Advocates respond as Murfreesboro illegally evicts homeless camp

Jan 09, 2020 at 09:10 am by Jason Bennett


This morning at 9 a.m., a long-standing practice of evicting homeless campers from city property is being enforced on yet another large group of folks experiencing homelessness.

This practice in my opinion, and in the opinion of the U.S. Supreme Court, is unconstitutional, not to mention unhelpful and frustrating both to folks experiencing the trauma of homelessness and to those trying to help them get out of the cycle. 

Please watch this video and if you agree that the city should stop this practice, join us tonight from 7-9 p.m. on Civic Plaza to talk about and shine a light on this issue.
