Right to Rest

The Right to Rest refers to the idea that individuals, particularly those affected by homelessness, should have the legal right to rest and recuperate in public spaces without being harassed or removed by authorities. This concept emphasizes the need for humane treatment, recognizing that everyone deserves a safe space to rest, regardless of their living situation. It advocates for policies that allow people to find temporary refuge in parks or sidewalks, aiming to address the challenges of homelessness while promoting dignity and respect for all individuals in society.
