Billionaires get handouts. Homeless people get handcuffs. Make it make sense. #HousingNotHandcuffs.
Billionaires don't know how to solve homelessness.
That's why Cicero Institute bills don’t include any real solutions like housing or services. Instead, they push ineffective and wasteful policies that make homelessness worse, and make taxpayers foot the bill. @invisiblepeople.tv buff.ly/YtYIGFm

The Cicero Institute seeks to erase homeless people through criminalization rather than address the root problem of homelessness.

The USA is going backwards in time.
Louisiana just criminalized being poor. Sleep outside: arrested. Can’t pay the fine or the mandatory “treatment program”? The court orders unpaid labor for the state.
That’s not a treatment pipeline. That’s a forced labor pipeline and Republicans built it on purpose.
Cruel and inhumane.
