The Grants Pass decision has been a hard blow.
We need to rise and serve the people that will be impacted the most by this decision. This experience goes beyond raising awareness. It aims to help participants deeply understand the harsh realities that those experiencing homelessness face daily. By standing in solidarity and learning directly from those affected, we can drive substantial change.
National Solidarity Week is a week of active solidarity. It goes beyond mere awareness, serving as a powerful movement that fuels advocacy and fosters education on the harmful impacts of the Grants Pass verdict, which criminalizes homelessness #NCHSolidarityWeek
Our advocacy will take various forms, such as Twitter storms, Instagram posts, and other social media content highlighting the ramifications of the Grants Pass decision, local criminalization statistics, and ordinances. Additionally, we encourage direct, hands-on service, like distributing water, sunscreen, and hats to help individuals cope with the summer heat.
Join us in taking a stand, magnifying voices, and striving to create a society where everyone has a home. Together, we can make a significant impact.
Who Should Participate?
This event unequivocally welcomes everyone—advocates, individuals with first-hand experience of homelessness, and community members who care. It’s a powerful platform to disseminate information, exchange ideas with families, friends, and neighbors, thereby forging a united front against homelessness. It underscores our firm belief that we possess the resources needed to guarantee everyone a safe place to live–No one should go without housing.
Use the NSW Social Media Calendar to enhance your digital advocacy efforts.
