Read this! We can actually strengthen our base by taking these insights seriously in our organizing and analysis. Also, what a dynamic duo!

Really proud of Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice leadership on this brief and the broad support for unhoused people in this Grants Pass v. Gloria Johnson case. Stay tuned for more, as it heads to #SCOTUS on April 22!

We have filed an amicus brief in support of those experiencing homelessness in the #JohnsonVGrantsPass #SCOTUS case. Homelessness is not personal failure, it is emblematic of a deeper social failure. An edifice which produces beggars, needs restructuring More about the case: Johnson v. Grants Pass is a class-action court case originally filed in 2018, when Grants Pass, Oregon began issuing tickets to people for sleeping on public property, even when there was no shelter available. A group of homeless individuals sued the city for criminalizing their state of homelessness, and the courts decided that it is cruel and unusual punishment to fine or arrest people for sleeping outside when they have nowhere else to go. Now, Grants Pass is trying to have that ruling overturned, giving them power to punish people for simply trying to survive. The solution to homelessness is housing. #HousingNotHandcuffs READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/gXbq8c5F

This Veterans Day, let's do more than thank our vets—support them! I'm raising funds for @CommonDefense to empower veteran-led fights for social justice. Our aim? A bold $25k for training and voter outreach. Make your donation today: https://lnkd.in/eqAn2KBN

These are dangerous and trying times, calling out for leadership that is committed to peace and justice. One of the organizations that is stepping up in this moment is Common Defense, the largest organization of progressive veterans in the country. As a board member and long-time believer in their work and leadership, this year I am going to help them raise $25,000. As we approach Veterans Day, I'm inviting you to please consider making a gift to support their work: https://lnkd.in/eqAn2KBN These funds will support the Veterans Organizing Institute to expand its vital training programs. They will also boost non-partisan voter outreach in critical states and local organizing to secure investments in clean jobs for communities in need.

via Shailly Barnes: Two years after the expansion of the Child Tax Credit, we can see the stark improvement in families' lives when the cash allowed them to cover rising costs. Removing unpopular income requirements would prime this policy for a comeback.

#Poverty is the fourth leading cause of death in the US - over 800 deaths a day. But there is an abundance of wealth and resources to meet our basic needs and ensure we all survive and thrive. Over 700 movement builders from all over the country came to DC this week with the #PoorPeoplesCampaign: A National Call for Moral Revival, not only to share our research and make our demands in our Congressional representatives offices, but to connect and build our collective power. We're bringing this fire back to our states, join us: https://lnkd.in/eCHBczTc Kairos Center for Religions, Rights, and Social Justice
