Speaking truth to (em)power at the UC Berkeley Goldman School of Public Policy

[SCiPP @scipp_gspp]

Poverty is a policy choice.

[Housing 4 All is Hot @ahouse4all]

A lot of people don't have criminal records until they become unhoused - or become unhoused after their first charge that keeps them from being able to find a place to live. Then they get more and more charges due to the nature of the criminalization of the poor + survival.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

It's clear how much we revile poor people, particularly poor Black people, that so many are framing this as a story about homelessness and not a vigilante killing someone whose behavior he found distasteful. In other words: Strangling is a rational response to homelessness.

“I chose the Master of Public Policy program to hone my skills in policy analysis with a racial justice lens. My goal is to help institutions implement racial justice principles to reflect the priorities of vulnerable communities.” - Sommer Iqbal

“Everyone has a voice. There’s systems that oppress those voices. As policy advocates we are not here to be a voice for others, rather we seek to remove the barriers that prevent people from being heard.” @neeka_ #RaceAndPolicySymposium

[SCiPP @scipp_gspp]

“It’s on us to create the spaces we want to see to build a better future for our community.” @DavidtheQue

[SCiPP @scipp_gspp]

For our closing we spent time reimagining what thriving neighborhoods that meet community needs could look like.
