In the middle of the vigil for the homeless man killed last night. There are no words. @NYCMayor : you must create real solutions to homelessness. NYC Media: you must stop vilfying and criminalizing people for trying to survive. That includes you, @nypost .

If this report is accurate, @GovKathyHochul has decided to continue Cuomo's tragic lack of commitment to ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Our communities deserve better.

Right to shelter saves lives. It’s abominable that @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor are trying to dismantle it and scapegoating immigrants. We’ll say it all day everyday: HOUSING IS A HUMAN RIGHT. 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Harm reduction saves lives. Getting these supplies into people's hands is a major achievement, but we still need @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins to pass the Safer Consumption Services Act to offer connections to care for people in need.

A new vending machine in Brooklyn is attracting lots of attention, but not because it sells snacks. Instead, it freely dispenses Naloxone kits, Fentanyl test strips, birth control packs and baggies with tools for safer smoking.

What happens when someone refuses hospitalization? This seems like it boils down to letting the NYPD hospitalize people by force, an escalation of @NYCMayor ’s sweeps.

Update: From Q&A, still not entirely clear what standards police/EMS/clinicians will use to determine whether one lacks basic needs; whether that's attributable to mental health issues. Mayor/deputies/lawyers say it'll be determined case by case after training that starts today.

@HWCharlesKing @HealthGAP @SpeakerMcCarthy For those who are new here: Housing Works was founded in 1990 by members of ACT UP, the international activist collective dedicated to ending AIDS. We’re proud to use nonviolent civil disobedience, among other tactics, to demand that our government take action to end AIDS.

. @nycmayor will you listen and finally deliver real help to New Yorkers experiencing homeless other than unsafe shelters with grotesque living conditions? We're listening to our community, and your praise of the shelters is a lie. Show up and tell de Blasio THIS AIN'T IT.

New: 9 homeless people at barracks-style group shelter in Brooklyn were ‘exposed to someone with Covid-19’; shelter requested ‘isolation and transportation’ for them. NYC’s relocation of 8,000 people from hotels to group shelters is still on (though paused thru Tues). [1/2]
