Neo-Nazi Jeremy Wayne Roberts of Albany was among the pro-Israel crowd at the city council meeting on Monday, where a resolution to support Palestine was voted on. Jeremy has a long history of violence and involvement in white supremacy movements, and is a threat to our community
@IsabellaMaez Unfortunately we don’t have the capacity or people for something like that. In the meantime we’ve been helping folks evacuate sweeps and finding them a new spot to stay! Also providing them with anything they may have lost in relocation.
We are more threatened by the businesses that exploit us, the police that repress and kill us, and the fascists who aim to eradicate us, than we will ever be by another struggling person, especially one living without access to basic human necessities.
Jeff has since passed away but that is without a doubt the kindest most meaningful thing anyone’s ever done for me. He didn’t know us on a super personal level before that, but he cared about us all enough to give us all that last good night together.
After day 3 of a sweep we were supposed to do our food distro. All of us had been helping people move all day, and didn’t have anytime to cook. A guy living in the meadows went to the store and bought enough food so we could all have dinner together in our spot one last time.⬇️

Jordan Neely’s murder should remind us that the pretexts for lynchings often boiled down to discomfort felt by whites around Black people. Further, they weren’t done in secret. They were public spectacles, attended by white families for community building and lauded by newspapers
Please be considerate of unhoused people in the process. If a posting is close to someones living situation, and photographing it as a stranger would be invading their space, we also appreciate reports of the date and location you saw the posting and can go look for it ourselves!
