You can also watch from home as Republicans in the #KSleg try to criminalize homelessness:

@judgeglock is the Texas carpetbagger giving proponent testimony before the #KSleg.

He JUST arrived in #Kansas via the new #KCI airport:

Glock is from the @InstituteCicero.

This is their all-white board that has decided it's their mission to tell #KSleg legislators to vote for criminalizing homelessness.

Missouri just passed a similar version of this bill, which the @InstituteCicero was similarly quoted in as it's part of their crusade against homelessness:

Part of what @judgeglock and his boss @JTLonsdale are doing is leading the national campaign to criminalize homelessness.

Their propaganda campaign has even reached the @WSJ:

Why are Glock and Lonsdale so concerned about #Kansas?

Lonsdale was Editor-in-Chief of The Stanford Review, a libertarian school paper.

He knows that if we don't support housing and shelter it will lower the burden on taxpayers, so arrest them.

And that is their entire point.

During their testimony, there were NO other proponents.

All of the opponents live in Kansas. They have lived experiences working with Kansans to address these issues.

So take note of who #KSleg listens to as they vote on this bill:

If you want to end homelessness, here are two resources that do not have a libertarian political agenda:

1) endhomelessness.org/ending-homeles…

And 2) support those organizations that support people that are unhoused.

In #KCK, that's @CrossLinesKCKS

I'm proud to support them. I would invite you, and even Venture Capitalist @JTLonsdale, to support their efforts to ACTUALLY help take care of people without a home.

And to underline my point about @CrossLinesKCKS, I am so proud to see the expert testimony given by Rob Santel and @Rachel4KCKPS.

Unlike the snake oil peddled by @InstituteCicero, they know what they're talking about.

They are doing the Lord's work today.

Give them a listen!

The full list of opponents to this heinous bill is below:

Lots of #KCK friends and advocates showed up.

They all deserve credit for speaking up and speaking out.
