<[link removed]>Friend,


Last month, the Supreme Court handed down a draconian ruling that gave cities the green light to remove homeless encampments from public land. This ruling essentially made it a crime to be unable to afford the rising costs of housing.

We’re told time and time again that only the anti-Democratic Party can save us from a reactionary right-wing Supreme Court. But California’s deep blue Governor Gavin Newsom not only welcomed the ruling, he provided a friend of the court brief urging this heartless outcome. Now he’s threatening to withhold funds from cities and counties that fail to tear down the only place that California’s rising homeless population can rest their heads and store their belongings.

Lots of myths pervade the public discourse on homelessness. People struggling with poverty are dehumanized in our media and cruelly targeted by politicians on both sides of the corrupt duopoly. Too few people know that 40% of unhoused people have jobs. But those jobs don’t pay a living wage and aren’t keeping up with the outrageous rent increases that have shot up as much as 30% – far outpacing both wages and inflation! Many Americans are just a paycheck or two away from losing their housing. It doesn’t have to be this way.

Gavin Newsom and the anti-Democratic Party work hand-in-hand with the reactionary Republicans to “solve” homelessness through the criminalization of being too poor to afford housing. Newsom is eager to punish cities and counties that refuse to treat human beings like trash to be swept off the streets and thrown in jail for the “crime” of poverty.

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 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 is fighting for a livable minimum wage of at least $25 an hour that will assure American workers are paid fairly for their labor and can afford stable housing.

Friend, can you donate today to make sure that Jill’s humanistic vision that puts people over profits is on the ballot all over the nation? <[link removed]>

<[link removed]>DONATE <[link removed]>Real estate developers flood both wings of the duopoly with millions of dollars in Super PAC money that has made it lucrative for politicians to declare war upon the poor instead of embracing solutions that put people first. But Jill doesn’t take a penny of corporate PAC money. Jill’s campaign is funded by people like you, and she only answers to the people.

As always, thank you so much for your support.

In solidarity and gratitude,

Team Jill Stein
