Records also show that Mandelman's office told GrowSF they were disappointed by the addition of mandatory housing to the legislation bc it "watered down" the focus on shelters which is their best shot at addressing "street conditions" (i.e. allowing them to sweep homeless people)

Supervisor Mandelman and billionaire-funded GrowSF leads Steven Buss and Sachin Agarwal are also on a very friendly texting basis.

The billionaire-backed GrowSF PAC in San Francisco has been getting cozy with SF officials lately, here they are scheduling meetings with Supervior Stefani's office to "learn more about their properties" and "how they can support".

They mostly seem to be recruiting all kinds of well-paid tech workers to flood the BOS with emails asking them to defend "regular" residents from crime. Wonder what they mean by "regular"?

Not exactly a secret, it's on their website of course. They've been using funds from Chris Larsen and G*rry T*n to push this and other email campaigns.

All of this has been provided to the court through detailed public records, testimony, etc. which led to the court injunction in the first place. This motion is simply another attempt by the city to do everything it can OTHER than house people.

Notably: not only are homeless people in SF often not offered any shelter when they are swept, the shelter they are offered is usually totally inadequate for people's needs. Further, the city sets aside fewer beds each day than there are people they sweep.

The city's arguments here have been hashed out in prior hearings for this case and elswhere. The judge is familiar with it so I would be surprised if this sways her.

The city argues that the court is conflating individual rights to shelter with a collective right. Since the city policy is to offer shelter before sweeping someone, they say the process should be legal.

The city says their old policy was to only sweep people who were "voluntarily" homeless (lol) and just because the city didn't follow that old policy doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to...um...try to comply with it...

Urban Alchemy is a de facto police force being sued for labor & civil rights violations. UA hired former head of homeless sweeps in SF & their director Lena Miller was close w former DPW head Nuru who pushed for contracting w UA before being arrested by the FBI for corruption.

New: S.F. tapped Urban Alchemy to respond to low-level 911 calls about homelessness instead of police in a new pilot. Community groups who campaigned for the program are pushing back on the pick. Will the team, whoever runs it, have an impact?sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s-f

The opening ceremony of the Workers’ Olympics in Vienna involved 4,000 people and ended with an oversized capitalist’s head breaking into pieces. (Source: Antifascism, Sports, Sobriety edited by Kuhn)

The 1931 Workers Olympics was a much bigger event than the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles which was run for profit with Coke as a sponsor and was organized by administrators who opposed women's participation and were anti-semitic/collaborated with the Nazis.

Games were open to all genders, races, religions, national origins, and abilities, and instead of national flags or anthems they used red banners.

The guidebook said "In our Olympics, nations do not compete *against* each other, but athletes from all countries compete *with* each other as comrades...We have the same enemy: capitalism, which has created nationalism and fosters it.”

During the period of Red Vienna when socialists had power they hosted an explicitly anti-capitalist Workers Olympics w 100,000 athletes from 26 countries & a quarter million spectators. Instead of competitive nationalism it stressed internationalism, solidarity, and peace.
