Portland, OR. ** Urgent ** Support of Hamlet 33 Requested!

June 23, 2022 by Jonathan Leave a Comment

Dear Hamlet 33 Supporters,

Hamlet 33 is a grassroots community supported group of Concordia residents who have coexisted with neighbors for more than two years.  Despite this working “tiny village” model, the City presses on to continue inhumane sweeps at the cost of the medical and mental health of the Concordia neighborhood economically disadvantaged residents.

We are highlighting our effort to fight against the sweep and correct the false narrative that leads the public to believe that the City’s offered “shelter” actually involves a form of supported transitional housing, which it does not.  This allows the housed to sleep well at night while the least fortunate members of our community are being traumatized and destabilized over and over.

Yesterday, many of you took actions to support Hamlet 33 (at NE 33rd & Lombard).

It’s helping. 

IF you haven’t contacted the Mayor’s office yet to voice your opposition to sweeping this community supported camp —Please take 5 minutes today and make a call:

·       Mayor Wheeler General Number: 503-823-4120
·       Skyler Brocker-Knapp (Senior Policy Advisor to Mayor Wheeler): 503-865-6957

Or send an email to:

mayorwheeler@portlandoregon.gov

Skyler.Brocker-Knapp@portlandoregon.gov
district1@multco.us

MappsOffice@portlandoregon.gov 

comm.rubio@portlandoregon.gov 

joann@portlandoregon.gov

CommissionerRyanOffice@portlandoregon.gov

Message:

Dear Mayor Wheeler,

I’m writing to ask your office to remove Hamlet 33 at NE 33rd and Dekum from the sweep list.

This is a community supported camp with over 30 supporters actively working to ensure the sanitary and safe living conditions for its 8 residents.

It’s not too much to ask for your office to let the community try to save the lives of 8 members of our the community who are MEDICALLY FRAGILE, BIPOC, and LGTBQIA+.  We are doing this because we are compassionate neighbors trying to make a difference. 

Help us help them by leaving them alone until SUPPORTED Transitional Housing options become available.  Overnight emergency shelters DO NOT COUNT as appropriate housing options.

Sincerely,

YOUR NAME, RESIDENT of X Neighborhood, Voter, Hamlet 33 Supporter

Other ways to support:

1) Bring a sign and chair to the camp today to show support for #stopthesweeps

2) We need to find wheels and axles for the tiny house at Hamlet 33.  

3) Venmo or PayPal @KHandaly or PayPal ZoraBHess@gmail.com

Call or text Keri Handaly 503-734-5604 or email if you have leads for the wheels and axles!

LAPD arrested LA CAN organizer Adam Smith inside City Hall while he was attempting to attend a public meeting — a clear attempt to intimidate and silence community voices.

Adam is facing a trespassing charge for simply showing up. Join us for court support and stick around after for some live music and to help film a music video.

The roots of Neoliberal Fascism in America today, The roots of Neoliberal Fascism in America today, and what we can do about it! We could write a whole article on the shit storm that has hit at the federal level and then reel off reactionary oppressive measures that local and state governments are imposing in response to the massive numbers of people they know damn well are going to be dying, suffering, hurting, living in the streets — and be mad as hell. https://conta.cc/4iWZe2j
