They destroyed our food tent, supply tent, and clothing areas, and confiscated many people’s belongings, but they could not destroy the relationships we have built in community. We're all we've got.

This date commemorates the 3-year anniversary of the violent encampment sweep of Camp 210 on City Hall, in which the City of Bellingham use Border Patrol, Federal Agents, the Sheriffs Dept, and Parks to displace 50+ residents during the height of COVID in the middle of winter.

We’re focusing on donations of tents, tarps, sleeping bags, hats, gloves and socks because of extreme weather conditions. The City’s shelters only opens once the temperature is lower than 28°.

It was barely 40 degrees today. The city refuses to open up shelter so we'll continue to see the consequences of people's desperation as they attempt to survive in impossible conditions. Our society is so fucking sick

A defining characteristic of local courts in this unprecedented era of human caging, is that they are assembly line processing centers. I have seen flagrant constitutional violations in every local court I've ever observed.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

THREAD. If you want to do some volunteering or if you're retired, a great thing to do is watch court. Join your local courtwatch program, or organize together with your community to start one. It will blow your mind, make you new friends, and make the right kind of enemies.

It is freezing outside and day shelters aren't open. For longer lasting care, we would love to add you to our volunteer crew! The City will continue to leave our neighbors behind, but we never will, and we are stronger together.

Don't panic, ORGANIZE!

Cooking is a radical love of care for others!

Last Sunday, 50 burritos were made and distributed to unhoused neighbors. Hot meals are especially nice on cold days.
