  • Home Court Pamphlet Final
    From Home Court…to a Place Called Home 30 years of jusce for DC’s homeless residents A simple idea becomes a long‐standing Georgetown University Law Center tradion In 1987, Jeff Schwaber, a third‐year Georgetown University law student (now a successful aorney and long‐me board member of the Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless) had an idea. Jeff recalls: As a law student, I lived on Capitol Hill and would walk by the Community for Creave Non‐Violence (CCNV) shelter every day on the way to class. I saw the painful juxtaposion of this haven for over 1000 homeless men and women, against Georgetown University Law Center (GULC), just a block away. A parcular interacon I had with a homeless man one day snapped me into a different level of consciousness about the issue of homelessness and triggered the idea of tapping Georgetown resources and connecons to have a fundraiser – Members of Congress and Georgetown law professors squaring off in a charity basketball game. Inially, I thought we could generate $10,000 to purchase a refrigerator for CCNV. I talked about the game idea to one of my professors, Florence Roisman, who had helped sr my consciousness on issues of housing and homelessness. She said it was great idea, but ”if you want to focus on the juxtaposion, talk to my colleague Pay Mullahy Fugere, who is part of a group starng an ad hoc project of the DC Bar to provide legal services to homeless people. They are just geng off the ground.” I reached out to Pay, and we clicked right away.

  • February 5, 2021 an Open Letter to Congressional Leadership from The
    February 5, 2021 An Open Letter to Congressional Leadership from the Bipartisan ReFormers Caucus The assault on the U.S. Capitol by violent insurgents underscored what has long been true; American democracy can be fragile and, at times, vulnerable. It is vulnerable to misinformation campaigns and lies about the integrity of our elections. It is weakened by political violence of all kinds and by elected officials who fan the flames of division, undermining our sacred democratic institutions and eroding public trust. It is susceptible to cyber attacks from foreign powers and diminished abroad when our government is viewed as dysfunctional and divided. All of these weaknesses have been exacerbated by a global pandemic, economic devastation for many American families, and a long overdue reckoning on systemic racism. At this inflection point in our nation’s history — facing multiple crises and toxic hyper-partisanship — the role of the legislative branch is more important than ever. Congress must seek common ground, fulfill its constitutional role and lead. We, members of Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus, strongly urge you to reject the unproven conspiracies that undermined trust in the 2020 elections and led to the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th and the death of five Americans. We also implore you to leave behind the extreme polarization that has plagued American politics and embrace the common ground. We understand how difficult this can be. The ReFormers Caucus is made up of more than 200 former members of Congress, governors, and Cabinet officials, and is the largest bipartisan coalition of its kind ever assembled.
