We stand with working people, immigrants, queer people, and poor people in opposing a proposal for a San Francisco law that would criminalize sitting or lying on public sidewalks.
Homeless people in our community are members of our community, and a law in any form that would criminalize them is morally reprehensible and contrary to the spirit of sanctuary in San Francisco.
Such a law, though designed to target homeless people, could — and we believe will — very easily be used against other valued members of our communities, such as day laborers and youth in low-income neighborhoods. The implications for free speech and shared public space are a threat for all members of our community.
