The solution to poverty is money. The solution to homelessness is housing. It’s really that simple.
This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇

We are deeply saddened by the recent assault of an Asian elder in SF, allegedly by James Ramsey, a Black disabled man with a history of mental illness. We are praying for her full recovery. This is a systemic failure - all violence is state violence. Read our full statement:

Therapists did not invent talking as a tool for providing support and relieving mental distress. Healers and elders have been sharing guidance and wisdom, bearing witness, listening deeply, and offering counsel for generations.
