DESCRIPTION: You can find a recording of this event here.\n \nJoin the ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter, the ACS At-Large Chapter, the ACS Los Angeles Lawyer Chapter, the ACS Sacramento Lawyer Chapter, and the ACS San Diego Lawyer Chapter for a discussion of the Ninth Circuit’s decision in Martin v. Boise and current homelessness policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. In Martin, the Ninth Circuit held that governments cannot criminalize conduct that is the “unavoidable consequence” of being unhoused if the government cannot provide accessible indoor shelter. In California, home to more than 150,000 unhoused people, the COVID-19 pandemic has compelled local and state government officials to move away from a criminalization approach to homelessness and towards a rapid effort to provide shelter. \n\nThis online panel discussion will cover the Martin litigation, how the case was beginning to influence governmental responses to homelessness before the COVID-19 pandemic, and overview the important constitutional questions relating to the rights of unhoused people during this public health crisis. \n\nFeaturing:\n\nTristia Bauman, Senior Staff Attorney, National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty\nZoe Savitsky, Deputy City Attorney, Oakland City Attorney’s Office\nThomas Zito, Supervising Attorney, Disability Rights Advocates\n\nModerated by:\n\nJamie Crook, Senior Staff Attorney, ACLU Foundation of Northern California; Member, ACS Bay Area Lawyer Chapter Board of Directors\n\nThis event has been approved for 1.0 hour of CA MCLE credit. You can find supporting CLE documentation here.\n\nAttendees will be sent dial-in information upon registration. \n \nAs the nation's leading progressive legal organization, ACS is committed to ensuring that all aspects of our events are accessible and enjoyable for all.
