These deaths were preventable. There is safety in community care. Sandra and her goon squad using safety concerns as the reason for clearing the plaza seems pretty fucking rich now.
2 people from city hall have passed since the camp was torn down. We weren’t being dramatic when we said the decision to displace folks would have dire consequences. The blood is on your hands Regina.
