I'm seriously considering dropping this X account to protest Elon Musk's intent to conduct a fawning interview of Donald Trump. I'll not be part of any social media platform that promotes Trump's pathological lies.
Yes, yes, yes! @dvpeery is 100% right. No more excuses. We know how to end homelessness, & during the pandemic, political leaders showed the will (& invested the $ needed) to move people off the street and into homes, motels, or other safe spaces. Can't wait to watch the series!
We are in a crisis of escalating homelessness and poverty. Join us, 12pm April 24th at Miami Government Center to demand that government stop persecuting people of color and the poor for the "crime" of not being able to afford a home.
Homelessness results from intentional policy choices made by government leaders. It is no accident that people of color are disproportionately impacted by homelessness. The system is working exactly as intended.

As you enjoy today's Big Game, remember that the trauma of homelessness is often compounded when the NFL comes to town. 4 years ago, we got the NFL to donate $100,000 to shelter unhoused people displaced by the NFL's festivities in Miami.

"'Making it illegal to be homeless is an expensive way to make homelessness worse. We need housing, not handcuffs,' David Peery said in a press release."

A report by the National Homelessness Law Center and the @UMLawHRC contends that laws targeting the homeless, including bans on camping and loitering, violate rights to life, liberty, and "to be free from torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment."

Join us at Miami Beach City Hall on Oct 18. Demand that City Commissioners vote "no" on the proposed ordinance to arrest unhoused people for sleeping on public property.
We reject cruelty as a solution to poverty.
