It is wrong to stalk, harass, or disrespect the homeless. We pledge to dedicate this account to homeless issues in Sacramento. (Admin: @blackholemedco)

Homelessness is a national emergency. The USA needs to stop treating its cities like contestants in a reality game show to fight for money.
If you are interested or involved in homeless issues around #Sacramento, be sure to read pages 7 through 19 of this year's Sacramento County Grand Jury Final Report: sacgrandjury.org/reports/18-…
The American caste system is real. It is condoning medieval conditions for those at the bottom, and therefore reviving medieval health problems, which will spread to the working poor as conditions deteriorate. This doesn't need to happen in the USA. theatlantic.com/health/archi…
"A few dozen cities, including Santa Monica in Southern California, have passed ordinances making it illegal to refuse to accept vouchers as a form of rent payment, [housing advocate Rachel] Iskow noted. “Sacramento needs to follow suit,” she said." sacbee.com/news/local/homele…
This note looks like something that the Dodson guy would post on Facebook. xitter.gq/kcranews/status/101959…

"Operating City Hall restrooms around the clock and seven days a week would cost about $375,000 the first year..." $375,000 would be a $1000 a month apartment for about 31 years. Just build more damn standalone public restrooms instead of appeasing NIMBYs. sacbee.com/news/local/homele…

(THREAD) Some chalk messages & art that was left for @VisitSacramento & other local business groups to let them know what some of us locals think about their efforts to persecute the homeless and destroy our neighborhood through #Gentrification. #Sacramento #PeopleOverProfits /1

Anti-homeless architecture is just about one of the most depraved, hateful, unsympathetic things our species has ever created, and truly makes me sick every time I see examples of it.
"In 2011, a UN representative visited Sacramento. After discovering that homeless people were defecating into plastic bags, the official wrote to the city’s mayor. Such circumstances, she said, could amount to "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment"." theguardian.com/us-news/2018…
Next time you see those warm-and-fuzzy Dignity Health "Hello Human Kindness" commercials, think about this 77 year old #homeless man in #Sacramento who was dumped (at a shelter that couldn't help him) by one of their hospitals. sacbee.com/news/local/homele…
Between this, and this city's confiscation and disposal of homeless belongings, one has to ask why Chicago is going Full Frontal Holocaust on the #homeless, especially in the dead of winter. nydailynews.com/news/nationa…
Next time somebody refers to the "homeless epidemic", let them know that #homelessness is not a disease and the #homeless aren't lepers.

1 in 10 California State University system students... are homeless. sacbee.com/news/local/educat…
We need more of these protests in front of #Sacramento business associations who try to criminalize the #homeless, with more people showing up. sacramento.cbslocal.com/vide…
Sad to think that, sooner or, later, this may have to be considered as a form of nonviolent resistance for the #homeless of #Sacramento unless the City wakes up and stops treating those already in emergency crisis like criminals.
