Reminder that YOU KNEW YESTERDAY that it was going to take A WHILE to count all the votes and TRUMP WAS GOING TO USE EARLY RETURNS TO TRY TO DECLARE VICTORY AND STOP COUNTING
“Zillow & https://t.co/QAbLgKYwej don’t tell you if a landlord will accept RRH and other homeless program $$ (they often don’t). We need a better online resource for folks in RRH looking for housing.” - Practical insights from Lauren Bridges at the @HPRI_LA symposium this AM
Results from @mclens + team COVID housing survey:
“Despite the eviction moratorium in LA County, about 15% of people who were behind on rent were threatened with eviction anyway.” @HPRI_LA
“Anti-Black racism is the underlying cause of racism against all other groups and anti-immigrant sentiments in all forms. It’s in EVERYONE’s best interest to undo the legacy of anti-Black racism in all of its manifestations.” @Prof_MPastor at today’s @HPRI_LA event

MUST READ!
Police solve just 2% of all major crimes
And yet cities like Los Angeles give them 54% of our general fund. THIS is why we say #DefundThePolice and #ReimaginePublicSafety.

“Black community-based orgs must be active/formal partners in supporting students experiencing homelessness” - @EEdwards02 presenting his research on the importance of integrating community cultural wealth into homeless services for youth @HPRI_LA
In Los Angeles, if you had 10 police officers responding to the needs of homeless individuals, 8 of the 10 of them would be male and it would cost $940,000. If you replaced them with 10 social workers, 8 of 10 would be female and it would cost $570,000.
54% of LA’s unhoused population is black. 1 in 6 LAPD arrests is of a houseless person. 3 unhoused people die on our streets everyday. Black unhoused lives matter.
More than 100,000 people flooded the streets of Hollywood in the name of #GeorgeFloyd and the 601 people killed by police in Los Angeles since 2013. THIS IS THE UNFOLDING OF THE REVOLUTION. We CAN have the world we imagine. Join us! Keep fighting!
