We oppose SB 802 because it represents a dramatic consolidation of power without clear accountability, community consent, or demonstrated effectiveness. We urge legislative leaders to reject this bill and instead invest in solutions that elevate local voices, protect community decision-making, and ensure equitable access to funding for nonprofits, developers, and residents working directly with unhoused neighbors.

Please share!

BREAKING: California lawmakers passed a massive state budget vote with just hours to spare before the July 1 deadline and the start of the new fiscal year.

The state Assembly and Senate passed a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) reform bill that included a poison pill. Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders agreed that if the bill had failed, the entire state budget would have been inoperable.

Monday evening, Newsom and other lawmakers spoke at a press conference with other lawmakers where the governor would be signing the bill into law. Tap this link to watch the governor's remarks: https://tinyurl.com/4upncapz

At tomorrows 2 PM City Council Meeting, the Mayor and Council will be voting on an amendment to an existing ordiance. This amendment would make it illegal to "Sit or lie down, except on a bench or chair supplies by the city..."

This is the first major decision related to homelessness that Mayor McCarty has introduced. Criminalizing a routine human act as a misdemeanor offense, is taking Sacramento in the wrong direction.

As people live in fear of state sanctioned violence, we must stand firm as a community and say, our unhoused neighbors deserve places to sit and lie, they deserve rest.

Investing in sustainable solutions is the only way to address the crisis. Criminalization only further breaks trust, costs money we do not have, and harms our neighbors.

Use this toolkit developed by Sacramento Regional Coalition to End Homelessness to find your councilperson. Let them know that rest is a human right!
