    Louisiana made a law that not only makes it a crime to sleep outside, but also paved the way to push homeless people into forced treatment and unpaid labor. Cicero also supports Utah’s plan to create a remote, government-run facility that will hold up to 1,300 people experiencing homelessness. And while these laws hurt us all, they hurt Black, brown, queer, immigrant, Indigenous, and disabled communities first and worst.

    Heeeeey! This sounds familiar… I think I’ve seen this one before… Mmmm… Could it be slavery? Nah! I must be mistaken. Slavery has been outlawed millennia ago … Right?
