City Backs off from Jail Sentence due to Community Voice!! Denver Homeless Out Loud Reports

August 29, 2017 by Jonathan 1 Comment

On Thursday 8/24/17 the city attorneys backed off their original effort to throw Terese in jail for 30 days for the survival ban ticket which violated her probation from sitting in a tiny home. After seeing that the public would outcry for putting someone in jail for sitting in a sleeping bag, they changed their tone and told Terese’s lawyer that they could accept probation and community service instead. 

This is what can happen when the public speaks out for people’s rights! Lets keep this up…

The recent decision by the Denver City Council not The recent decision by the Denver City Council not to fund shelters for unhoused families has significant implications for the community. This action not only jeopardizes the safety of vulnerable children but also raises critical questions about local governance and social responsibility. We must advocate for housing justice and support policies that protect the rights of all community members. #HousingJustice #CommunityAdvocacy #SocialResponsibility #Denver #Unhoused
