The Fourth Annual Solidarity Summit on Homelessness is scheduled for Saturday, September 13, hosted by the Sacramento Homeless Organizing Committee (SHOC) and the Sacramento Poor People’s Campaign, with many other community sponsors. The event will be held at the First United Methodist Church, located at 21st and J streets in Sacramento, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

This all-day event provides a space for the movement to gather, network, and explore the different organizations that involve and assist our unhoused and low-income community.

This year we will provide a mini-spa for selfcare, legal clinic referrals and information, art activities for children, and music! Our central focus will be a teach-in facilitated by Dr. Flo Cofer and members of the Solidarity Summit Core Planning Team and others. “Organizing For Survival and Building Community” will address the need for organizing from a number of different perspectives, including voting and running for office, and how that relates to building a movement and confronting fascism.

This year, as we have done every year, we will stand against the attacks on our Black, migrant, indigenous, and undocumented community, the attacks on the social safety net (including MediCal and Food Stamps (SNAP)), the ongoing genocide in Palestine, and with oppressed people all over the world who are bearing the brunt of US militarism and aggression, as in the Sudan, Congo, and Haiti.

As it becomes available, we will share additional information about the program and how we can assist with shuttling from local encampments or travel arrangements. Last year, we had over 100 attendees!
