Letter to Seattle Office of Civil Rights: Request for Race Equity Analysis of Homeless Sweeps

January 19, 2016 by Alison Eisinger

Read letter from Columbia Legal Services who, joint by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, request that the City of Seattle’s Office of Human Rights “evaluate the City’s procedures and practices of sweeping homeless individuals from their places of shelter to ensure the City makes good on its commitments to race equity and social justice, and to ensure compliance with all applicable civil rights laws.”
