Guam law favors landlords, but tenants are not completely without options. Know your rights!

Some people want the anti-panhandling laws upheld to the letter meanwhile they’re actual slumlords who violate tenant law on a regular basis.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

Or Guam’s ruling class. Either way, they don’t give a shit about most of Guåhan’s people.

We were reminded by a follower that “the elite” can be a Nazi/national socialist dog whistle. We definitely mean Guam’s upper class!

In order to be a good citizen of a settler state you must accept and tolerate anti-Blackness and Indigenous displacement. It doesn't matter who you are, we can all uphold whiteness as a construct, as a collective agreement about what and who matters and how civility is defined.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

All this being enforced at the beginning of Mes CHamoru is a bit ironic, no?

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

The elite want an island free of poor people and a working class crammed into low income slums, while the rest of the island is a playground for the rich, tourists and military. Don’t give it to them.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

Don’t call the fucking cops on your unhoused neighbors. We need community solidarity now!

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

An injury to one is an injury to all. Uno hit. We are one.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

These folks have worked to make their encampments. They do what they can and must to have their needs met. They are no different than those of us who are housed. We are just one bad accident, one month's rent missed, one job lost from being unhoused ourselves.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

These evictions are not who we are. These evictions are pao asu.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

We need real and substantial solutions for the needs of our community. Stand in solidarity with the unhoused of Guam. Let us put pressure on the Government of Guam. Let us seek the transformation of our island to better reflect our real cultural values.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

We stand with the encampments that face forced eviction by the Government of Guam, the Attorney General, the Guam Police Department, and the Mayor's offices. We see them as complicit with the project of capitalism and colonialism.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

We stand with unhoused peoples in our community as the Government of Guam attempts to further displace them while offering no real or substantial solutions for their needs.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

If society does not work for people, it is society that should be discarded, not the people.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

We need to rid ourselves personally and culturally of the idea that we know who an unhoused person is, what they do, and why they are unhoused. We need to rid our society of this idea that dealing with the conditions that create unhoused folks is a matter of criminality.

[ParaTodusHit @HitTodus]

While our support systems are in need of rebuilding and repair, they leave us with an incredibly burdened social service system that cannot possibly meet the needs that this society creates.
