Legacy Property Management and Johnson Creek Village

On 4/20/2023 Phillip Western and I were thrown out of our home in 72 hours because we refused to commit fraud for Legacy Property Management and the owners of Johnson Creek Village. A gray apartment building w...
We received no notice, Phill had never received a written warning for work, they refused to tell us why we were thrown aside. We asked if we could continue living in our home if we paid rent, and they refused with a laugh. It was a retaliatory firing and eviction. A door post from Legacy Pro...
We moved into a quaint old building called "The Albert" in November of 2021. Vintage and cute we had a lot of hope for the future, our move in costs paid by DV grants. Despite being advertised as having heat, the day we went to sign the move in papers,

A guide to being a #folkreporter with @BlackByGodWV - a 🧵:
Good ole fashion #folkreporting is done by YOU the citizen. Witnessing is one of the most important things we as citizens can do to keep our elected officials and community accountable. 1/
When forming a thread on what you are witnessing, it is important to tag the elected officials you are covering when ever that is an option. Including relevant hashtags is also important. If you are at a #countycommission meeting let folx know! Tag your municipalities as well. 2/
Let people know you are a folk reporter! Include the following at the begining of your thread:

It's probably a pretty low bar, but I got the transcript of my conversation with Zerzan up on the anarchist library which makes me happy:

@rechelon's essay on anti-civ was really valuable going into the conversation and @SolarpunkA thanks for the work you do, as I was basically arguing for a solarpunk future as the highest realisation of our character virtues, so worth working through modern day suffering. #Zerzan

The niceness has worn out..this country is in a serious crisis, with the after effects of an ongoing pandemic and the inaction of a wealthy congress who cant do their damn jobs, resulting in waves of foreclosures and evictions, unemployment and poverty..If helping those impacted
isnt a priority and your priviledged enough to be doing well enough that you can preach about the damn election and voting while a growing number of us are trying to survive, you're a serious piece of work..shame! Each and every one of us needs to be out on the street, trying to
stop the landlords and lenders from filing the evictions and foreclosures, being loud and protesting in our cities, writing and calling our state reps and members of congress..inaction is approval #ShutItDown #Strike4ThePeopleNOW #DirectAction @threadreaderapp unroll

1/12 An open letter to The Christian Left, a “progressive online ministry” that is inflicting organized white violence against Lace Watkins, a long-time follower of @TheChristianLft and renowned Black Christian #activist bit.ly/316sAq8 #shareblackstories
2/12 Her transgression? Being a Black Christian woman who dared to question the white male co-founders of The Christian Left for profiteering off the death of Congressman #JohnLewis by appropriating his legacy of #goodtrouble.
3/12 The Christian Left refuses to #listentoblackwomen. They ban Lace and erase all of her comments. They silence anyone who kindly invites them to consider how their behavior is at odds with their stated values, which they call "concern trolling" rather than #goodtrouble.

Welcome to the #EnvironmentalCampaign archive. This story is about the fight to stop a highway extension through WA’s #BeeliarWetlands.
The #RoeHighway was first drafted in 1955, with sections built over the next 50 years. The Roe 8 section was a 5km heavy-haulage route planned to pass through #BeeliarWetlands, 20km south of Perth, projected to cost $450 million.
Over the following years more people became aware of the loss of around 80% of #wetlands in the Perth region. In 1985 the Wetland Conservation Society (WCS) was formed after the unsuccessful Farrington Road Blockade failed to stop the loss of #bushland.
