Thanks, Victoria.
Also, a great discussion suggestion from one of our members: thoughts on this Phoenix finding by the DOJ in light of the recent City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson decisionhttps://www.scotusblog.com/2024/06/justices-uphold-laws-targeting-homelessness-with-criminal-penalties/? The summary of the investigation on the DOJ website makes it sound like a decent amount of their Phoenix analysis is based on what would now potentially be out-of-date case precedent. The DOJ investigation report was released just two weeks before the Grants Pass decision.
Looking forward to a great discussion next week.

Good afternoon:
This is a reminder that we have a call tomorrow for the IMLA Police Alternatives working group. It is scheduled for 2 pm eastern and you can access the zoom link here:

We'll discuss the DOJ report relating to Phoenix's police practices and as relevant to this group, the DOJ's findings regarding police encounters with individuals with behavioral health disabilities and the ADA. We may touch on other aspects of the report as well. (Sofia's note below has a link to the DOJ's report).
Thanks,
Amanda
