Congress needs to act to block voucher cuts and homelessness policy changes that will make it harder for hundreds of thousands of people to afford rent. We know what works to prevent homelessness and evictions, but Pres Trump is trying to cut those proven solutions.

Paired with the expiring enhanced subsidies, we're looking at ~15 million more uninsured people over the next decade, a more than 50% increase over the number uninsured today.

I was once a “revolving-door” psych patient, told I’d never finish school, let alone change lives. Thanks to @FountainHouse & @JeniferRajkumar, I found purpose—and helped elect NY’s 1st South Asian Assemblywoman. Now I fight for a system built on dignity.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has launched several “housing first” initiatives to help more people find temporary and permanent shelter. State data shows some strategies appear to be working, as Newark dropped its homelessness rate by more than 50% last year. https://t.co/u5YBmPIqzP

Data shows that more than 40% of unhoused people booked into jail were booked again within the year

The data is clear: poor people are a primary target for policing, especially those forced to live on the streets

We have three more days until Election Day. 

Make a plan and go vote early this weekend, or get out and make your voice heard on November 5.

Dear white women:

My prayer is that slowly, one by one, you are realizing that you and your daughters are FAR safer in the company of Black and Brown women,

than you ever were in the company of white men.

Vote blue the whole ballot!

Thousands stay in halfway houses daily, yet there are TONS we don’t know about these facilities.

Halfway houses are an extension of the carceral experience and should be under the same scrutiny.
