Even today, we are called to strengthen our prayers as one family of God for an end to the war in Ukraine. Peace. Peace. Peace.

The lives of Jessica Aldama and her stillborn baby could have been saved - instead Jessica was ticketed for sleeping in a tent because she was homeless. Criminalizing homelessness is cruel, dark and heartless. https://t.co/UBKFLXnq9z

Pro life means protecting the lives of all the living. Get vaccinated, wear your masks, maintain social distance.

Cities across the US are making homelessness illegal yet not providing support for homeless people to get out of homelessness. Steve says making homelessness illegal will just move homeless people around, doing nothing to end homelessness - he’s right. https://t.co/slnsjYKytX

The Washington Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to impound a homeless person's vehicle and require them to pay towing and storage fees if the vehicle is used as a shelter: https://t.co/bnxBV8Nked

#MythbusterMonday is back!
Myth: Most of the homeless population is mentally ill.
Truth: Decades of research on mental illness and the homeless reveal that only 1/3 of the homeless population, at most, have a mental illness. #fightingstigmas #reStartlives

Remember shelter is not a solution to homelessness. It is a dangerous place to stay during a pandemic. Time to #rethinkShelter in the USA.

The Holy Family is still among us here and now, in the faces of the refugee, the immigrant, the oppressed, the sick and poor. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." Matthew 25:35, Merry Christmas.

The myth I hate the most is “you can only help those who want to be helped.” We MUST love on people - ALL PEOPLE - until they can love on themselves. People often use this harmful belief to justify inaction. They accept that it’s OK to allow people to die outside! IT'S NOT!

National Homeless Memorial Day is Tuesday December 21, 2021--a time to remember those thousands of souls who died over the last year while spending time living on the streets of America. There are over 130 vigils taking place in cities throughout the US.

To reduce persistent economic inequities, it is essential that federal relief resources are targeted to those facing disproportionate risk of eviction and housing insecurity - including communities of color and youth ages 18-24.
