The Bring Americ
Bring America Home NOW (BAHN) has 6 major policy pillars that focus our movement’s fight to end homelessness. Each of these pillars have short term and long term policy focuses. As our movement progresses, BAHN will be updating and adding to our political focus areas as we push legislation on a national and local level.
Our national partners are advocates from around the country, sharing insight on state and citywide struggles that heavily influence our national political pillar focuses. As a movement, we incorporate local struggles into the national discussion as a comprehensive grassroots movement to end homelessness.
The Bring America Home Now Campaign has reached the 1000 partner milestone. The campaign has also reached 32 state captains. On April 22, NCH and its partners held events across the country to raise awarenes about the growing criminalization activities. Laws making it illegal to be homeless resulting in fines, jails and arrest have been passed in over 165 communities since the passage of the Johnson versus Grants Pass Supreme Court decision. NCH will be organizing direct actions in community across the country, supporting our partners and elected official. Recently NCH supported the introduction of the Glia Jihson Bill.
