Press Conference Thursday, Dec 19 2pm @ City Hall Press Conference Thursday, Dec 19 2pm @ City Hall Portland, Oregon
Criminalization hitting the fan at National Level Criminalization hitting the fan at National Level The president threats are becoming a reality, the new head of the USICH Robert Marbut (News Article Link: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/robert-marbut_n_6738948 How A Traveling Consultant Helps America Hide The Homeless) “We don’t use the term shelter,” Marbut says. “We use the term transformational campus.” “Velvet Hammer, approach” Marbut offers the same basic advice to most cities: Cut the goodies and build a shelter like jails facilities. It’s a simplistic solution that avoids the larger complexities surrounding homelessness.

City Council spent all summer co-opting the phrase “reimagining public safety” as they rhetorically embraced alternatives to police in response to #BlackLivesMatter protests. This motion would criminalize a disproportionately Black population. #HousekeysNotHandcuffs

As of Nov 4, 1,141 unhoused Angelenos have died in 2020. On Nov 24, City Council will vote to ban sleeping under freeways. Taking away places of refuge from the rain will cause more to die from exposure to the elements. #housekeysnothandcuffs

Claudia Peschiutta@ReporterClaudia

It keeps getting worse.
Homeless deaths are now up 36% in LA County.
1,141 deaths in the first 10 months of this year, compared to 837 in the same period last year.
That's close to 4 deaths/day.

REPEAL, NOT REVISE 41.18! The proposed revision of 41.18 will make it illegal to be unhoused in the majority of Los Angeles City boundaries, aiming to reduce the visible evidence of the City’s failed response to homelessness while offering no solutions. #housekeysnothandcuffs
