On June 28, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that a community in Oregon can cite, fine and arrest people for sleeping outdoors, even when there is not enough shelter space or housing. It will leave society’s most vulnerable with fewer protections.
Sitting is not a crime.
Resting is not a crime.
Sleeping is not a crime.
Camping is not a crime.
Being poor is not a crime.
Needing help is not a crime.
Homelessness is not a crime, it’s a policy failure.
BREAKING: Supreme Court ruling on #JohnsonVGrantsPass will make the homelessness crisis worse. Arresting and fining people for trying to survive is expensive, counterproductive, and cruel. The fight does not end here.
