Arresting and fining people for sleeping on the streets is ineffective and keeps people homeless for longer. There are alternatives to arresting people that communities can act on now. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

Today, as SCOTUS hears #JohnsonVGrantsPass, let’s remember there are alternatives to arresting people experiencing homelessness that communities can act on now. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

Arresting or fining people experiencing homelessness isn’t just ineffective; it worsens the issue. As #SCOTUS hears #JohnsonVGrantsPass, we must advocate for humanity and #HousingNotHandcuffs. #HomelessnessIsSolvable

Sleeping outside isn’t a crime; it’s a clear sign we need more affordable housing. Today’s SCOTUS hearing on #JohnsonVGrantsPass could be a turning point. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

As #SCOTUS deliberates on #JohnsonVGrantsPass, let’s remember: penalizing homelessness worsens the problem. We need housing solutions, not fines. 🏘️  #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

Imagine being fined or arrested for not having a place to sleep. A case that could rule in that favor is currently being heard at the Supreme Court. We need compassionate solutions, not penalties. #JohnsonVGrantsPass #HomelessnessIsSolvable #HousingNotHandcuffs

🚨If #SCOTUS rules in favor of Grants Pass, it will authorize cities and states to punish people forced to sleep outdoors with arrest and steep fines. We need housing solutions, not fines 🏘️. #HomelessnessIsSolvable #JohnsonVGrantsPass #HousingNotHandcuffs
