LA Passed 41.18 therefore criminalizing #Homelness & being unhoused. This madness has to -STOP-. I been silently pondering on how to address this matter. The conclusion? 🧵#homesnotzones #4118 #SeizeTheHotels #HomelessLivesMatter
I've come to the idea of forming 'Coalition for Change'.
To make a nonprofit that is not influenced by politics, is not under the control of the City/County or State. That isn't LAHSA & will never be like LAHSA. #homesnotzones #4118 #SeizeTheHotels #HomelessLivesMatter

This means the nonprofit it's self has to be 100% publicly funded, not by any money from any form of government. To be funded by the public & directly from the public. H & HHH are the failed examples of why this is needed. #homesnotzones #4118 #SeizeTheHotels #HomelessLivesMatter
If we’re gonna talk about Tiny Homes, we need to talk about Special Enforcement Zones (thread)
Here’s a throwback to last year when Ken Craft, President and CEO of Hope of the Valley, spoke in a public meeting about how the presence of shelters increases policing of unhoused people and why that’s a great thing
Let that sink in. A leader in the LA homeless industry who is responsible for housing people is also pro-enforcement, pro-police, and pro-sweeps.
For today, we won!
The majority of council did not support the motion and sent it back to committee. This fight will come back, but public pressure stopped the council from moving forward today. Jamming this through in just a few days during a busy election season failed.

As the meeting closed, they moved to continue this discussion on November 24th, so this fight is far from over. We need to keep the pressure on council, because they will try this again in 4 weeks.
Thanks to everyone who called, emailed, and otherwise spoke out against this backwards motion. In a matter of days, the people spoke up and shut it down. Criminalization is not a solution to homelessness. #HomesNotZones #ServicesNotSweeps
Trans, disabled and unhoused resident Hal describes what its like to live in @MayorOfLA and @MitchOFarrell's harmful and costly Special Enforcement Zone in Hollywood.

The @MayorOfLA and @JoeBuscaino @PaulKrekorian @davideryu @HerbJWesson are opening more of these shelters+zones in the weeks and months ahead.
They sugarcoat these expensive police+criminalization zones with words like 'safety' and 'clean.'
Abolish them NOW. #HomesNotZones

When @davideryu 's staff gave a presentation on his new Riverside shelter, they called it a "Services Zone" with no mention of the daily police harassment+banishment.
We've witnessed police tell young Black unhoused men to "get out of here" in these zones #HomesNotZones
