How does the criminalization of unhoused people infringe upon the rights of everyone? Join host Ashia Skye for a conversation with Muneeba Talukder, a dedicated staff attorney at the ACLU of North Carolina, Sarah Norris, an advocate and organizer with a background in education justice and mutual aid, and Pip Flickinger, a passionate community advocate with personal experience of housing insecurity, as they all share their experiences and stories of their commitment to combating the criminalization of unhoused people during a protest demonstration in Asheville, NC. Learn more about the unjust nature of laws that criminalize basic survival activities, which further marginalize unhoused individuals and deter activism by imposing punitive measures. Learn how these laws contribute to the dehumanization and second-class citizenship of unhoused people, and why it's important to advocate for community solidarity and robust networks to challenge harmful policies. Tune in for insights into the policy-driven nature of criminalizing unhoused people, advice on advocating for empathy-driven narrative changes, and how you can support those most affected.
Today's episode of This is How is hosted by Ashia Skye (she/her), presented by ACLU of North Carolina, and produced by Earfluence.
