#LandBack Proposal Given to UC Hastings & the SF Mayor By Houseless/disabled, indigenous youth and elders who are “Touring” the Tenderloin demanding housing and reparations for Thousands of houseless San Franciscans facing motel evictions
Houseless and formerly unhoused people will tour the Occupied Village of Yelamu aka San Francisco’s Tenderloin District where UC Hastings hoards Mama Earth while people sleep on the street and the Mayor plans to evict thousands of homeless folks from motels she begrudgingly granted them 

What: Stolen Land/Hoarded Resources Tour thru the Tenderloin & #LandBack proposal presented
When: 3pm TODAY Monday, Nov 16th 
Where: 1st Tour Stop UC Hastings- McAllister & Hyde street-corner – 2nd stop TBA

The Stolen land/Hoarded Resources Tours, loosely based on the Bhoodan Movement of India launched by Vinoba Bhave who walked through India asking wealthy “land-owners” to gift their land to landless peoples will be sharing a similar vision with SF poltricksters, akkkademik land-stealers & wealth-hoarders who are planning to evict thousands of Houseless mostly disabled, majority Black and Brown elders who are currently residing in motels onto the freezing San Francisco streets ( and 500 residents)  four days before the holidaze.

“This is another example of London Breed’s absolute hate for poor and houseless San Franciscans,” said Wanda P, one of the houseless elders currently residing in motels who was given notice to leave on Dec 21st

We evict you, London Breed!” said Leroy Moore, disabled, formerly houseless co-founder of Homefulness and Krip Hop Nation.

“Mayor London Breed begrudgingly granted motel rooms to houseless San Franciscans because of the global pandemic, she never meant for any houseless people to be housed permanently only and the only reason we were in these motels in the first place is because its dangerous to be un-sheltered in a pandemic,” said Tommy P. a currently unhoused San Franciscan resident who was already evicted from a motel room in San Francisco.

“Academic insitutions like UC hastings have “bought” over two blocks of the Tenderloin district in Occupied Yelamu, (San Francisco), filed a lawsuit against the CIty for its “homeless problem” and hired private security to “sweep” houseless residents off the streets around “their” buildings, which is why we are proposing that UC hastings give-back one of these hoarded buildings to houseless residents of the Tenderloin so they can build their own housing like the Homefulness model and the Mayor cease and desist all evictions until permanent housing is secured, ” said “Tiny” Gray-Garcia, formerly houseless, co-founder of POOR Magazine and a resident and co-builder of Homefulness.  

“Leadership requires making space for everyone.  In a time of COVID on Winter Solstice, Mayor Breed is attempting to turn people out onto the streets without a plan in place.  Creating the further dehumanization of people by not acknowledging them as fellow human beings.  During this eight months of shelter in place, the leadership had time to create an alternative to the hotel vouchers, if they truly wanted to “fix” the problem.  There are no new shelters, no-income/low low income housing built.  There is no plan… The worst kind of Grinch, the mentality that was taught out of colonization…Colonization created poverty/Greed and homelessness.  Facism creates laws that throw away other human beings  and US Hastings is acting just as the royalty and gentry that use laws to sweep away human made conditions.  Breed and Hastings Law school are on the wrong side of history.  Leaders should create a better way for ALL not create more destruction,” Corrina Gould, Indian People Organizing for Change.

On this tour poverty/indigenous/disability skolaz will be sharing actual solutions to homelessness, not more hae and evictions, like the medicine of the BankofComeUnityReparations‘ Homefulness Housing Fund, funded by folks with hoarded wealth that enables poor and houseless people to “purchase” stolen Mama Earth so they can build their own self-determined housing /healing villages modeled after the Homefulness Project in Oakland.

“We come courageously, upholding our ancestors birthright; we come in peace offering the medicine of Redistribution of stolen land and hoarded resources… Ase” , said Aunti Frances Moore, Formerly Houseless Black Panther, Founder of Self-Help Hunger Program and Co-founder of Homefuness.

“I LIVE IN THE TENDERLOIN AND I WITNESS THE DESPAIR OF HOMELESS HUMAN BEINGS EVERYDAY TRYING DESPERATELY TO EEK OUT SOME TYPE OF AN EXISTENCE IN THIS UNSYMPATHETIC CITY!  IT SEEMS AS IF THE BILLIONAIRE ROD CONWAY HAS MESMERIZED MAYOR BREED WITH HIS MONEY AND INFLUENCE.  THERE IS A WAR BEING WAGED AGAINST THE HOMELESS IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THE TENDERLOIN IS ON THE FRONT LINE OF THAT BATTLE.  GET OFF YOUR BUTT AND JOIN US!!!  DARE TO STRUGGLE, DARE TO WIN, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE,” said Malik Washington, San Francisco Bay View Newspaper.

We invite ALL fellow land liberators, reparators, CONfused but conscious wealth-hoarders,media producers, poverty skolaz, houseless folks, advocates, revolutionaries. UC students and community to join us.

The concept of Homefulness and ComeUnity Reparations is explained in the recently released publication the Poverty Scholarship Book. 

As with all the previous tours we will be launching with All Nations Prayer for Ancestors and Mama Earth-

 2019 Tour in SF- 
2019 Tour in Occupied Huchuin (Oakland)

Herstory on the Tours:
This powerful nation-wide tour was launched in 2016 in the stolen village of Yelamu (San Francisco’s Nob Hill and Pacific Heights neighborhoods) and has so far “toured” wealth-hoarder enclaves such as SillyCon Valley, Beverly Hills, The Hamptons, Park Avenue and the Main Line of Philadelphia to name a few.

