Redding and Shasta County No New Tax for New Jails Group







Redding and Shasta County is suffering a homeless shelter crisis, and its police have been dispensing "cruel and unusual punishment" for years writing tickets for homeless "camping."

Martin v. City of Boise says cities can’t punish the homeless for sleeping outdoors or on public property.

We are Shasta County citizens opposing a 2020 ballot initiative to increase the sales tax to build new jails and or police ran detention rehabilitation centers.




Anderson Police Chief Johnson "Stalag" homeless "solution"

Say NO to Anderson California police Chief Johnson and his proposal for a transitional rehabilitation center in Shasta County. Seems anything but Christian....even Anti Christ since a federal court affirms cities can’t criminalize homelessness.


“The idea of forcing homeless people into detention facilities through some kind federally led, law enforcement/military style effort is also inhumane and grotesque, and does not appear to have been thought out so hopefully that is not actually the strategy.”

"The court can’t force cities to build adequate shelter space or homeless housing, but it can make it unconstitutional for them to criminalize homelessness until that burden has been met."




Next door Good News Rescue Mission



Say NO to Good News Rescue Mission having anything to do with a desperately needed new low barrier homeless shelter. It is believed the Good News Rescue Mission has become a political subdivision of the City of Redding.

No one is advocating building a jail for the homeless, we want a jail for the criminals.
