I have signed this letter on behalf of St Petrock's calling on the Home Secretary to reconsider parts of the #CriminalJusticeBill that would lead to the criminalisation of #RoughSleepers
Crisis Ben Bradshaw Steve Race for Exeter💙💛 Simon Jupp MP

He must reconsider proposals to criminalise people forced to sleep on our streets, and focus on addressing the causes of #homelessness instead.
We've joined 36 other organisations urging James Cleverly🇬🇧 to rethink proposals in the #CriminalJusticeBill that would fine and imprison people simply because they're forced to sleep rough. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

🚨 Threatening people sleeping rough with fines & prison will marginalise people facing homelessness.

A blatant lie Victoria Atkins. It's on page 76 of the bill. Another gem on the page is the offence of 'giving the appearance of intending to sleep rough'. It's Orwellian. Remove it Home Office James Cleverly🇬🇧 #criminaljusticebill #cjb #homelessness
Yesterday Jasmine Amber our Head of Campaigns & Policy was on BBC Radio 2 talking to Jeremy Vine about the callous, dehumanising effect the #CriminalJusticeBill will have on people forced to sleep rough. Tell your MP what you think of these plans: campaigns.crisis.org.uk/page/142013/ac…

.Matt Downie demonstrated #criminaljusticebill is another symptom of government tackling inequality and social injustice through siloed policy. Left had does not understand right hand. If Health, Housing, welfare and Justice ministers aren’t working together homelessness…
Please RT and consider signing our parliamentary petition calling on government to remove sections from #CriminalJusticeBill related to rough sleeping & begging.

'We should treat people who are homeless with dignity and humanity – not with the threat of police action.'
If passed the #CriminalJusticeBill would mean people who are homeless in England and Wales could face fines or even prison for rough sleeping.
You can help prevent this.
