Happy New Year to everyone except @MayorFrey.
Here's a brief message from the people you just tried to kill.
Here's a brief message from the people you just tried to kill.
While you are ringing in the new year at midnight, celebrating, several people are still displaced after Friday's eviction of The Quarry encampment.
@MayorFrey @MinneapolisPD and @CityMinneapolis unhoused 9 more #minneapolis residents in below-freezing temperatures. Upwards of 100 cops & city workers blocked off the area with crime scene tape & militaristic crowd control tactics, and bulldozed residents' homes & possessions.
The encampment was attacked around 6:30 AM on 12/30 while most residents were asleep -- after a city spokesperson issued a statement saying they would be there at 9:30 AM on 12/28.
Residents reported being woken up by police on loudspeakers and walking around outside their tents, telling them to leave immediately.
They grabbed what little possessions they could carry and fled -- some of them without gloves or jackets.

Community members have organized a public fund for those unhoused & displaced by the city's violent raid. Please share & donate if you can. opencollective.com/quarry-communi…
