ACLU's August People Power Action Call: Housing, Not Handcuffs

  • Virtual event - Join from anywhere! (map)

Everyone deserves a safe place to live.

Instead of investing in housing and supportive services, the Trump Administration is trying to arrest its way out of a housing crisis.

On Wednesday, August 26th at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT, join the ACLU for our August People Power Action Call: Housing Not Handcuffs. Together, we'll explore how the Trump Administration's playbook of cruelty against the unhoused is diluting civil rights for all Americans, and what activists can do to fight back.

You'll hear from two guest speakers: Tara Stutsman, the ACLU's Deputy Director of National Justice Campaigns, and Jessie Rabinowitz, Campaigns and Communications Director of the National Homelessness Law Center. They'll unpack why and how the Trump Administration has attacked unhoused people's civil rights, and what these attacks mean for our democracy.

During the call, you can expect to:

  • Learn how federal attacks on unhoused people are encouraging states and cities to criminalize homelessness

  • Understand the Trump administration's efforts to violate civil rights by increasing the use of involuntary commitment

  • Hear how investments in housing and supportive services can help protect our neighbors

  • Take action to support policies that protect housing, dignity, and civil rights.

No one should live in fear because of their housing status. Join us on August 26th.
