The New 'Ugly' Laws: How People Are Pushing Back On America's War on the Houseless
In the late 1800s, many big cities used laws against "ugliness" to cleanse the streets of the disabled, the poor, and the homeless. Fast forward to today, and in the middle of a deepening housing crisis and extreme weather, cities are breaking up encampments and passing new laws to target the most vulnerable. On this episode of It Could Happen Here, guest hosted by It's Going Down, we speak with former squatters, activists resisting sweeps, and houseless folks facing down eviction - to find out how people are pushing back against displacement.
