⚠️Most were unarmed,
⚠️About half exhibited signs of mental crisis before the dog was released,
⚠️And many were suspected only of a minor offense, or no offense at all.

We have real solutions to the urgent housing crisis in California. Research shows we need less than 6% of the state budget per year to fund affordable housing, rental support, and homelessness services.
The CA Housing Justice Act (#AB1165) calls for bold, ongoing investment—not temporary Band-Aids.

Housing is intrinsically connected to our civil rights.
Without stable housing, freedoms like privacy and equal protection under the law are at risk. This is why one-time funding initiatives like bonds aren’t enough – we need a permanent funding source dedicated to housing in California.

The wildfires devastation in Southern California is a sobering reminder of how housing precarity can affect anyone at any time. We call on our state leaders to safeguard unhoused Californians against Trump's extreme agenda and create a permanent funding source for housing access.
