 SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 9 the Sacramento Homeless Organizing Committee, and 
 allied organizations, are sponsoring the 2nd Annual “Community Summit on 
 Houselessness” to bring together unhoused people, activists, advocates,

 inviting resource providers to table at the event.\n\nWe will have 
 workshops with local leaders and organizations to build our unity, fighting 
 capacity, and vision with and on behalf of the unhoused community, building 
 on the themes and lessons of last year’s summit. Join us! ·\n\n● Why 
 are so many of our African American, Latinx, and Indigenous brothers and 
 sisters houseless? What is the impact of systemic racism on the housing 
 crisis, evictions, health access and the link between incarceration and 
 homelessness? How does addressing these questions with regard to Black, 
 Brown, and Indigenous people uplift entire communities? What must be 
 done?\n\n● What’s Going On -- Current activity, engagement with City

 and Poetry in the Struggle for Solidarity How can each and every one of us, 
 through our organizations, get involved in this struggle for housing, 
 services, and humane survival strategies with and on behalf of our 
 houseless neighbors? How can art, spoken word and poetry, and culture build 
 our solidarity? Can we create A New Homeward Street Journal Art Zine – to 
 Connect Our Communities through a community houseless vendor program? Do we
