skin with alameda county’s health care for the homeless presented their progam’s letter to the county board of super. healthcare for the homeless provided health services Alameda county’s unheltered residents. according to a report they released in 2015 based on their annual intake, there were 9,000 homeless folks that time in Oakland. libby says there’s only 1,7000. the county count in point says there is 2,700. based on un being in the streets we think health care for the homeless is closer to the corrupt numbers, and given that we know that the curbside popuaion has increased since 2015 we think its safe to estimate we really talking about 15,000 unsheltered in Oakland.

Repression Breeds Resistance: Honoring Community O Repression Breeds Resistance: Honoring Community Organizing

We must celebrate and honor that people remain steadfast in their commitment to organize as the US government has continued its mission of fascist dictatorial rule.
The tactics implemented by today’s American fascist dictatorship have long mirrored similar tyrannical tactics throughout history: “repression breeds resistance” is a relevant phrase now more than ever. 

Organizers across the country have demonstrated that this resistance can take many forms and that’s our strength and our beauty as we build community locally and across the country. 

Immigrants, queer & trans people, unhoused people, disabled people, people of color are the primary targets for oppression; however, under a fascist dictatorship, everyone becomes a target so long as you are advocating for basic human rights and not advancing the interests of the ruling class. Militarized police and immigration enforcement systems are created to protect fascists and their cronies from the pain and suffering they’re responsible for as they exploit the people’s wealth and resources. To protect the wealthy and politically elite, advancements must be made technologically and financially. Surveillance of pro-people movements have become widespread across the nation. Private security and local law enforcement agencies expanded, and the budget for the immigration and customs enforcement agency (ICE) spiked thanks to Trump’s Big Fascist Bill which rose from roughly $10 billion to a whopping $80 billion. When a country operates as a private enterprise for the exclusive profit of the ruling class, a core function of governance becomes violence, fear and oppression.  Read More: https://conta.cc/4auPudt

Imperialism always rehearses the same lie: that vi Imperialism always rehearses the same lie: that violence is “necessary,” theft is “security,” and its vision has more value than a people’s sovereignty. From Nigeria to Iran to Venezuela, the script never changes—only the names do.

People-Powered Change Wins They say “the revolutio People-Powered Change Wins
They say “the revolution will not be funded.” And it’s true. Those in power currently rely on vast amounts of money to orchestrate their influence. We are organizing more and more PEOPLE into this movement to bring down systemic oppression and build a more just society. We are inherently PEOPLE-POWERED.

Fascism is not “on its way”; it is here. And it is Fascism is not “on its way”; it is here. And it is no secret that authoritarians develop their tools of oppression on the most vulnerable among us – only to unleash them later against anyone who stands in their way.
