Episode 186 - The Fight for Homeless Justice in Austin, with Chris Harris

Austin has seen a major campaign away from the criminalization of homelessness over the last two years. But that effort is running into a backlash, and there will be a city referendum on May 1st to determine if the reforms will be overturned. We've got organizer Chris Harris on to talk about the fight for homeless justice, how the reform efforts have played out, and the state of the referendum campaign. The No on Prop B website can be found here. The story of Philly Mayor Jim Kenney's attempt to outlaw spitting is here.
