Tomorrow morning, Mon. Oct 22, police will begin to evict the houseless encampment on Broadway between Ray's and Salvation Army. Although this has happened many times before, the city has now set aside 200k to build a "homeless daytime park" to stop the camp #LegalizeSleep
This will allow the city to displace hundreds of folx without shelters in the winter. This emcampment has been demonized in the media and by the city as a center of crime, while in reality these are the most marginalized people in town providing mutual aid to one another.
Religious charities that offer shelter to these folx often have strict programs that exclude people that work at night, trans people, and drug users. These shelters are often as dangerous as staying on the street, and for some folx more so.
