November 12, 2021 by Jonathan Leave a Comment

Ending Homelessness and Promoting Racial Equity Through the Human Right to Housing: What’s Happening On the Hill

 

Date: Monday, November 15, 2021

Time: 12:30 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET

Format: Free non-CLE Webinar

Sponsor: ABA Section of Civil Rights and Social Justice

 

DESCRIPTION:

With a COVID-19-induced eviction crisis still impacting millions of renters, unsheltered homelessness at levels not seen since the Great Depression, and all of this disparately impacting Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, there is lots of action happening at the federal level to address housing and homelessness issues. This webinar will offer an inside view into current legislative efforts and share voices with lived expertise to ground the discussion in real-world experience. Webinar attendees will learn about background information on the housing and homelessness crises in America, the disparate racial impact of this crisis and the need for policy tailored to that impact, efforts to increase housing and homeless funding through the budget and infrastructure packages, and other key bills to implement the human right to housing and create housing justice in America. Come and learn about recent efforts and the role you as a lawyer can play in ending homelessness. 

Speakers:

  • Representative Cori Bush – U.S. Representative for Missouri’s 1st District
  • Paul Boden – Executive Director, Western Regional Advocacy Project
  • Sarah Saadian – Vice President of Public Policy, National Low Income Housing Coalition

 

Moderator:

  • Eric Tars – Legal Director, National Homelessness Law Center

One of the questions we asked people we love about One of the questions we asked people we love about this continuing forty-year process of addressing the root causes of homelessness in America was recognizing that our comrade Paul has also been fighting this neoliberal bullshit for forty years. In earlier emails people spoke about the importance of WRAP. Here is what some of our friends had to say about Paul’s role over the last forty years. https://conta.cc/3vbUnUx

A lot of work done addressing oppressions across t A lot of work done addressing oppressions across the country takes place in courtrooms and legislative bodies. This work is not always successful due to the fact that the oppressors are the ones making the laws. But we know you can’t fight a system if you don’t know the ins and outs of how that system works.  https://conta.cc/3VQrVDl
