to Dot Calm's shadow     Women were just kicked out of the only homeless shelter in Williamsburg, Kentucky. Yes, all of them, out in the cold, because the shelter's director claims he doesn't want the residents having "ungodly" sex.1 It's outrageous anytime of the year, but the decision by Emergency Christian Ministries to kick homeless women and girls out during the holidays is especially cruel. The shelter gets taxpayer funding, so it's more susceptible to public pressure. If we act quickly and keep heat on the shelter's board and director, we can push them to reverse the decision--and get the women and girls back into the shelter before the year is out.  Tell Emergency Christian Ministries Director Billy Woodward:  Lift your sexist ban on homeless women and children.  Sign the petition To make things worse for the women, the nearest homeless shelter accepting women is in the next city over, nearly 30 miles away. Director Billy Woodward denies that the policy is sexist and claims that the staff "are not biased or prejudiced whatsoever." The decision is attracting condemnation from everyone, from the city's residents to the mayor. Thousands more of us can easily force Emergency Christian Ministries to lift its ban on homeless women and children. Will you tell the Emergency Christian Ministries director to end its sexist ban? --Nita, Shaunna, Kat, Karin, Adam, Holly, Kaili, Kathy, Onyi, Susan, Clarise, Anathea, Audine, Ryan, Shannon, Vanessa, Megan, Kaytee, and Libby, the UltraViolet team Sources: 1.
