Night Out for Safety and Liberation was a hit! #SafetyIs 50+ neighbors enjoying good food, local musicians, a lesson in self defense, and speeches by community leaders working to end incarceration and the criminalization of poverty. Safety isn’t police or policing. #NOSL22

An event a few miles away designed as a counterpoint in Woodley Park is going on. An organizer’s opinions on the concept of the “National Night Out”:

I love this image and show people all the time when they say where they live in a big city.

[Hear in LA @hearinladotcom]

How big is LA?

Way bigger than many would have you believe.

Hey so if you didn’t know, I’m running for office! My councilwoman resigned after a leaked tape caught her saying racist comments about her constituents and co-workers. Follow my campaign twitter on how to get involved, how to donated, and what I’ll be up to next. 💖

This false dichotomy is why so many of our neighbors are unhoused. A care-centered model can get people inside. A care-centered model will KEEP people inside. These are our neighbors. These are our community members. Please stop this narrative of either/or. 🧵Below.

Research shows that Black folks suffer PTSD from watching videos of Blacks being killed by police.

It’s a phenomenon called “linked fate”, where we see ourselves and loved ones in the place of the victim.

Be careful watching the Tyre Nichols murder video. Protect your mind.

While Covid-19 precautions have generally relaxed across the nation, in LA County jails, restrictive pandemic policies have become scapegoats for the County’s failures. As a result, people are missing their court dates. (🧵)

SCOOP:The CARE program was supposed to be a “services-led” approach to cleaning encampments. But according to new data few unhoused ppl in LA have been sheltered as a result of "CARE sweeps.” And almost nobody has been moved into permanent housing. @LATACO https://t.co/ZlvplyC8Q6

Beautiful evening at #NOSL22!!! #SafetyIs is community, not police ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

"Homelessness is used interchangeably with crime despite it not being one—beyond a social one inflicted upon homeless people, rather than carried about by them. Countless headlines and news broadcasts daily conflate poverty with crime."

“I am, a revolutionary.” Happy Black August

[Black Liberation Media ✊🏿 @BLM_edia]

Chairman Hampton setting the tone for the 1st day of Black August & revolutionary commitment, "If you ever think about me, and you ain't gonna do no revolutionary act, forget about me. I don't want myself on your mind if you're not going to work for the people." @BlackPowerMedi1
