Comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable. Meaning: food justice, care, services, love and activism for our unhoused relatives. Venmo: @VeniceCW
@hardlynormal For the most part, we tend to agree with you. But not all faith based organizations are that way. Others are walking the walk of Jesus of loving their neighbors foremost by the acts of mercy of feeding, clothing etc without ever mentioning the Bible.
Sadly, a not uncommon story. Sweeps are traumatizing in of itself. But the trauma leads to other trauma, and so on. We need our city to care for individuals more than the property where the individuals are.
I met an unhoused woman who has two years of disability payments sitting in a bank account she cannot access because she does not have an ID. After months we finally got her birth certificate and then she woke up to a sweep where all of her paperwork was thrown away.
If Jesus is the truth and the light and you don’t know the history of your people, nor care to establish any respectable relationship in embracing your ancient #Indigenous heritage on this land, then by your own Christian doctrine- you’re not even a follower of Jesus.
The horror. A bunch of outsiders have to run down the street and see poor and destitute humans in a public space, ruining their privileged extracurricular social activities. Where is the dept of justice? 🤦🏽♂️
We reject @LAPDChiefMoore's proposal about 'pretext' stops, which claims to restrict these stops, but in reality just gives officers ways to continue the same abusive, racist behavior under a new guise. Join the fight https://t.co/9MvYyRNX1n #LAPCFails
