You think that's bad? The shelter with the most capacity in the area, Medford Gospel Mission, forces you to sign a religious conversion contract into some specific denomination of Christianity. Jews, Muslims, Pagans, Catholics and other denominations, and the rest aren't welcome.

I think they would like it that they all go away and die.

Land of the (not so ) Free....

Thank you for amplifying this!

@marwilliamson I volunteer to care for these folks every week in Medford, and they are being criminalized for the crime of being poor. We so appreciate you speaking out against true evil in our midst. Please spread the word about our mutual aid effort. <3 soequity.org/hawthorne

Your free to invite them to your place.....👍

Not alowing people to sleep in their cars sounds distinctly "unamerican".

Marianne they don’t care where they go they just want them to leave where they are and become someone else’s problem. This is the way our government has chosen to handle situations that are uncomfortable and hard to take in. #grossnegligence

I asked myself the same question when it happened here in Chattanooga. Local governing officials only show support and create legislation for homeless when it's election time. They rely on good hearted citizens, churches, and non profit agencies to fix their problems with this.
