BREAKING NEWS: We're suing @LondonBreed, @SFPD & the City of SF for their efforts to criminalize homelessness through an array of brutal policing practices that violate the constitutional rights of unhoused San Franciscans.

🧵below 1/ More than 57% of SF’s homeless population is unsheltered because the City has never provided enough temporary shelter for the City’s residents. Yet the City coordinates multiple agencies to cite, fine & arrest unhoused people who have nowhere to turn.

Mayor London Breed is exploiting the concerns of a vulnerable community in order to promote a “law and order” agenda meant to benefit political and financial interests. This unjustified, and in some cases, illegal maneuver is cause for alarm. 1/ There is a state of emergency in the TL and throughout the city. We have lost over 700 community members to overdose in the last year is an emergency. Thousands of people are forced to sleep on our streets every night, through inclement weather and a pandemic, is an emergency. 2/

SIP hotels have been crucial to keeping people safe through the pandemic. Yesterday these banners were dropped at City Hall as a reminder to all that we must #KeepSIPsOpen @LondonBreed Image THIS IS DEATHLY DANGEROUS: Unhoused and unsheltered individuals experience medical aging, unique health concerns, and higher rates of comorbidities that far exceed their biological ages on an equivalent scale with housed individuals who are 20years their senior.

Incisive, succinct from @marykatebacalao

The 'plan' to 're-house' 2,359 people emphasizes filtering people AWAY from housing to bus tickets & other informal living situations. The city is prioritizing "exits to stability" over housing. There's nothing stable about a few weeks at your family's house during pandemic, flu season, etc. There's nothing stable about a bus ticket to some far flung city.

There's nothing more stable than a house

WE MUST LISTEN TO THOSE INSIDE.

Thanh Tran, currently incarcerated at San Quentin Prison:

“I write this after 3 days of being curled into a fetal position, fighting off COVID19. For a week now shrieks of man down followed by alarms have become my alarm clock. /1 Over 30 people hospitalized in my building alone this past week. After fighting excruciating headaches and vomiting, all that i am given to heal myself is a box lunch - which is now served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. /2

A reminder that our housing movement can be more radical.

Homes Not Jails in the 90s had folks like @TenantsUnionSF, Food Not Bombs, us taking over vacant buildings.

There are more than 30,000 vacant units in SF today. What's stopping us? EX: We took over an 85-unit residential hotel that has been vacant for 12 yrs, demanding that it be turned into affordable housing.

Leaving units vacant when there are thousands languishing on our streets is criminal.
