August 12, 2022 by Jonathan 1 Comment

Open Letter to Governor Newsom August-11-2022Download

Dear Allies,

Thank you to everyone who signed the open letter to Governor Newsom urging him to reconsider his CARE Court proposal. There were over 500 signatories!

Yesterday, Disability Rights California staff along with other disability and housing advocates hand delivered the letter to Governor Newsom’s office. Attached is a PDF copy of the letter and it is posted on DRC’s website at https://www.disabilityrightsca.org/latest-news/open-letter-to-governor-newsom-we-do-not-need-care-court-sb-1338.

Over the next few weeks, DRC will share the letter with all members of the Legislature before the final votes.

In solidarity,

Jenny Olson

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.

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
