Fighting the symptoms, not the disease
Imagine you are a patient, and you are becoming increasingly ill. You go to the doctor, but instead of running tests and exhausting every avenue to find out what is causing your disease, they simply give you ibuprofen to treat the symptoms and ignore the massive cancer growing in your lung.
You would call that doctor incompetent, and seek treatment elsewhere.f
Yet, despite decades of evidence that criminalizing homelessness does nothing to address the problem, the Supreme Court has chosen to prescribe another round of ibuprofen in upholding a ban on sleeping outside.
We know historic wealth and income inequality, rising rents, skyrocketing food prices, inequitable schools, and underfunded social programs for young people all trap people in this cycle of homelessness. So what good is criminalizing homelessness when the causes of the housing crisis are systemic and endemic?
Flipping the House is essential in the fight to counter the injustice of the justices on the court. I need your help to keep up the fight to pass legislation in Congress that gets to the root causes of these issues. Please join me in this fight by chipping in to our campaign today.
It is clear that this court, full of stolen seats and dishonest justices, has no interest in the health of our democracy, our citizenry, or our vulnerable populations, and it is time to do something about it. We need to take bold legislative action.
SCOTUS continues to make decisions that are devastating to democracy, our freedoms, and the social fabric of our nation. Enough is enough.
Yours in this fight,
Jim
