Organizers in Oregon, Colorado and California are working collaboratively to pass the Right to Rest bills in each of our states. We created this legislation together based in 1000's of outreach surveys to the houseless community about their experience with criminalization.
In Oregon, the Right to Rest Bill (SB 629) is currently in the Human Services and Early Childhood committee and we need your help!
Thank you to those who already sent a letter - we really appreciate it and you! But we need many more letters sent today, tomorrow and early next week telling the committee members that you support this bill and why its important to you.
We had a great hearing on March 12th and the committee heard powerful testimony from us for more than 90 minutes, all based in the community and our powerful research. But we need your help today!
Attached is a letter template - it can come from you as an individual or your organization (please use your letterhead) but its important that the committee members know that you care, and you are watching and that we all will stand up together for basic human rights for people experiencing homelessness.
Also, please consider supporting this work with a donation of any size http://wraphome.org/support-us/donate - WRAP is working on a shoestring budget and your support, all of our support, keeps this important work going- thank you!
