DESCRIPTION:In January 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the appeal of 
 Johnson v. Grants Pass, a Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that barred 
 municipalities across the western United States from punishing their 
 unhoused residents for sleeping outside, even when there are no available 
 shelter options. With its hard-right conservative majority, SCOTUS will 
 likely overturn Grants Pass, creating a devastating ripple effect for 
 homeless people across the country. Democratic leaders across local and 
 state governments have submitted amicus briefs, or “Friends of the 
 Court” briefs, in support of the overturning of Grants Pass– a 
 deliberate attempt to use the hyper conservative court to enact violence on 
 their poorest constituents.\n\nOn April 22nd, 2024, cities across the 
 country will mobilize to show their support for the rights of unhoused 
 people, demanding that the Supreme Court recognize sweeps without the offer 
 of adequate shelter constitute cruel and unusual punishment, a violation of 
 the Eighth Amendment. In San Francisco, where the Ninth Circuit Court of 
 Appeals is located and the fight for the human rights of homeless people is 
 most storied, join us in mobilizing from the Federal Building, to the State 
 Building, and then ending at City Hall on April 22nd.\nSTOP THE SWEEPS!\n\n
