📢 TAKE ACTION 📢 The National Park Service and the Bowser administration are slated to evict and permanently close five encampment sites in Foggy Bottom, displacing up to 70 people. Please join us in urging policymakers to halt this evictions today: bit.ly/3y6MQuG
In Street Sense's new issue, you'll find a story from one of our interns about the police detaining a pregnant Black woman during an encampment closure. Police held the woman, Tavoncia, in a police van for an hour, handcuffed, while the city cleared her encampment. (1/4)
Here at important event at SCOTUS to attest to importance of: housing = justice Housing = health = life Housing is a human right The community is leading on transformative justice for our unhoused neighbors across the country TY @WashingtonPffc, @WashLegalClinic @homeless_law
We are here, opposing the criminalization of poverty and homelessness at our highest court.

The proposed FY25 budget IS a “shared sacrifice,” but only among the residents that have the least left to give & struggle the most to survive in D.C. Slashing resources for fundamental needs can’t be the default solution for a balanced budget. #DCBudget @councilofdc
Proud to sign onto this amicus to support the rights of those without homes, and to oppose the criminalization of homelessness and poverty.

We were at the Wilson Building today to demand that Mayor Bowser provide shelter to unsheltered migrant families who are currently sleeping in cars and on the streets. Migrants spoke powerfully about their experience. The demand is clear - no kids on the street.
Supporting trafficking survivors means addressing their housing needs. Last week, we partnered with @WashLegalClinic to train on legal rights for emergency shelter in DC. Grateful for their incredible training and advocacy for access to shelter. Together we can make a difference!
.@MayorBowser continues to evict encampments, often w/ little notice. This is traumatic & makes ending homelessness harder. This articles shows the harm & maps repeated displacement. Great quotes from our partners @miriamskitchen @WashLegalClinic & @NationalHomeles
I spent months following up with a handful of the dozens of people who were displaced after the National Park Service shut down DC’s largest homeless encampment in McPherson Square. What happened after they scattered? They were evicted again and again. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/…
I volunteer with @WashLegalClinic, an amazing org helping unhoused folks advocate for their rights. This work let’s me see how all the red tape Congress puts up block the exact folks who need these supports the most from accessing these meager benefits. And it is infuriating
Who is the District’s comeback for? I just circulated the following letter to my Council colleagues ahead of our first budget vote, to make clear that everyday Washingtonians should come first in our comeback plan.
With a coalition of 65+ organizations & advocates, we urge @councilofdc and the DC Dept of Corrections to allow incarcerated DC residents direct access to and participation in their government! Read our letter here: washlaw.org/supporting-acc…
all of these are cheaper and less violent than using law enforcement to clear homeless encampments
Just a reminder as the Bowser Administration seems to be intensifying encampment clearings (again), there are non-harmful solutions to encampments. The primary solution must be housing. @thewayhomeDC @FairBudgetDC
Common sense solutions to homelessness do not include not funding PSH.
