A big thanks to everyone who participated in Friday’s “Celebrate our Right to Exist” event at UN Plaza. We had a great turnout and an outstanding lineup of speakers and performances. Western Regional Advocacy Project (WRAP) organized the event in collaboration with National Heath Care for the Homeless Council which was holding it’s annual conference in San Francisco from June 3-5.
Said Paul Boden of WRAP in an SF Appeal article previewing the event: “One thing all health care providers will tell you is the proliferation of these sit/lie laws around the country have had a dramatic effect on their homeless clients, especially mentally ill clients.”
