In our @Pun_Soc article, we conceptualize and visualize how deliberate sanitation deprivation in urban environments functions as a punishment regime inflicted on residents, especially unhoused residents, to the detriment of public health and safety. 🚽 https://t.co/sbez47spbK

Must read new article @Pun_Soc conceptualizing "Sanitation Justice" in relation to human and environmental rights of the houseless. @bathrooms_sdsu details mechanisms of sanitation deprivation that complements my work w/ colleagues on the weaponization of sanitation in sweeps.

This month’s data report on homelessness inflow and outflow from RTFH is now available. Our findings show that in March, 1226 individuals were housed while 1337 individuals experienced homelessness for the first time. 1/

@SarahJTracy I think I did this here: https://t.co/AMdByj6XKf

.@bathrooms_sdsu found the majority of restrooms adjacent to the trolley stops were along the Blue Line, which runs from University City to the border, and the fewest along the Green Line, which runs from East Village to Santee.

Pumped about this paper's practical findings for service provision and program planning in public health & related fields. Paper is 1st authored by former MPH student. Best job on 🌍 is mentoring students to achieve their goals & drive social change for a more justice world.

So grateful to work with Jonathen this past year! He's a rockstar

[Project for Sanitation Justice @bathrooms_sdsu]

Jonathen Vazquez Ramirez, BSPH, joined PSJ through SDSU's Student Undergraduate Research Program. He supported our social survey, field assessment, & community views teams. We can’t wait to see the contributions Jonathen will make to the field of public health (and beyond)! 🎓🚽

@jeni_hb Heck yes, Jeni! Super cool. Can't wait to hear more.

[Cody Dulaney @dulaneycd]

Researchers told the San Diego City Council to decriminalize things like blocking a sidewalk or sleeping where it's not allowed. It only causes more harm. Less than 48 hours later, top city officials doubled down. https://t.co/qwgRH9JQme

Had a great time presenting a portion of my master’s thesis at the @SDSUResearch Student Symposium! After countless hours working on my project in the 24/7 Area, it was only fitting that I earned the @SDSULibrary Award! 📚

Of the 22 permanent public restrooms in Downtown San Diego, only 2 locations (with a total of 9 toilets) are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At night, there is approximately 1 permanent toilet for every 215 unsheltered people — growing from 1:190 since December 2022.

If you're in San Diego, please consider sharing your thoughts with us on public restrooms! We are interested in all different viewpoints. Your responses are anonymous.

[Project for Sanitation Justice @bathrooms_sdsu]

What is one reason, for or against, having more and better public restrooms in San Diego?

If you're 18+ and a San Diego County resident, please visit https://t.co/IvnssC8e2m and share your views on public restrooms to inform local efforts regarding restroom access and quality.
