero AB 630 is misleading. LACity Mayor Bass wants you to believe that the towed vehicle residents are getting "housed," but not so much according to LACity's own reports - please see Page 4

@CASenCaballero @ilike_mike : As Sean Geary notes in his CalMatters op-ed, “Lawmakers should choose compassion and reject AB 630.” Use your leadership to stop this bill in the Senate Appropriations Committee. https://t.co/kaK02Qk6YR

@CASenCaballero @ilike_mike : use your leadership to stop AB 630 in the Senate Appropriations Committee. It would increase houselessness when our state does not have adequate permanent housing https://t.co/uokJrjewBi

Why does only 17% of OC’s proposed discretionary budget go to community services, while over 50% goes to law enforcement, jails and the DA? Join us June 3 @ 12pm for an easy-to-understand breakdown of the 2024-2025 proposed budget at: https://t.co/nvqD1gMpSV

Unhoused folks are disproportionately Black and Brown. This blog describes how SB 1011 would move CA backwards on fighting racism https://t.co/a10mIG0E8r @aishabbwahab @SteveBradford @Scott_Wiener @NancySkinnerCA #NOonSB1011

Here is why SB 1011 is not only cruel, ineffective, but also a huge setback to California's efforts to advance racial justice. https://t.co/a10mIG0E8r @aishabbwahab @SteveBradford @Scott_Wiener @NancySkinnerCA #NOonSB1011

Next Tuesday, the California Senate Public Safety Committee is considering SB 1011, which would radically expand the criminalization of homelessness in our state. We cannot solve homelessness through citations and arrests. The only solution is housing. #NoOnSB1011

Segregation is dehumanizing. As Michelle shared, “It’s when you see the sweeps that…we’re just rats being swept away. And we’re not!” @aishabbwahab @SteveBradford @Scott_Wiener @NancySkinnerCA #NOonSB1011 https://t.co/mj3mvVRGXz

[Eve Garrow @EveGarrow]

SB 1011= Harm. “When I was ticketed for living outside, it made me feel like I didn’t belong in my own community. It made me feel like a second-class community member who didn’t even have the right to exist.” @aishabbwahab #NOonSB1011 https://t.co/mj3mvVRGXz

Pushing unhoused people out of sight doesn’t make houselessness go away.

That’s why over 100 organizations are urging #NOonSB1011. 👇

[Mari Castaldi @mari__castaldi]

ICYMI, next week the CA Senate Pub Safety Cmte vote whether to make it a crime to sit, lie, sleep, or place belongings on the sidewalk in huge swaths of the state. This letter from over 100 orgs does a great job laying out why these kinds of policies fail: https://t.co/U2QqaGTNVf

Pushing unhoused people out of sight doesn’t make homelessness go away. To end homelessness, we need to address the root problem: lack of affordable housing. 

Communities are safer and stronger when we ALL have a stable place to live. @aishabbwahab #NOonSB1011

We’ve done this before, and it hasn’t worked. Hear from folks who have experienced criminalization and urge your legislators to vote #NOonSB1011 https://t.co/fF46zDc5d1

Confused by Proposition 1? Don't be fooled by the false promises. Read this blog and FAQ and then vote NO. https://t.co/GPrfQogsoB

[ACLU SoCal @ACLU_SoCal]

Health care and housing are human rights.  

We know the mental health system in California needs to modernize, but Proposition 1 is the absolute wrong approach. Here’s why 🧵

Something good but easy to miss happened: LA got permission from HUD to relax identification requirements for unhoused people seeking housing. It's a small but important change that will make housing people easier.
