Sleeping Bag Drive

Thank you to all who participated in SHOC’s sleeping bag drive this past month! Most people donated money — we received $1,030. We bought 42 sleeping bags and passed them out to people living outdoors in need of extra warmth this winter.

Some people donated several sleeping bags we hung onto for emergency requests.

(If you still want to donate sleeping bags, Mercy Pedalers is distributing them and also Sacramento Loaves & Fishes distributes cold weather gear to their guests.)

No No-fault Evictions

(No SHOC meeting this Tuesday, November 4)

Pass an Emergency Moratorium On No-Cause Evictions! On January 1, 2020, AB 1482, the Tenant Protection Act goes into effect. So landlords are hurrying up and giving out 60-day no-fault eviction notices to beat this law. Communities across California are facing this same problem of landlords evicting tenants at increased rates, and City and County jurisdictions are having to step up with emergency ordinances to protect tenants.

Sign a petition to Sacramento Board of Supervisors and come out Tuesday, November 5th to show community support for emergency tenant protections. Gather at 9:30. Meeting at 11am.

STATEWIDE TRUTH AND POVERTY BUS TOUR
Witnessing and Listening to the People

April 3rd – April 13th, California Poor People’s Campaign will travel across our state to highlight the REAL EMERGENCY!

“We have real socio-political and moral emergencies–they are the ongoing realities of systemic racism, systemic poverty, ecological devastation the war economy/militarism and the false moral narrative of religious nationalism,” said the Rev. Barber. “These are not are not left or right, but moral issues that must be addressed. Democrats haven’t done enough to make things better and Republicans do too much to make things worse.”

In a country with 140 million poor and low income residents, we declare a STATE OF EMERGENCY! We will shine a light on the TRUTH of the level of poverty this nation promotes, encourages, enforces and then criminalizes. We will be holding Public Hearings and site visits at 8 locations across California from April 3rd to April 13th. On the 8th, we are asking all locations to join us in Fresno for the Statewide Public Hearing.
