What more do we need to show you @DenCityCouncil? What will it take for you to help stop the torture?
We vote. And we will in 2023...
...if you vote in favor of this tmrw, you can no longer pretend you care about the thousands of people experiencing homelessness in our city.

Yesterday, @andylocal reported that 9 congregate shelter residents are being isolated due to COVID exposure. Thanks to @LegalAidNYC, further transfers are on pause thru today--but this is another piece of evidence that if @NYCMayor resumes transfers tmrw, lives are at risk. (1/x)
These COVID exposures are exactly what we’ve been warning @NYCMayor about for the past month. Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan heard it directly from homeless NYers and advocates. And yet, mind-bogglingly, the Mayor plans to restart transfers tomorrow. (2/x)
We came into #JulyHomelessRights month with 3 goals: stop the transfers, stop the sweeps, implement Intro 146. As of Friday, we’re on track to meet one of those--and as transfers and sweeps continue, we can’t let up. (3/x)

Mayor de Blasio is forcing homeless New Yorkers back to congregated shelters Monday. He says ppl need the services shelters provide & he is lying. There are no services. This is a shelter on Ward’s island. NYC pays $3500 - $4000 per person a month to sleep in a room with 30 ppl.
The idea that shelters are a safe place for homeless people is a myth perpetuated by non profits that run & benefit from them. They can get away with this because only staff & residents can go in them. These photos are from a brave resident who is a member of @VOCALNewYork.
Here’s a bed at a Ward’s Island shelter in a prison-style dormitory, 20-40 people per room, standard for many shelters. Mental breakdowns & open drug use are common, problematic for ppl trying to stay sober & unsafe for everyone. This is what de Blasio is forcing people back to.
Budget committee is digging into @SeattlePD's budget for the second straight week, and several @SeattleCouncil members are expressing frustration they aren't getting straight answers, even to requests for how long it will take to get answers. #DefundSPD
Here's what we learned at last week SPD budget hearing. #DefundSPD #DefundThePolice theurbanist.org/2020/06/11/pro…
.@CMTMosqueda objected to SPD's use of "less than lethal" as a name for crowd control tactics like chokeholds and chemical weapons that really do take lives, particularly amid a pandemic that targets the lungs. (Hence the ban.) #DefundThePolice theurbanist.org/2020/06/16/sea…
In the last two years, we’ve learned that #resistance means getting involved at all levels of government. Our members have doorknocked with @swingleft, lobbied for police demilitarization in Sacramento, met often with Congressional staff and rallied for #FamiliesBelongTogether 1/
Our members are working at the state level to craft new gun control legislation and organizing at the City level for a #publicbank. We continue to pressure @SpeakerPelosi and @SenFeinstein to sign onto the #GreenNewDeal. We want #Medicare4All and we won’t accept a racist wall. 2/
In the last two years, we’ve organized countless phone banks, text banks and postcard campaigns. We’ve learned about burnout. We also learned how crucial it is to amplify the voices of organizations that have been around and in the trenches far longer than we. 3/
