HandUp

06/26/2020

Our HandUp cofounders Sammie and Rose, are still active in the fight against homelessness in San Francisco. They’ve joined forces again to support Community Awareness & Treatment Services (CATS), a homeless service nonprofit that helps the most vulnerable people get off the street and find comprehensive social services.

In the era of COVID-19, Community Forward’s devoted shelter staff continue to provide critical services to their clients and residents and have taken on additional medical responsibilities, but it comes at great risk to themselves and their families.

Join Rose and Sammie in recognizing and honoring these essential workers on the front lines of COVID-19. Their campaign only has $3,000 to go and $2,000 of matching funds are currently available!

Donate here: https://handup.org/campaigns/covid

Want to learn more about how human service worker’s jobs have changed during the pandemic, who they are outside of work, and why they love what they do? Check out their staff profiles on their blog: https://communityforwardsf.org/blog

Help Covid-19 Hazard Pay for Frontline Staff meet their goal of $30,000 before June 19, 2020 by donating on HandUp.

“The global response to coronavirus outbreaks has been to order people to self-quarantine. Homeless people, by definition, have nowhere to go.”

Doctors say the country’s more than half-million homeless people are at higher risk of catching and dying from the virus.

Access to housing is a basic human right. Policies that criminalize homelessness (with up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine) will not move folks into permanent and stable housing.

Measure, which drew opposition from presidential candidates, makes it illegal to sleep on street if beds are available at shelters

His work continues, one day at a time.

Inspiration from a remarkable Nobel Laureate: Martin Luther King Jr.

King was assassinated on 4 April 1968, but his non-violent fight for freedom, justice and human rights are just as topical today as they were then.
