I cannot help but be concerned at how all this reactionary response to migrants seeking #asylum in NYC has created a perfect storm of xenophobia, ego-driven political agendas & photo ops, is risking folks safety & possibly exposing them to ICE? Btw #AbolishICE 1/
I saw plently of asylum seekers when I was a shelter case manager. This is NOT a new phenomenon, though it does require an urgent response in public policy, and always has, to address access to safe, perm housing for ALL people in New York. 2/
I'm not going to give into the nasty game of meritocracy, pick-me and "I-got-next" when it comes to ending homelessness. NO ONE is more deserving of a home than the next. Needs may vary but a human right to a home should NEVER be a hierarchy. #EndHomelessness
Furthermore, there are numerous orgs and mutual aid groups that have BEEN in these trenches doing the work of aiding & supporting our new community members. No cameras, just care and action. How dare their work be co-opted and pulled into a political circus smh!
