Class recorded September 17, 2024

Are city ordinances unconstitutional that prohibit people from camping on public sidewalks and parkland, when those people have nowhere else to go? Can the Eighth Amendment, banning cruel and unusual punishment, be applied to contravene fines, arrests, and other enforcements that criminalize involuntary homelessness? This event will review decisions rendered by America’s courts in considering these complex questions, and reflect on the promises and limitations of the Constitution in addressing policy issues related to poverty and housing insecurity. 

Presented by: Shayla Myers, Senior Attorney at the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles' Unhoused People's Justice Project
