	3	+I value morality, implied by the word “ought” in the resolution, defined as a moral obligation.
	4	+
	5	+My value criterion is minimizing structural violence. Prefer this framework:
	6	+
	7	+1. Equality is the basis of any moral theory because any unequal treatment requires arbitrary distinction between persons. Domination is a means of overriding consideration of one’s interest, but because everyone is equal, domination of another person is unjustifiable. This also means that oppression is normatively bad under any ethical framework, and if it isn’t then that framework is morally repugnant and should be rejected.
	8	+
	9	+2. Structural violence comes before any other moral claims because oppression unjustifiably limits those who are included in moral calculus. We need to create systems and focus on strategies to stop moral exclusion and make our ethical categorizing meaningful.

	14	+
	15	+This means the aff framework is a prior question to moral reasoning because it is inclusive of all perspectives which increases the probability that our ethical deliberation produces sound conclusions.
	16	+
	17	+Thus, I advocate that the United States ought to guarantee the right to housing.

	23	+Additionally, offense that proves why past housing policies were ineffective or problematic do not apply to the aff – the resolution proposes a shift from the status quo which creates new forms of housing that have not yet been tried in the United States
	24	+
	25	+I contend that that guaranteeing the right to housing would decrease structural violence.
	26	+
	27	+Contention 1: Intimate Partner Violence
	28	+
	29	+First, Discriminatory laws force survivors of Intimate Partner Violence, or IPV, to choose between reporting abuse or avoid getting evicted from their home – landlords evict tenants for their partners abuse which creates a chilling effect and allows IPV to continue. This disproportionally harms women of color who are uniquely targeted with eviction, which spurs unemployment, homelessness, and suicide – nuisance ordinances treat IPV response as a nuisance and embolden abusers – guaranteeing the right to housing would resolve this because it would (a) prevent landlords from evicting IPV survivors if they report IPV abuse and (b) it would end women’s fear that they will end up homeless by calling 911

	36	+
	37	+a. Scotland, France, and South Africa implemented legislation that guaranteed the right to housing. These countries show housing rights decrease homelessness and violence and creates a symbolic shift to affirming the dignity of marginalized populations.
