Ban Anti-Homeless Architecture in Atlanta

Mayor Keisha Bottoms

Tell Mayor Keisha Bottoms to ban anti-homeless architecture in the City of Atlanta!

Atlantans suffering from housing insecurity have enough problems right now. Anti-homeless architecture is rampant in the Atlanta area and while it may hide homelessness in certain areas, it does absolutely nothing to solve the underlying problem of housing insecurity and only leads to more stigmatization and criminalization of homelessness.

Money which is used to install this kind of architecture, which is absolutely not necessary in 99% of the places it is installed, could be used to tackle the actual issue of homelessness. After all, homelessness is an issue which cannot be solved through spikes and narrow benches, no matter how many are scattered around shop fronts and parks. It is a waste of money which could be used giving accommodation and support to the people who are displaced by the most cruel and almost psychopathic architecture style.

Please sign our petition to ban anti-homeless architecture in Atlanta and share it with your friends!

I am asking you kindly to pass a ban on anti-homeless architecture in the City of Atlanta. Please take this small step in reversing our city's efforts to hide and criminalize our fellow Atlantan's suffering from housing insecurity. Thank you.
