Constructed in '96, Squirrel Hill Falls park has barred regular community access for 23 years. Reclaimed on 4.13.19, this privately owned public amenity is now known as People's Park. What space in your hood would you like to reclaim? #WeCallUs#DisappearingBlackness
Fake winter construction project at Suburban Station.
Locked Spruce Street entrance to Walnut-Locust.
Transit police harassing people in 30th St Station.
Glad to see our housing policy moved to one centered on treating people with dignity.

See the live streams of two protests last night in South #Minneapolis after #DerekChauvin was released from maximum security prison on a non-cash bond of $1M: https://t.co/uOwcZyXTMO
While the #VicePresidentialDebate was airing, inter-agency forces kettled & arrested dozens.
Ask the @PhilaHsgAuthPHA how it turns 40 houses (5 bedroom and 6 bedroom houses into 1 bedroom senior housing in segregated housing.
The new housing is not new. They are taking away from other sources.
Philly DSA leaders just blocked a resolution to create a mutual aid committee that would serve the most vulnerable during a pandemic.
In case you needed another example as to why I have issues with these people.
.@MichelleLhooq. Amazing article. Thank you!
“We’re not trying to appease middle class sensibilities,” said organizer Sterling Johnson when I asked about his shirt. “Yeah, we are drug users. Be nice to us!”

We encourage people to fight for housing and healthcare as well as for an end to the war on drugs. These continue to be factors fueling our ongoing overdose crisis.
Remembrance
Camp JTD is grieving for the death of a community member. Her life mattered.
We are supporting the community through this situation and are asking for remembrance.

We must continue to support the relationships and community empowerment that allows for people to feel safe to disclose their use and to take preventative harm reduction steps to support their life.
We will have change and it will be based in transformative justice and making violence unimaginable. We will create those communities ourselves.
We continue to count the days until we get justice for #BreonnaTaylor
We are still counting the days for Justice for Breonna Taylor.
Justice is not a settlement. Justice cannot be measured in dollars. $12 million will never bring back this person that was loved by many and now means so much to all of us.
Justice is not measured by the number of officers prosecuted. Even when officers are put on trial the jurors, regardless of race, have treated black lives as collateral damage. They have treated us as disposable.
