La desinformación en torno a la falta de vivienda La desinformación en torno a la falta de vivienda es una narrativa construida a lo largo de décadas de cambios en las políticas públicas. Esta narrativa culpa intencionalmente a las personas por encontrarse sin vivienda, en vez de examinar el carácter estructural y sistémico de la pobreza.

¡Acompaña al Western Regional Advocacy Project en un encuentro educativo comunitario para comprender el contexto histórico y las causas de la situación actual de la pobreza y la falta de vivienda!

✨CUÁNDO - Sábado 15 de agosto
✨DÓNDE - 518 Valencia, Eric Quezada Center
✨QUÉ - Encuentro educativo comunitario
✨HORA - 2:00 p. m.
✨Se ofrecerán refrigerios ligeros

Sabemos que la pobreza no es simplemente una cuestión de elección. La opresión no es consecuencia de malas decisiones individuales. ¡Es importante comprender por qué nos encontramos en este contexto actual de auge del fascismo para organizarnos mejor!

¡Muchos problemas, una sola lucha!

Juntas y juntos somos más fuertes, y los problemas que todas las personas enfrentamos tienen un enemigo común. Unamos nuestras iniciativas de organización, porque la única manera de salir adelante es hacerlo en conjunto.

El evento forma parte del congreso comunitario anual de WRAP, donde organizadores de toda la costa oeste se reúnen en San Francisco para compartir información sobre sus iniciativas locales, intercambiar tácticas y fortalecer las iniciativas de WRAP.

Si no puedes asistir al evento de la tarde, WRAP organizará una noche cultural por la noche para destacar a poetas, músicos y artistas de distintas luchas. ¡Acompáñanos a celebrar nuestra resistencia!

¿No puedes asistir al encuentro educativo, pero aun así quieres apoyar el trabajo de WRAP?
Haz una donación en bit.ly/wrapf2f26. Todos los fondos recaudados se destinarán a cubrir los costos del congreso. El enlace se encuentra en nuestro Linktr.ee

✨CUÁNDO - Sábado 15 de agosto
✨DÓNDE - 518 Valencia, Eric Quezada Center
✨QUÉ - Noche cultural organizada por WRAP
✨HORA - Puertas Abren 6 PM
✨¡SE OFRECERÁ COMIDA!

Ante la intensificación de los ataques contra todas nuestras comunidades, el arte sigue siendo una herramienta poderosa para compartir nuestras experiencias, comprender las luchas de otras personas y ampliar la lucha colectiva por un futuro mejor.
Desde la aprobación del Gran Proyecto de Ley Fascista, las comunidades colocadas en situaciones de vulnerabilidad por decisiones humanas enfrentan hostilidades aún más severas: desde la reducción del acceso a los servicios sociales y la criminalización de las personas queer y trans hasta el secuestro de nuestros vecinos inmigrantes. La lista sigue y sigue, pero no permitiremos que estos fascistas nos arrebaten la dignidad; en cambio, nos uniremos y conectaremos nuestras luchas.

¡La única manera de salir adelante es hacerlo en conjunto!

Cantemos.
Bailemos.
Y compartamos el pan.

Reunámonos para conocer las luchas de otras personas y compartir recursos. La velada también incluirá una rifa con artículos promocionales de integrantes de WRAP, aportes de artistas locales y mucho más.

The disinformation surrounding homelessness is a c The disinformation surrounding homelessness is a constructed narrative built over decades of policy changes. This narrative intentionally puts blame on individuals for experiencing homelessness instead of looking at the structural & systemic character of poverty.

Join the Western Regional Advocacy Project for a community teach in to understand the historical context and basis for the state of poverty & homelessness today! 

✨WHEN - Saturday, August 15 
✨WHERE - 518 Valencia, Eric Quezada Center 
✨WHAT - Community teach in 
✨TIME - 2:00pm 
✨Light snacks provided 

We know poverty is not simply a choice issue. Oppression is not a result of individual bad choices. There is importance in understanding why we’re in this current context of rising fascism to better organize! 

Many issues, one fight! 

Together we are stronger and the issues we are all facing have a common enemy. Let us link our organizing with one another because together is the only way through! 

The event is a part of WRAP’s annual community congress where organizers from across the west coast convene in San Francisco to share about their local organizing, exchange tactics, and strengthen the initiatives across WRAP! 

If you can’t make it to the afternoon event, WRAP is hosting a cultural night in the evening to highlight poets, musicians and artists across many struggles. Join us for a celebration of our resistance! 

Can’t make it to the teach in but still want to support the work of WRAP? 
Donate to bit.ly/wrapf2f26 where all funds raised will go towards the costs of the congress! Link can be found in our link tree.

With the intensified attacks on all of our communities; artwork remains a powerful tool to share our experiences, understand each other’s struggles, and broaden the collective fight for a better future. 
Since the passage of the Big Fascist Bill, communities in man-made vulnerable positions face even harsher hostilities from shrinking accessibility to social services to criminalization of queer and trans people to the kidnapping of our immigrant neighbors. The list goes on and on but we won’t let these fascists take away our dignity, instead we will come together and bridge our fights! 

The way through is together! 

Let us sing. 
Let us dance. 
Let us break bread. 

Let us come together to learn about each other’s struggles and share resources. The evening will also include a raffle showcasing swag from WRAP members, local artist contributions, and many more!!!

Check out WRAP sweeps handout to learn the truth d Check out WRAP sweeps handout to learn the truth directly from the streets on the impact of sweeps! 

WRAP members continue to fight sweeps in their communities through utilizing documented street outreach to dispel stereotypes on what a “sweep” actually is. 

Sweeps fracture communities, displace people, & damage physical and mental health. 

When asked, what alternatives/services were people offered? 88% were not offered any services and 74% had all of their belongings thrown away at the sweep. Sweeps are not a solution to addressing homelessness but rather another phase in the cycle of homelessness!

Sweeps are a way to push people further into the m Sweeps are a way to push people further into the margins of society and out of the public eye. They are a sham response to a manufactured issue. Sweeps will never solve homelessness, instead they play into the vicious cycle of homelessness. 

Organizers keep fighting back! Our outreach to the community tells us the trends of criminalization, dehumanization, & a gap in actually moving towards viable solutions are on full display. 

Criminalization of poor and unhoused people will continue to expand so long as the reins on America’s neoliberal approach to fiscal and social policy remain untethered. 

We must seek the commonalities between our communities in order to thread the power of our organizing together!

For 21 years, we’ve worked alongside @lacanetwork_ For 21 years, we’ve worked alongside @lacanetwork_official and other local groups, with community outreach guiding all our campaigns. 

The #Right2Rest Bill was introduced in Colorado, Oregon, and California, and WRAP member groups in all three states built it together from the same outreach to our collective community. 

It lost nine times across those states. 

The point was never just the bill. The point was the movement behind it. #HousekeysNotSweeps #HousekeysNotHandcuffs #WeWillNotDisappear
