We have been alerted to the fact that H.B. 1925, a state-wide initiative seeks to prohibit sleeping in certain places and dissolve funding to cities that do not comply. This State-wide Prop B is inhumane and shortsighted just as its local counterpart.
This state-wide camping ban will continue to compound human trauma. The answer will never be to criminalize someone’s very existence. The answer is more funding to housing for our unhoused and wrap-around holistic service provision. The AAUL, along with other community, government, and philanthropic partners, have worked on a plan to provide real solutions— Sign The Petition!
