Ways to Help with the March for Homes Rights and Dignity

Two weeks after the community sent a letter to the Mayor and held an action at City Hall demanding an end to the insane sweeps, there has not even been a reply from the Mayor. Sweeps are still rampant across the city, under the direction of Mayor Hancock. Police, and now police cameras, are stationed at the Triangle and other areas people gather to survive – waking people up and moving them along the minute they lay down to sleep. Many people have been pushed from place to place around the city every day. People are losing opportunities for housing due to case managers being unable to find folks scattered in the sweeps. People are freezing with no protection from the cold. Lives are at risk.
This insanity and inhumanity must end.
The community will again join in action on Saturday December 15th 2018 unless our demands are met. We will march from the Triangle to City Hall to bring the cry of the people to the Mayor. We will carry models of housing, tiny homes, tents, and blankets to represent the housing we want most and basic protection we are asking we at least be given now in our immediate emergency need for survival and dignity.
We demand Mayor Hancock immediately take these steps:

● Stop the sweeps
● Stop taking people’s blankets and property
● Provide land and legal variance for tent dwelling for people without homes
Join us Saturday December 15th 10am at Lawrence and Park Ave. March for homes, rights, and dignity.
