San Diego: Do We Care or Do We Dump?
Theo travels to San Diego to speak to unhoused people forced to deal with the violent, life-threatening act of hospital dumping, and how law enforcement and the hospitals themselves are using mask-off tactics to threaten the lives of a growing unhoused community. This week, he speaks with Tiran, Stacy, and Michelle. In unhoused news, we discuss the dangerous outcome of the HB5 decision in Kentucky, as well as more anti-unhoused laws voted through in San Mateo and Ohio.
