Davis Square confronts new normal with unprecedented surge in homelessness, drug use, and violence - The Boston Globe "Police are here all the time. People are overdosing. There’s needles all over the place," said a Somerville native.

#Somerville’s Davis Square has seen a surge in people out on the streets and in shelters.

Many have expressed deep empathy for those struggling, and feel there needs to be some accountability to give them the help they are in need of.

H.H.S. Reverses Decision to Cut $2 Billion for Mental Health and Addiction Services

After an outrage from people around the nation, funding for mental health and substance use programs has been restored.

On May 30, we’re sleeping outside for those who don’t have the choice.
It’s called Sleep Out, and it’s our way of saying: We see you. We’re with you. And we’re not backing down.

This isn’t “pretending” to be homeless. It’s about rehumanizing the system.

So... sleep with me?

@covenant_house

Will you... sleep with me... ?

No, seriously.

On May 30, we’re sleeping outside to stand in solidarity with those who don’t have the choice. And we want you to join us.

You can help!
Sleep with us or donate to support mobile outreach!
