As divisive and repulsive as those kinds of comments are, they motivate me to work harder to end homelessness in Rhode Island and stand up for the dignity of every person we serve. 8/8

When I read or hear comments like those that Kilmeade made on Friday, I am reminded that the work we do at Crossroads – and others do at similar organizations across the country – is vital. 7/

We end homelessness with more housing that is safe and affordable, and investments in proven programs like housing problem-solving and rapid rehousing. 6/

We know how to end homelessness…It's not mass murder by lethal injection, as Brian Kilmeade horrifically and thoughtlessly argued. 5/

No one chooses homelessness and we all have a responsibility to fight against it. 4/

Still, I worry that by choosing not to elevate comments like his, we’re accepting a reality that’s numb to the kind of hateful rhetoric that turns neighbors against each other and strips members of our community of their dignity. 3/

Last Friday, Brian Kilmeade used his words and his national platform to dehumanize people experiencing homelessness. His callousness doesn’t deserve amplification on this or any other platform. 2/
