We need as many organizations and individuals to sign on as possible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n WHAT IS SB 1011?<\/strong> This bill is similar to last year’s SB 31 (Jones), which the EREN coalition successfully killed. SB 1011 would prohibit sitting, lying, sleeping, or storing personal property within 500 feet of any public or private school, open space, or major transit stop, making large swaths of cities off-limits to unhoused neighbors. It would also prohibit being on any sidewalk or street anywhere<\/strong> if a homeless shelter is \u201cavailable.” Please see the attached one-pager for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HOW WOULD SB 1011 HARM OUR COMMUNITIES?<\/strong> SB 1011 would criminalize the very existence of our unhoused neighbors in public spaces state-wide. We are gravely concerned that SB 1011 would further demonize, destabilize, criminalize, and violate the human rights of unhoused Californians while failing to address the underlying driver of houselessness: the lack of affordable and accessible housing to Californians with the lowest incomes. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" HUFF presents more Free Form Follies with yet another \u00a0“Loose Cannon” Informal Meeting at Sub Rosa 4-4-24 1:30 PM\u00a0– 3:30 PM at the Sub Rose 703 Pacific next to the Bike Church \u00a0 HUFF “Loose Cannon” Agenda Suggestions 4-4-24 \u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002\u2002At the … Continue reading
