Good afternoon Law Center supporters, 
 
Two months ago, the Supreme Court[[link removed]] announced they would hear Johnson v. Grants Pass, the most important case about homelessness in over forty years. Since then, we’ve witnessed an incredible whirlwind of community organizing and power-building. In the past two months, we have:  
Hosted a webinar with over 1,000 people[[link removed]]   Launched national polling and message testing  Organized hundreds of organizations to sign on to friend-of-the-court briefs   Launched a video campaign on social media[[link removed]]  Used the media to share our message with outlets, including Al Jazeera English[[link removed]], WGN Chicago[[link removed]], and the Citations Needed
podcast[[link removed]].  
 
None of this would have been possible without your ongoing and generous support. Check out our website[[link removed]] to learn how to plug into our work to win this case and ensure everyone has the housing they need to thrive. And, if you’re able, please consider making a donation[[link removed]] to support this work.  
 
We have a jam-packed few months leading up to the Court’s oral arguments on April 22nd. See below for ways to stay involved.   
 
WEBINAR: Homelessness and the Supreme Court, Using Narrative to Expand Support for Compassionate Solutions 
 

 
Johnson v. Grants Pass will have huge implications for how the country addresses homelessness. With more people paying attention to the issue, it's an opportunity to elevate solutions that respect the rights and dignity of people who are unhoused, and address community concerns. How can housing and advocacy organizations communicate about this case to expand broad public support for compassionate, proven solutions to homelessness? Join three key leaders in a conversation about how research, experience, and strategy inform their communications
about this case.

RALLY IN D.C. ON APRIL 22ND 
 
 
The National Homelessness Law Center, the National Coalition for the Homeless and a growing list of partners from around the country will rally at the courthouse on the day of the oral arguments. We need your help to show SCOTUS, Congress, and the media that homelessness is not a crime, and that criminalization makes homelessness worse. The only solution to homelessness is ensuring that everyone has a safe and dignified home to sleep in. 
 
The rally will feature homeless activists, organizers, and advocates speaking on the impact of this case and what will happen if SCOTUS rules in favor of either Johnson or Grants Pass.
