<p align="center" style="margin: 0in; text-align: center; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Congresswoman Bush Statement on
Supreme Court Grants Pass v Johnson Decision<o:p></o:p>

<p style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">“Como alguien que no ha tenido vivienda, sé que nadie planea quedarse
sin hogar. Castigar a nuestras comunidades más vulnerables y marginadas por la
incapacidad de nuestro gobierno de albergar a su propia gente es atroz, y eso
es exactamente lo que la Corte Suprema ha dado luz verde hoy. El Tribunal
Supremo de nuestra nación aplastó los derechos civiles y constitucionales de
las personas sin vivienda al permitir que las ciudades multaran, multaran o
encarcelaran a personas por dormir al aire libre, incluso en casos en los que
no tenían otro lugar a donde ir. Penalizar a nuestros vecinos sin vivienda no sólo
es cruel e inhumano, sino que exacerba aún más la crisis de la falta de
vivienda al desestabilizar la vida de las personas y aumentar la probabilidad
de que se queden crónicamente sin hogar. Casi el 40 por ciento de la población
sin vivienda es negra, y los negros se encuentran entre los que corren mayor
riesgo de ser criminalizados, vigilados y acosados. No permitiremos que este
Tribunal MAGA se salga con la suya con este vil acto de inhumanidad.
Continuaremos luchando para reformar y ampliar la Corte, al mismo tiempo que
defendemos soluciones reales y tangibles a la crisis de personas sin vivienda,
como mi Declaración de Derechos de Personas sin Vivienda, vales de vivienda
universales, programas federales permanentes de asistencia para el alquiler y garantizando
la vivienda como un derecho humano”.<o:p></o:p>

“As someone who has been unhoused, I know that no one ever plans to be
homeless. Punishing our most vulnerable and marginalized communities for our
government’s failure to house its own people is heinous – and that’s exactly
what the Supreme Court has greenlit today. Our nation’s highest Court
steamrolled the civil and constitutional rights of unhoused people by allowing
cities to fine, ticket, or jail people for sleeping outside, even in cases
where there is nowhere else for them to go. Penalizing our unhoused neighbors
isn’t just cruel and inhumane, it further exacerbates the unhoused crisis by
destabilizing people’s lives and increasing the likelihood of people becoming
chronically homeless. Nearly 40 percent of the unhoused population is Black,
and Black people are among the most at risk of being criminalized, surveilled,
and harassed. We will not allow this MAGA Court to get away with this vile act
of inhumanity. We will continue to fight to reform and expand the Court, while
simultaneously championing real, tangible solutions to the unhoused crisis like
my Unhoused Bill of Rights, universal housing vouchers, permanent federal
rental assistance programs, and guaranteeing housing as a human right.”<o:p></o:p>

Amendment, and further <a href="https://bush.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-bush-colleagues-hold-press-conference-at-supreme-court-ahead-of-oral-arguments-for-grants-pass-v-johnson">spoke out in front of the Court</a> urging the Court to uphold the
