We are heartbroken for Andres Guardados' family. As we learned in this interview, Andres began working as a security guard after his father's job in the restaurant industry was impacted by COVID19. They are a struggling family from Koreatown. Please support:

Based on what we can all hear, Nury Martinez is objectively: -Anti-Black -Anti-Oaxacan -Anti-Asian -Anti-renter -A person who thinks racist jokes are hilarious These statements and the joy she takes in them are dismaying and disqualifying.

There actually is already a FEMA response available. The federal government has been offering 100% FEMA reimbursement for non-congregate shelter (e.g., hotels). Instead, we’re spending millions on enforcement when there are shelter beds for only 39% of the unsheltered population.

“If a homeless person says no (to shelter), there will be consequences,” mayoral candidate @JoeBuscaino just said of his proposed ballot measure, promising it would end street camping in Los Angeles through a “FEMA-like response” and then enforcement.

Jordan Neely was murdered for making someone uncomfortable. A vigilante decided that was enough reason to choke him to death. Then the police let him walk free. Neely's killing was at the hands of an individual, but it's also a product of how we talk about unhoused people.

Earlier today, LA City Council held a long and procedurally confusing discussion about homelessness. So what just happened? Tl;dr: the city council waited until the last minute to reveal and pass a motion criminalizing homelessness.

BREAKING: Services Not Sweep's statement on Councilman Ridley-Thomas' 41.18 substitute motion that was passed today. This policy decision, made largely in secret by just 7 people, will impact the lives of thousands of the city’s most vulnerable residents.

As temperatures are soaring, LA City Council has gone on a month-long recess before opening up a single cooling center. There’s no where to go to escape the heat if you’re unhoused. We’re piloting a DIY AC project to help our most vulnerable neighbors stay cool.

There is literally no logical reason to be doing this. It’s just bold face harassment and a power play.

Important piece from the LA Times about LA's complete overhaul of its approach to homelessness. The piece makes it very clear that this is a hasty and haphazard approach that is based in a desire to remove people, not to house them.

L.A. just changed its entire approach to homelessness. Does it place politics above need?

Los Angeles has undertaken a major shift in its approach to homelessness, one that puts a priority on clearing unsightly street encampments.

Not going to share the link, but it is absolutely irresponsible that @latimes and @AbcarianLAT directed public hate towards a specific encampment with the location in the headline. The LA Times would NEVER put a housed subject's address in the headline. Totally reckless.

Prioritize hotels as safe options for housing, not tiny homes, not congregate shelters. At least 70,000 hotel units will stay empty for the next 5 years. #SeizeTheHotels @CD6Nury

🚨🚨 #NO300FTBAN 🚨🚨 LA City Council is set to pass a new ordinance tomorrow that would ban protest and the act of planning protests within 300 ft of a “target’s” home. The new law would deputize private citizens to sue those who violate the ordinance.

We’re outside @MayorOfLA ’s house. We are demanding that he commit to vetoing the proposed 41.18 and repeal all laws that criminalize homelessness.
