Coalition against the criminalization of homelessness

The number of homeless people has been increasing for years – as have the attempts to criminalise them. Under such circumstances, a rather unspectacular step – the linking of the potentials of two NGOs – can make socially innovative waves. The high media profile of the "Hungarian Civil Liberties Union" renders the actions of the mostly homeless activists of "The City is for All" a lot more visible to the public eye. Lived injustice does not remain just personally shaming but is "collected" and juridically used. Individual lawsuits against discrimination can be accompanied by the media more easily and can thus create political, thus collective impact.
