<[link removed]>Friend,

Every four years we’re told that only the anti-Democratic Party can save us from a far right-wing Supreme Court.

It’s true that our current Supreme Court has been carrying out a reactionary, far right agenda, handing down decision after decision that puts corporations over people and strips away human rights. One such recent decision was Grants Pass v. Johnson, which opened the door to the widespread criminalization of the unhoused when SCOTUS ruled that they could be arrested for the very act of sleeping in public, even without the ability to seek indoor shelter. In other words, simply being unhoused has been deemed a criminal offense!

While it’s easy to jump to the conclusion that the horrors of a Supreme Court with a majority of Justices hand-picked by right wing Republicans makes the Republican Party the main culprits in such a disturbing decision, this dehumanizing treatment of the unhoused has been a bi-partisan affair.

California has seen a sharp rise in homeless encampments as the inequities of the economy deepen. Gavin Newsom, the Governor of California and rising star of the anti-Democratic Party, provided a friend of the court brief in the Grants Pass v. Johnson case, urging the Supreme Court to grant him the power to sweep homeless encampments from the streets, as if the real people struggling to survive are nothing more than trash to be hidden from public sight and tossed in jail for the crime of poverty!

This week, Governor Newsom took full advantage of the powers bestowed upon him from the Supreme Court and ordered a full sweep of homeless encampments, bellowing “No more excuses!” to city officials in carrying out the cruel dismantling of the only place so many unhoused people can use as shelter and throwing them in jail.

Jill Stein believes that housing is a human right. Under Jill’s administration, she’ll take on the crisis of housing with a Homes Guarantee, a plan to build 15 million green, union built public housing units over the next 10 years, and implement universal rent control to rein in the surging rental costs that are pricing working people out of the housing market and into the streets. Jill will make sure people get the help they need to tackle addiction by ending the destructive war on drugs and taking corporate profit out of healthcare with Medicare For All.

Friend, can you donate today to give the voters the choice to vote for a candidate who isn’t beholden to the billionaire class and will fight for the dignity and protection of all people? <[link removed]>

<[link removed]>DONATE <[link removed]>The problem of unhoused people in the richest nation on earth can only be solved by tackling corporate greed and income inequality. Both wings of the corrupt duopoly are content to throw unhoused people in jail as a “solution” to the optics of homelessness instead offering empowering policies that make sure every human being has the security of a home.

Thank you for your support of Jill’s people powered campaign.

In gratitude and solidarity,

Jill Stein for President
