Spent the last couple days on Willow. They were displacing folks due to an event with a politician happening tonight. Sweeps are very traumatic, by design. Why so many cops? Why ANY cops?! Well, because it’s a Sweep. Get rid of tents. Most folks moved to the next alley.

Went on outreach today. HSOC was clearing encampments. DPW was clearing this tent. They didn’t see anyone in the tent. It was heavy when they moved it so they took a closer look & found her dead body. Her body was laying in that pile of trash until the Medical Examiner got there.

No one is advocating for people to be living/dying in tents on the street. This isn’t a lifestyle choice, it’s the result of extreme poverty. People aren’t “service resistant”. Homelessness is a major systemic issue. It’s been even more brutal during COVID.

They said there didn’t appear to be any visible trauma but the ME still needs to examine her body. As I looked at her dead body laying there in a pile of trash I was thinking about how this encapsulates the trauma of homelessness. Unhoused people are treated like trash.

The reality of homelessness is bad enough, but what seems to have gotten even worse during COVID is the myths, lies & straight up hatred of poor people. I guess a lot of it comes from fear (pearl clutching), but this stuff can have serious consequences.

What I view as being "unacceptable street behavior" is the City forcing people to have to sleep on the street and then turn around & abuse & traumatize them with Sweeps.
Today there are 914 people on the single adult shelter waitlist for a temporary bed
"Compassion” can no longer mean “anything goes.” I want this to be the decade when residents and visitors to our city can enjoy every neighborhood, every day, without fear of crime or unacceptable street behavior.

SF has the MOST anti-homeless laws out of any city in CA (SO progressive🙄) The lawsuit doesn’t stop the City from actually providing real resources & safe & adequate housing. On the contrary, it’s about the City trashing folks belongings & telling them to🖕instead of helping.
It’s not a crime to be homeless. We can offer shelter and services for unhoused people suffering from mental illness and drug addiction. Yet San Francisco’s empathy and generosity shouldn’t normalize tents in every public space. And if crime happens, there must be accountability.…

Go ask your church/faith community if they are willing to do this. When they say “Can’t due to liability🤷🏻♂️” respond “Kelley’s brother sells church insurance & he says that’s BS.” Then remind them of their teachings. When there is no room in the inn, open your parking lot.
Imagine if all churches used their facilities to help their homeless neighbors.

The level of suffering on our streets is off the hook and it’s extremely difficult to get folks appropriate help. The notion of people being “service resistant” is a cruel lie. The political games being played across the country right now are shameful and scary.

Again, NOTHING in the injunction is stopping the city from actually helping people get into housing. What it’s stopping (in theory) is the City trashing peoples belongings & making them “move along 🖕” often via threat of enforcement. Sweeps just pushes folks to the next block.

And yet the mayor has been bragging about reducing tents by 34% since she got into office. By “reducing tents” she means stealing people’s survival gear and telling them to “move along”.

The store owner was shot & killed b/c of her 🏳️🌈. This is the mountain town I grew up in. I was visiting there a couple weeks ago & saw the flags on this store & thought ‘that’s dangerous to put up here’. I guess I’m a little on guard after growing up as a queer kid there.

Hmm… wonder why someone might “reject” a congregate shelter with beds 3 feet apart from each other during a pandemic?🤔
When people “reject” services, it says nothing about them. It merely means the services need to be improved.
What business would survive by questioning the person who doesn’t buy its product rather than question how they can improve their product?

Mayor London Breed is exploiting the concerns of a vulnerable community in order to promote a “law and order” agenda meant to benefit political and financial interests. This unjustified, and in some cases, illegal maneuver is cause for alarm. 1/

It’s so crazy that sweeps are the norm across the country. The majority of people are completely ignorant of how traumatic Sweeps are. Lots of folks believing the lie that people are “service resistant”. The truth is that the system is torturing people.

The City of LA’s negligence and incompetence killed her.
Angie was recovering from a previous aneurysm and under doctor’s orders to avoid stress. She lived at an encampment in Harbor City. Angie collapsed during a SWEEP after spending all night moving her stuff.

People aren’t “service resistant”, the City is resistant to providing adequate & appropriate services.
Note how they say the people "refused all City services" but also say "for lack of ability to house the couple together with their dog." That's not a refusal of services, that's a failure of the city to offer adequate services!

This would be a great opportunity for folks in SF to practice NOT calling 911 on unhoused people who only have a tent to live in (if that) during a pandemic because you don’t want to see “visible homelessness”. Instead of calling SFPD maybe ask if they need a dry blanket or socks
Most COVID cases are mild & can be treated at home. Look for emergency COVID warning signs but only call 911 or go to the emergency dept. for life-threatening medical emergencies. Keep medics available for life-threatening situations. For more info:

These folks got hit, yet again, by SFPD & DPW telling them to “move along”. It was the northern stations ‘homeless outreach cop’, or whatever they call them. They aren’t service providers they are law enforcement. Outreach doesn’t require a gun.
“They don’t like the homeless. They don’t want the homeless here. They want us dead.” This is what 3 straight days of harassment, after countless times being swept, looks like. No real solutions, just perpetual displacement & trauma.

🧵Bureaucrats lying is nothing new, but this is a really gross one. The former head of the SF homeless Dept telling SFPD to give unhoused folks 647e MISDEMEANOR for a tent during a PANDEMIC when resources are so lacking that they shut down the shelter waitlist. Nice find

Short clip but it captures what it’s like trying to talk about resources with folks during a Sweep. The noise & spray of the power washer makes it so difficult to communicate. Does this look “trauma informed” to you?! It’s not. It’s causing trauma.

“Encampments” shouldn’t be an option on the 311 app...
really messed up that even in a pandemic, SF is still rapidly responding to housed people’s requests to kick unhoused people off the street
here’s one: resident asks SF to “Take them to the ss coronavirus ship in Oakland and get rid of them”
2.5hrs later: “Encampment removed.”

Again, people are NOT “service resistant”, the system is resistant to providing adequate and appropriate services. Does this look tRaUmA iNfOrMeD to you?! 🤔
Someone emailed me a photo of Vegas’s courtyard model. Notice the barbed wire. Homeless people are allowed to sleep on the floor. They are given a mat. There is no social distancing. This is what Las Vegas invests in to solve homelessness.

The procession that’s headed to the Vigil for those who have died on our streets this past year just started. They are carrying banners with the names of people who died. They are headed to City Hall and then on to the UN Plaza where the vigil will be.
