[NEWS] Despite Supreme Court ruling, we must not criminalize homelessness

An op/ed penned by Sister Mary regarding the Supreme Court's Grants Pass decision was published this week in the Philadelphia Inquirer.

But as a nation, rather than ramping up efforts to address the human and social crisis, we have regressed in our commitment — and now, in this shocking ruling from our highest court, we have basically codified that there is no ultimate national responsibility to our poorest and more vulnerable citizens."
