The League of Women Voters of Vermont, in partnership with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, presents the second in its 2024-25 Lecture Series on Recent Supreme Court Decisions on Wednesday December 11. This season we look at potential impacts of five important decisions issued since 2022.
The program, on Wednesday, December 11 at 7:00 pm, presents Frank Knaack, Executive Director of the Housing and Homelessness Alliance of Vermont (HHAV) and Falko Schilling, Advocacy Director with ACLU Vermont.
They will discuss the June, 2024 Supreme Court decision upholding ordinances in the Oregon city of Grants Pass that prohibit people who are homeless from using blankets, pillows, or cardboard boxes for protection from the elements while sleeping within city limits. Justices agreed with the city that ordinances enforcing camping regulations against homeless people do not violate the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
This will be a virtual presentation. You may send questions in advance to league@lwvofvt.org, or through Chat during the event.
