Kindness matters, but kindness does not equal justice. Unity matters, but calls for unity are often about maintaining an unjust status quo. Civility matters, but civility without justice equals false peace. We need true peace, which includes justice. Let's unite for that.

Pleased to have signed this on behalf of NACCOM 🧡 calling on govt to rethink proposals in the #CriminalJusticeBill which effectively criminalise rough sleeping. Especially galling at a time when data shows huge increases in Home Office evictions causing homelessness 😡
