Episode 13: Why is the Coalition on Homelessness suing the City of San Francisco?

  • Résumé

  • On September 27th, the ACLU, Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights, and the Coalition on Homelessness—the organization that creates this podcast—filed a lawsuit against the City of San Francisco. They, and the seven homeless plaintiffs they represent, allege that the constant "sweeps" of homeless encampments carried out by numerous city agencies are unconstitutional.

    We speak with Zal Shroff and Hadley Rood, lawyers with the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights (LCCR), as well as with plaintiff and homeless activist Toro Castaño, about what this lawsuit could mean for the thousands of unsheltered San Franciscans who call this city home.

    To support the lawsuit, please report any encampment sweeps you see to the legal team using this form: https://forms.gle/fSUgkK1TEUVk7fLW6
