Petition Make physical and verbal attacks against the homeless a hate crime

Homeless people and others living in poverty are at risk of being attacked both physically and verbally by members of the general public every day.

More details

These are some of the most vulnerable people in society, many of whom have complex needs such as suffering from mental and physical health problems, addiction, fleeing physical and sexual abuse, only to be more at risk because of how they are live.
We are all at risk of homelessness, it is not a lifestyle choice but one that is forced x upon us by circumstances beyond our control.
