Anti-Policing Stance
The group strongly opposes the rapid expansion of private-nonprofit and Metro policing surges in the downtown tourist corridors. They argue that these surges criminalize poverty rather than solving it. [1, 2, 3]

Ticket Out Programs 
Advocates have targeted initiatives like the "Homeward Bound" program, which pays for one-way bus tickets out of Nashville for unhoused individuals. [1]
Demanding Local Roots 
The collective fights the practice of shipping vulnerable people away, demanding instead that Nashville invest its tax revenues into local low-income housing rather than multi-billion-dollar tourism structures like the new stadium. [1]
Permit Hurdles 
Activists have mobilized to protest recent efforts by the Metro Parks Board to require outreach teams to obtain an official event permit just to hand out food or services to individuals on park properties. [1]

Defending Sanctuary Spaces
They continue to emphasize that downtown parks are life-saving community hubs for individuals without shelter. [1]
Amplifying Voices
Led by co-founder Howard Allen Jr., a primary ongoing initiative is forcing city hall to include unhoused people in policymaking. Their rallying cry remains: "We are often talked about, but never talked to." [1]

Enforcing Rights
They continually organize "Know Your Rights" training sessions directly within active campsites to prepare residents for sudden displacement by developers and city sweeping crews. [1, 2]
