Hi John,
Poverty should not be a crime. But some politicians are trying to make it one.
The Supreme Court just ruled in Grants Pass v. Johnson that cities can fine or jail people simply for sleeping outside, even when they have nowhere else to go. This decision is cruel, dangerous, and deeply out of step with our values.
That’s why I just introduced new legislation with Rep. Maxwell Frost to block the federal government from funding efforts to criminalize homelessness. Our bill also puts real solutions like housing and mental health services back at the center of our response to poverty.
Instead of investing in housing, care, and services, Republicans are trying to punish people for being poor. That’s not just morally bankrupt. It’s a recipe for more suffering.
Our bill would change that, and we need your voice behind it.
👉 Will you sign on to support our new legislation to stop criminalizing homelessness?
We can’t let the GOP turn homelessness into a crime. This is our moment to fight back with compassion and uphold the dignity of every human being.
In solidarity,
Pramila Jayapal
