    thank you to everyone who came out today! cops announced that the residents are trespassing (some have been there for 8 years!!) and we will continue to show up to defend them + their homes. Keep your eyes out for more mobilization alerts!

    I'm hearing reports that a ppl near West Grand Ave and Wood St want support for eviction defense! A contractor for GameChanger LLC, owned by billionaire Fred Craves, has been slowing trying to get residents off land they live on. Hearing works the cops are planning to come now.

    We mentioned earlier, folks in Oakland were facing a sweep and people mobilized to defend. This morning a fire started "coincidentally". We are sharing in solidarity.

    These images just came in from the Union Point encampment Please head down there to help the residents if you are able No matter how this happened, it's going to get blamed on the residents This feels too much to be coincidental in my gut Please RT Journalists may not use

    You're absolutely right. The Tuff Sheds goal is to appear to be solving the problem of homelessness and to have an alternative dwelling ot move people to when they want to shut a camp. But its a normative failure, an important point to make when they defend the practice

    The Bay Conservation and Development Commission ordered the eviction on Union Point. Spread the word. They are doing it everywhere. It’s time to hold the BCDC accountable for their mass eviction programs.

    After two years and millions of dollars spent on the Lake Merritt Community Cabins, its clear they're a failure. Out of 196 people who resided at LMCC: [46] exited to the street, more than any other destination. Only 15 people were rehoused in a rental dwelling of any kind.

    City Council passed the Encampment Mistreatment Policy on Tues - against overwhelming opposition - by 8-0. Shame on every councilmember, but the ruling class will always work in its own interests. “Progressive” politicians will always sell us out. Join encampment defense now!

    Alameda County Sheriffs are attempting to evict homeless residents of the Wood Street community here in Oakland. About a dozen activists including some with are here — they say they are trying to prevent that from happening.

    What. Is. This.

    Looks like Philly PD smashed the windows of a passing vehicle that was trying to turn around, then dragged the parents out and beat them on the ground in front of their terrified children. []
