League of Women Voters speaker series on Supreme Court decisions continues Dec. 11

The League of Women Voters of Vermont, in partnership with Kellogg-Hubbard Library, presents the second in its 2024-2025 Lecture Series on Recent Supreme Court Decisions at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 11. This season examines the potential impacts of five important decisions issued since 2022.

Frank Knaack, executive director of the Housing and Homelessness Alliance of Vermont, and Falko Schilling, advocacy director with ACLU Vermont, will discuss the June 2024 decision upholding ordinances in Grants Pass, Ore., that prohibit homeless people from using blankets, pillows or cardboard boxes for protection against the elements while sleeping within city limits. Justices agreed with the city that ordinances enforcing camping regulations against homeless people do not violate the Constitution’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
