Constructed in '96, Squirrel Hill Falls park has barred regular community access for 23 years. Reclaimed on 4.13.19, this privately owned public amenity is now known as People's Park. What space in your hood would you like to reclaim? #WeCallUs #DisappearingBlackness
It’s cold out there.
We still need donations of blankets and thermals. Just drop off at 22nd and the Ben Franklin Parkway.
Fake winter construction project at Suburban Station.
Locked Spruce Street entrance to Walnut-Locust.
Transit police harassing people in 30th St Station.
Glad to see our housing policy moved to one centered on treating people with dignity.

See the live streams of two protests last night in South #Minneapolis after #DerekChauvin was released from maximum security prison on a non-cash bond of $1M: unicornriot.ninja/2020/ex-co…
While the #VicePresidentialDebate was airing, inter-agency forces kettled & arrested dozens.

Ask the @PhilaHsgAuthPHA how it turns 40 houses (5 bedroom and 6 bedroom houses into 1 bedroom senior housing in segregated housing.
The new housing is not new. They are taking away from other sources.

Philly DSA leaders just blocked a resolution to create a mutual aid committee that would serve the most vulnerable during a pandemic.
In case you needed another example as to why I have issues with these people.
.@MichelleLhooq. Amazing article. Thank you!
“We’re not trying to appease middle class sensibilities,” said organizer Sterling Johnson when I asked about his shirt. “Yeah, we are drug users. Be nice to us!”
Via shirt is from @HIPSDC.

We encourage people to fight for housing and healthcare as well as for an end to the war on drugs. These continue to be factors fueling our ongoing overdose crisis.
We must continue to support the relationships and community empowerment that allows for people to feel safe to disclose their use and to take preventative harm reduction steps to support their life.
The community must respond with care and compassion to guide people through emotions and the tragic loss that comes with overdose.
Organizers and residents have continued to use harm reduction to limit the impact of overdose. However, in some situations where shame and criminalization are so pervasive, people are left to use alone and with limited trust to reach out for help in the most critical moments.
Remembrance
Camp JTD is grieving for the death of a community member. Her life mattered.
We are supporting the community through this situation and are asking for remembrance.

We will have change and it will be based in transformative justice and making violence unimaginable. We will create those communities ourselves.
We continue to count the days until we get justice for #BreonnaTaylor
Justice is not measured by the number of officers prosecuted. Even when officers are put on trial the jurors, regardless of race, have treated black lives as collateral damage. They have treated us as disposable.
We are still counting the days for Justice for Breonna Taylor.
Justice is not a settlement. Justice cannot be measured in dollars. $12 million will never bring back this person that was loved by many and now means so much to all of us.
BBWC has brought it all summer. We will win and we will never give up!!!
