Common Good Tacoma joins coalition partners to say NO on camping ban expansion

Community advocates gather ahead of Tacoma City Council meeting to protest expansion of camping ban.

Ahead of the Tacoma City Council meeting on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, Common Good Tacoma partnered with outreach workers in our Outreach Collective and Tacoma 4 All in supporting unhoused neighbors. We demand our taxpayer money is spent creating stability and solving the affordable housing crisis.

The proposed massive expansion of the camping ban in Tacoma is a policy that targets neighbors who sleep outside, confiscates survival gear, and will effectively making being homeless illegal in Tacoma. The City spends $12 million a year on sweeps already. We know there is a better way forward.
