30 & 60-day limits on shelter are inhumane & harmful to families. With 1,660 new arrivals denied shelter since May, we need transparency from our gov’t to expose how these policies destabilize families & their access to government services, including their children’s schooling.

Truth, End Homelessness. "Caring about people experiencing homelessness" is about seeing and TREATING them as human beings instead of as outcasts unworthy of acknowledgment and ♥️. Too often, way too many of us forget this.

I’m so grateful to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her collaboration on Social Housing! The HOMES Act mirrors our NY Social Housing Development Authority bill that we introduced with Senator Cordell Cleare this past session. Together, we can guarantee everyone in the U.S. has a safe, cute, affordable home!

How can we solve homelessness? "This admin must redirect funds and resources from carceral responses and prioritize access to affordable, safe, inclusive housing with compassionate voluntary support services." -Siya Hegde NHLC Attorney testifying at the White House yesterday.

"To combat the criminalization of homelessness and poverty, our movement calls for an urgent, federal anti-criminalization agenda with racial equity and anti-discrimination mandates at the forefront of advancing the human right to housing." - Siya Hegde #HousingNotHandcuffs

The tenets we must enforce under international human rights law are sacred. Without them, we are no democracy. ⬇️ Calling The White House for a federal anti-criminalization agenda w/racial equity & anti-discrimination mandates, and pushing a human right to #housing.

No one should be shot over $2.90. I am deeply disturbed and outraged by the NYPD’s decision to open fire on a subway platform in Brooklyn at someone suspected of fare evasion.

Even before facing corruption charges, Adams was failing New Yorkers. He needs to go—and we can't let the wealthy and powerful who backed him anoint a successor. jacobin.com/2024/09/zohran…