This tour through stolen indigenous land and the neighborhoods of the very rich, is led by 1st Nations Ohlone Warrior Corrina Gould, Poverty Skola” Lisa “Tiny” Gray-Garcia, fellow Race, Disability, Indigenous Skolaz from POOR Magazine/Prensa POBRE, and Leroy Moore from Krip Hop Nation. Co-sponsors so far include The Self-Help Hunger Program and Idriss Stelley Foundation.

“We homeless, working-class, Kaged/criminalized, disabled and 1st Nations people are peacefully crossing the visible and invisible lines that separate us poor folks from the “very rich” to ask them to begin the healing, change-making, process of decolonizing, redistributing and reparating their stolen and/or hoarded, inherited wealth and/or land ” Concluded Lisa Tiny Gray-Garcia, formerly houseless co-founder of POOR Magazine and author of Growing Up Homeless in America and the upcoming PeoplesTextBook- Poverty Scholarship – Poor People Theory, Art, Words and Tears Across Mama Earth

Two models that Homeless and 1st Nations folks are presenting is the poor people-led self-determined movement called Homefulness in Deep East Oakland (Huchuin Ohlone Land) as well as launch Homefulness movements in every city where unhoused and 1st Nations people dwell as well as the Sogorea Te Land Trust which is a Native Woman run land trust based in the land of the 1st peoples who lead it.

Co-sponsored by San Francisco Bay View Newspaper, KRIP Hop Nation, Indian People Organizing for Change and more to come.. For organizations who would like to co-sponsor, join us, speak or walk with us – pls email poormag@gmail.com  or just show up at McAllister and Hyde streets at 3pm

Part 12... Infractions and Due Process Rights Ant Part 12...
Infractions and Due Process Rights 
Anti-homeless laws and ordinances and their application have, in fact, created a loophole that allows for the circumvention of a homeless person’s right to due process under law. The process by which homeless people face repeated incarceration generally follows this scenario: A homeless man is sleeping on the sidewalk. A local ordinance makes it illegal to do so. The man gets a ticket and is later arrested for not paying the ticket. He spends a couple of days in jail, and is just as homeless now as he was before, only now he has a criminal record. This was the case for many of the individuals interviewed by RWHP. One man relayed the familiar scenario, “I was sleeping in a tent in a hidden spot near the freeway. They gave me a ticket for trespassing. I don’t have money to pay it. I’ve never been in jail before. I keep to myself, but now they’re going to make me a convict just for sleeping.”

Part 11 ... California’s “anti-Okie” laws of Part 11 ...
California’s “anti-Okie” laws of the 1930s and the South’s Jim Crow laws in effect from the late 1800s to the 1950s are examples of the kinds of local laws overturned in previous generations. Yet, modern “quality of life” legislation and enforcement targeting homeless people can be found in communities across the nation.
The City Council postponed their vote on the 41.18 The City Council postponed their vote on the 41.18 expansion to August 2nd. If passed, this motion will add approximately 1,900 additional sites–a 376% increase in exclusionary zones across the city. 41.18 would then cover at least 88 sq miles (that’s 20% of the entire city).

Services Not Sweeps is urging EVERYONE to come to City Hall at 9:00am on August 2 and tell City Council that 41.18 is BAD POLICY and should be repealed.

When we fight, we win. 
But this fight isn’t over.

The community flooded City Hall inside and out on Wednesday to protest the expansion of 41.18 but the fight is not over. It’s clear that President Nury Martinez and friends weren’t prepared for our numbers and realized they were unable to rally their (few but loud) 41.18 supporters. Council delayed the vote to Tuesday August 2nd in an attempt to erode our momentum and stifle our voices. 
 
We won’t let that happen. The fight now is to keep the pressure on and show up next week!! See you next Tuesday 9am. Bring a friend.
 
WHO: You and your friends!
WHERE: City Hall, 200 N Spring St 
WHEN: Tuesday August 2nd at 9:00am
HOW: Read more details on our toolkit.

In fact, however, enforcement is very much impacted by both skin color and appearance. Local governments cannot legally discriminate against people strictly because they do not have housing. Federal protections prohibit local and state governments from removing people from their communities due to the color of their skin or economic/employment status.
Part 9... This nationwide pattern has escaped Civi Part 9... This nationwide pattern has escaped Civil Rights protections because on their face, these programs are not clearly discriminatory. Local laws are often drafted in such a way as to appear to apply equally to all people in a community.
Part 8... While certain communities highlight diff Part 8...
While certain communities highlight different controls at different times, often depending upon the outcome of local elections and legislative and court efforts, all have one primary common goal: to remove the presence and resulting impact of people without housing from local communities. As the Mayor of Las Vegas stated when she outlawed feeding people in city parks: “If we stop feeding them, they will leave.”
Part 7... This type of ticket is not uncommon. The Part 7...
This type of ticket is not uncommon. The most common public space and activity restrictions are those aimed at camping, sitting, lying, or trespassing on either public or private land, panhandling, sleeping, blocking the sidewalk and possessing “stolen property,” such as shopping carts and milk crates—to name just a few. Furthermore, these restrictions are often implemented in conjunction with the closure of public parks and the outlawing of free food and clothing distribution.
