Safe Ground Sacramento- Applying toolbox methods

Safe Ground Sacramento 




“In November 2014, 65 homeless men and women were moved from a long-time encampment on the banks of the Sacramento River to the Old Town Inn in West Sacramento. They received shelter for 109 days and found counseling and services. The program cost $152,000.
All but 12 stayed at the hotel for the entire time; of those who completed the program, 68 percent are still in permanent housing, said Karen Larsen, Yolo County’s mental health director.”


(Primary source: Direct statements given from activists that work within Safe Ground Sacramento)
With this given information, the program created from the ground up with SafeGround Sacramento is apparent to presenting that it’s effectiveness is a nature of it’s argument. The essence builds up in substantial reputation to be a dominant force against the legislation or governmental policies that would attempt to deteriorate its mission to attain the incarceration activity of homeless people at a higher rate rather than reducing and raising the commonwealth through given societies, purely out of ignorance and intentional force as the numbers are concisely apparent that the program has had much positive action already. - Toolbox connective- "Resisting Whiteness: Mexican American studies and Rhetorical Struggles..." The paradigm that is created from the text of this source creates a hand in hand bondage with the left wing justice theory that there is full equaity of every niche of humanity, as "they are entitled to be treated that way".

“Sacramento police arrested 17 homeless residents at their “safe ground” campsite yesterday, including one advocate for the homeless.
Rev. David Moss, a Methodist Minister, was taken into custody along with other campers, charged with illegal camping, Sacramento police Sgt. Norm Leong said." - 

This is another set of evidence that correaltes directly with the framework created in the "Resisting Whiteness..." source as it presents the nature of every advocate member of the program that is pushing for what the overall mission is of the movement as a whole which is to find a guarantee of equal rights an autonomy for the homeless as "people are individuals, not exemplars."
