On Thursday, July 24, 2025, the Trump administration released an Executive Order called “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets”. This order directly threatens unhoused people, people with psychiatric histories and people who use drugs with significantly loosened restrictions on when they can lose their liberty and be sent to facilities where they could be contained long-term. The order also encourages sharing of protected health information with the police and decimates support for Housing First and harm reduction approaches overall, further broadening the range of people likely to be harmed.
On this second episode of Porchlight Vigil, host Earl Miller welcomes two guests: Luke Sikinyi, Vice President of Public Policy at The Alliance for Rights and Recovery, and Sera Davidow, Director of Wildflower Alliance, who will be stepping out of her usual host role with What’s Blooming with the Wildflower Alliance to join in on the conversation.
Together, they talk about the risks of the Order - and of dehumanization of marginalized communities overall - as well what still leaves them hopeful for something better in the future.
