Experts Agree: Stop Arresting Homeless People
Manage episode 430913667 series 3589030
Discover the harsh realities of homelessness across America in this compelling episode. We explore the criminalization of homelessness, from Miami's Overtown to policies sweeping across states, both red and blue. Listen as policy experts and legal advocates discuss systemic failures and bipartisan consensus that continue to push vulnerable individuals further into the margins. We address the urgent need for housing solutions, the dangerous myths surrounding homelessness, and the pivotal Supreme Court case that could change everything. This conversation is crucial for turning the tide and restoring dignity to those living on the streets. Our guests include: David Peery, Lawyer, Activist, and Founder of Miami Coalition to Advance Racial Equity, Mari Castaldi, Director of State Housing Policy with Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
Jesse Rabinowitz, MSW, LGSW, Communications and Campaign Director at National Homelessness Law Center
