City committee decides homeless encampment policy needs revision before voting https://t.co/PsRWhlUL8G

[Jorge DeFendini🇵🇷🌹🇵🇸 @JorgeDeFendini]

The community deserves a legislature that can hold it's law enforcement accountable, regardless of "optics."

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

A few years ago, this victory would've been unimaginable.

Today, this is proof that our generation is unstoppable — we have the power to bring down the fossil fuel industry and win a Green New Deal.

2. “take orders” I am a part of a coalition and have an equal voice
3. there is an obvious need for ancillary support with regards to MH & !pd buying military grade weapons and riot gear isn’t helping their ‘staffing’ issues

[West Fox @westdfox]

I said nothing when you were recording and cops were on the scene when i asked you to give privacy was when the majority of the cops left and I was trying to solve a problem with a young mom who felt uncomfortable with your presence

[West Fox @westdfox]

was perusing through the Tompkins Public Safety report and noticed that the homeless are being tracked for public safety?? In their eyes homelessness is already a crime they’re just trying to codify their belief.

[Ithaca Tenants Union @ithacaTU]

A new policy is coming before Common Council to ban camping by homeless Ithacans- It fails to address housing, safety, or health, and instead further displaces unhoused people under threat of enforcement. We are pushing back- sign the petition here: https://t.co/wKP4EFDr6z

[Leah Goodridge @leahfrombklyn]

I think it’s very instructive to look at neighborhoods which underwent gentrification 20+ yrs ago and see what residents were saying back then.

Here are residents of Park Slope, Bklyn in the 1980s. Everything they’re saying is true.

purple hair and nose rings 💀

this makes me think of the Wall Street financial info analyst I knew who was homeless but used a NYT&R club membership to shower and store his suits. discriminatory reductionism will be the end of us.

[The Intellectualist @highbrow_nobrow]

Fox News host Jesse Watters calls for viewers to "stigmatize" unhoused people:

"You have to call them what they are: These are people that have failed in life and they're on their deathbed."

[West Fox @westdfox]

like housing in LA is so messed up but the only folks I knew/saw getting housing + creating housing was from Ryan White funding 🤡😰

[West Fox @westdfox]

this is actually so scary

[NY Working Families Party @NYWFP]

Kayla Matos has been a leader in her community as the Deputy Director of the Southside Community Center. We look forward to electing Kayla to Ithaca Common Council where she can continue her life’s work of giving back to the community that raised her.
