Residents weren’t even giving a warning this time.

@MayorFrey, this is your city.

[little onion @zola_ellen]

I’m going to try to be as succinct as possible right now while my hands are shaking. @MinneapolisPD acted like they were leaving Powderhorn w., then reinforcement showed up and immediately ran up on the crowd and started macing people.

[little onion @zola_ellen]

At Powderhorn w.
It’s clear to me, who exactly is a disturbance to the peace. #AbolishThePolice

[Defend Glendale & Public Housing Coalition @DefendGlendale]

So @MayorFrey and the Minneapolis City Council Members are planning to build several shelters which is temporary fix, but refuse to build more public housing and stop the privatization of public housing which is a permanent fix to end homelessness. How does this make sense?

[Defend Glendale & Public Housing Coalition @DefendGlendale]

If you’re wondering why we say Keep Public Housing Public this is why. Do not let the buzz word of “affordable” trick you into thinking anything but public Housing is affordable to low income people in Minneapolis.

Join our comrades at @DefendGlendale tonight at 6:00 for a press conference about the sale of Elliot Twins Public Housing to the Royal Bank of Canada

[Minneapolis Sanctuary Movement @mplssanctuary]

We are on the streets w our community to demand Jacob Frey stop neglecting his responsibility and keep his promise of ending homelessness.

No more privatization of public housing!
Housing is a human right!

[Minneapolis Sanctuary Movement @mplssanctuary]

For decades, every level of gov has completely failed to address homelessness & the housing crisis. For governing bodies w power to affect change, continued failure to address is intentional acceptance of homelessness in one of the wealthiest states in the wealthiest country

[Women for Political Change @MNWFPC]

How @MayorFrey is spending his time while cops are raiding and forcibly evicting residents from Powderhorn 😡😡😡

[Women for Political Change @MNWFPC]

The way Minneapolis local elected officials are speaking about our growing encampments is disgusting.

Like y’all aren’t the ones who are actively privatizing public housing, criminalizing addiction & poverty, and “passing it on” to other branches of government to address...

[Women for Political Change @MNWFPC]

2017 Jacob: I commit to ending homelessness in Minneapolis in 5 years

2020 Jacob: Fooled y’all, I’ve actually cared more about my white, home-owning constituents than unsheltered folks this entire time

Shame on y’all @MayorFrey, @MplsWard10, and the entire MPLS city council for quietly selling Elliot Twins to the Royal Bank of Canada in the middle of a global pandemic.

We won’t forget. Vote them all out in 2021.

[Defend Glendale & Public Housing Coalition @DefendGlendale]

It’s Official: @MPLSPubHousing, @MayorFrey, @AbdiYWarsame & the entire City Council Privatized and Sold Elliot Twins Public Housing Apartments to the Royal Bank of Canada during COVID19 Pandemic! Read more: https://t.co/1dXRhUWn73

This morning @MplsParkBoard police gave residents at Powderhorn Park a 72 hour warning to vacate or be forcibly removed.😡

Now the police are evicting people experiencing unsheltered homelessness during a global pandemic.

Right now! Frontline workers are calling for an extension of @GovTimWalz’s stay-at-home order. Lifting the order in the middle of a pandemic will put thousands at unnecessary risk. https://t.co/SyB1hqkopw
