I believe that everyone has the right to exist in public space regardless of socioeconomic status, and that nobody should be subject to harassment, exclusion, or discrimination based on their appearance or their lack of stable housing. I also believe that the rights of individuals in public space outweigh the economic interests and objectives of businesses and government. All members of our community have inherent worth as individuals regardless of their economic or financial contributions, and those who lack the ability and means to access shelter have a right to engage in life-sustaining activities in public space without fear of harassment or arrest.
