ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Rochester housing activists rallied at Washington Square Park, demanding “Housing, not handcuffs!” on Friday.
Members of “VOCAL New York” and the “Rochester Grants Pass Resistance” gathered ahead of the anniversary of the “Grants Pass vs. Johnson” Supreme Court case. This case allows cities to penalize people for camping on public land.
Activists urged the city to stop its homeless sweeps, which relocate homeless individuals from encampments throughout Rochester.
A city spokesperson said Rochester maintains its position on the issue, stating that the city works with homeless people to find them homes, store their belongings, and provide services to help them get back on their feet.
