1/ This new coalition featuring We 💚 Seattle, has a brand new website (registered Jan 16th) and a national ad campaign. They're also pushing for policies that are both harmful & outdated. 
2/ This new coalition features #SafeSeattleIsAHateGroup and Jonathan Choe's employer, Discovery Institute.
They are anti-all drugs including marijuana and take a stance that is similar to prohibitionists of decades past, such as the failed DARE program.

3/ The coalition's assertions about the root causes of homelessness being severe mental health & drug abuse are just plain wrong.

1/ TW: Violence
There's a conversation on an anti homeless Seattle Reddit subthread about basically "starving out" the unhoused and poor, and letting them die.
The kicker? They are We 💚 Seattle, & #SafeSeattleIsAHateGroup fans and even list them on their "communities tab".

2/ Guess who is also listed on the communities tab of this awful, anti homeless subreddit, where they draw their inspiration besides Safe Seattle?

3/ We 💚 Seattle's "work" is featured prominently throughout this same Seattle anti homeless subreddit.
These are the folks that they are also attracting....who think that unsheltered & poor are "worthless".
Actions have consequences and so does rhetoric.

Long thread on homelessness services!! The upcoming Seattle Election will continue to be about candidates with evidence-based practical solutions or candidates supported by the emotion-filled revulsion from "Moms", Burgess/POS, Seattle Chamber, SOS, #SafeSeattleIsAHateGroup 1/24
2/ Listening to the "concern" from some people in our neighborhoods, you'll hear a lot express sentiments like this, that there's help if people just ask.
These are a FALSE narrative

3/ Reality is much different. This doesn't mean there aren't legitimate criticisms of the current approach or that we can't do better. But the problems are A) Lack of Money and IMO B) Lack of Human-centered approach. It's a hard problem, but it's not really that complicated
