Demand the City of San Francisco Create 24-Hour Public Restrooms for Homeless

Homeless people in San Francisco are exactly that -- people. Then why are most of them forced to go to the bathroom on the streets? I noticed this problem running in the early morning down Market Street - -San Francisco's main vein for traffic and the homeless. The goal of this campaign is to increase the urgency of San Francisco's Public Works program to build more self-cleaning, 24-hour public restrooms.

Doing some research into public restrooms around San Francisco reveals that, though there are a significant number of public restrooms, in the areas most affected by homelessness, there are few to none. Being homeless means a lack of consistent access to restrooms, and often being turned away at customer only establishments for which they do not have the money. This can result in public urination/defection and inadequate personal hygiene, to which everyone should have a right.

We demand that the city of San Francisco install ten public, 24-hour restrooms in the tenderloin district to make available to the homeless population the simple dignity of privacy.
