The phone calls started coming in this week: complaints about people in tents. I felt terrified. Defying public health needs, people antsy to open up business could infect unhoused people trying to shelter in place. So I wrote my column about this. 👇

🤎 If people are in their tents, please don’t push for them to be moved. They need to shelter in place. Push instead for more options, such as opening up hotels and motels or opening up shelter-in-place camp villages like C3PO elsewhere in the region. news.streetroots.org/2020/04/10/3-t…
🤎 Insist that hotel and motel rooms be opened to unhoused folks — not just folks who are symptomatic. Join the Street Roots campaign to help make this happen: news.streetroots.org/2020/04/26/sr-…
🤎 Support the many organizations working at almost twice the rate we once were. It’s that hard. streetroots.org/donate
🤎 Advocate for revenue supporting unhoused people, which means voting yes on Measure 26-210.
🤎 Recognize that unhoused people are your neighbors in this pandemic. Lead with love.
