ICYMI: Housing Advocates DISRUPT Tech Billionaires’ Anti-Homeless Conference

Cicero advocates for arresting homeless people, forced labor, forced treatment, and detention camps. We advocate for HOUSING, NOT HANDCUFFS. https://t.co/Oqext9PQx3

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

🚨NEW REPORT🚨 Research has found that the Cicero Institute, a right-wing think tank pushing anti-homeless laws, has deep connections to the prison and surveillance industries, and may stand to profit from the same anti-homeless laws they advocate for. https://t.co/Eo5iMGdV1e

It's giving Bruce Harrell

[DivestSPD @DivestSPD]

It costs $70,000 a year to “house” someone in jail. That’s just below the median income in Seattle—and there are drugs in jail.

If you proposed giving someone $200 a day these people would flip. But spend that much to punish them: totally fine.

phoenix city council passed an ordinance kneecapping our ability to distribute food and harm reduction supplies in public parks.

this is social murder.

anarchy is on trial in prairieland, yes. but so are immigrants and refugees. the concentration camp they had a noise demo outside of should not exist

We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez has been paying a Flock lobbyist while a board member of We Heart Seattle works to promote an AI sponsor based recovery app with one of Flock Safety’s first investors.

[Burien Cat Lady @kwithallthecats]

Less than 2 weeks to go for the Burien Mutual Aid Drive!! I sent out an update on progress to everyone who has signed up but happy to share here as well!

[DivestSPD @DivestSPD]

Lots of community orgs do cleanups around the city.

They DON’T:
* Support gutting Housing First
* Try to make it harder for the homeless to vote
* Promote Flock mass surveillance
* Destroy people’s belongings

These are all features not bugs of WHS’s work.

[DivestSPD @DivestSPD]

We Heart Seattle is a rightwing ideological project.

They’re not doing this to help “clean up the community” any more than MAGA doofus Scott Presler is. It’s pure theater with a sinister propaganda motive.

[National Homelessness Law Center @homeless_law]

PRESS CONFERENCE TODAY: National and local leaders in the housing justice movement will speak out against @POTUS @HUDgov life-threatening funding changes, which will force 170,000 people back into homelessness. Stay tuned.

[DivestSPD @DivestSPD]

This is 100% the Discovery Institute plan for homelessness.

Gut permanent supportive housing while shifting to an over reliance on emergency shelters.

Make no mistake. This will cause the number of mentally ill people in the streets to EXPLODE

🚨🚨🚨 Utah moves forward with a 1,200-bed forced homeless detention camp. This includes hundreds of locked beds, forced medication, & the potential for forced labor.

This is a huge deal. And it must be stopped.

Thanks to @JasonDeParle & @EllenBarryNYT at @nytimes for covering

Concentration camps, from Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale.

[Invisible People ➤ Imagine Everyone With a Home @invisiblepeople]

Utah just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless people — seven miles from town, no transportation, locked units, and even forced labor. They call it “work-conditioned housing.” We call it what it is: modern-day internment.

In this clip, Eric Tars from the National Homelessness Law Center explains how billionaire-backed policies are turning homelessness into a human rights crisis.

Watch or listen to the full podcast for the conversation they don’t want you to hear.

Internment Camps for Homeless People — Disguised as ‘Help’ https://t.co/1c3QGerGEd?

[Jesse Rabinowitz 🔥🌹@jesserbnwtz.bsky.social @jesserbnwtz]

ICYMI: ICE raided a homeless shelter in Chicago, and DC Police arrested a homeless veteran and destroyed his belongings.

Pay attention to attacks on homeless folks. They will spread to everybody that the admin does not like.

This is fascism, full stop.

[Alycia Ramirez @AlyciaRamirez3]

We 💚 Seattle has been openly courting people with very racist beliefs.

Voeten, a Dutch photojournalist who was just shown around by WHS, has open white nationalist beliefs (ex: believes in white genocide).

[Alycia Ramirez @AlyciaRamirez3]

And there it is, We 💚 Seattle not only supports the armed invasion of cities by #Trump but blames the "crime" on "foreigners".

Why is @CityofSeattle giving *any* resources or access to a group that hates immigrants and sides with fascists?

Sprawling police surveillance is coming to Seattle. Council is voting on Sept 9

Hear DivestSPD’s Justin Ward and Stop Surveillance City’s BJ Last talk about what’s at stake this week on the Burner Podcast.

[Treehouse Collective @treecollectdc]

Out again! We saw significantly more people today- some new friends and some we’ve known for years. Folks filled up all our chairs, ate breakfast, and chatted about how they’re doing given… everything.

We got 3 tents & a sleeping bag out today, but 3 more people need a tent
