🏛️ As the Supreme Court deliberates on Johnson v. Grants Pass, it’s crucial to remember: Housing, not handcuffs, is the solution to homelessness. Penalizing our most vulnerable citizens doesn’t solve the crisis—it exacerbates it. #HousingNotHandcuffs
Hundreds of advocates from around the country lie down with blankets in front of #SCOTUS . If they were in Grant’s Pass, they would give you a $295 ticket for sleeping with a blanket.

📸 ICYMI: On Monday, the SPLC joined the national #HousingNotHandcuffs campaign to rally at the #SupremeCourt .
The Johnson v. Grants Pass case is an opportunity for the court to stop cities from punishing people experiencing homelessness who have no choice but to sleep outside.
His crime was being in the bathroom to escape the cold and rain and then not moving his belongings out fast enough. #HousingNotHandcuffs
Today at #SCOTUS w/ our @vocalnewyork @vocalkentucky family.
#JohnsonVGrantsPass will decide if cities can continue to punish people for experiencing homelessness. Hundreds mobilized from across the country to say loud and clear: #SCOTUS must choose #HousingNotHandcuffs .
Communities deserve housing, not handcuffs. Listen to Mercedes Elizalde discuss why arresting people doesn’t solve the housing crisis. We deserve real solutions like housing, healthcare, and support services! #housingnothandcuffs
We joined 30+ SF orgs in filing an amicus curiae brief in Grants Pass v. Johnson—a Supreme Court case that will decide if ppl can be criminalized for being too poor to afford rent. SF & CA leaders, fulfill your promise: housing-first to end homelessness. #HousingNotHandcuffs
What you missed today at Public Comment:
In response to City of San Diego 's violation of 8th amendment rights and our testimony on how policing didn't end our homelessness; listeners heard some of the most hateful language from some housed racists. #ENDHATE #HOUSINGNOTHANDCUFFS
Criminalizing homelessness is not the answer to the lack of affordable housing in KY. HB5's houseless provisions will simply further marginalize the most vulnerable in our communities. #housingnothandcuffs #servicesnotsweeps

A photojournalist asked me yesterday why I do this, she's seen me out here for yrs & yrs?
The answer that popped into my head was rather surprising, given my longtime antiwar activity:
'I was raised by Marines, Leave No One Behind.'
#HousingNotHandcuffs #LeaveNoOneBehind
The City of Phoenix, AZ and the Phoenix Police violated a court order by arresting and convicting the unhoused. 62 arrests. 9 convictions so far. All for existing on the sidewalk. What a bold move to completely ignore the federal order. #HousingNotHandcuffs

I made this sign I hold while homeless in 2014 in my college notebook. This picture, by Nathan Howard, of me at Monday's #HousingNotHandcuffs Rally in front of SCOTUS re: #GrantsPass was ft. in Reuters & The Denver Gazette.
