With LAMC 41.18, @mridleythomas and his wealthy backers aim to make it effectively impossible to exist as a homeless person in Los Angeles. Targeting vulnerable communities for erasure rather than providing crucial services and housing is a violent, shameful act. #Right2Rest

Rather than support housed and unhoused tenants facing precarity and eviction, @mridleythomas and most of city council are pushing for MORE banishment and criminalization that unjustly target unhoused communities. Who has a #Right2Rest in Los Angeles?

We need #RepealNotReform of laws that criminalize poverty and increase police violence against unhoused Angelenos. Justice is #HomesNotZones and the #Right2Rest, @mridleythomas.

.@MRidleyThomas’ 41.18 ordinance will dramatically increase criminalization in LA, allowing huge swaths of LA to become banishment zones. Everyone deserves the #Right2Rest.

41.18 is a policy decision that will impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of the city’s most vulnerable residents if it becomes the law. We demand @mridleythomas and the rest of City Council #RepealNotReform 41.18. Everyone deserves the #Right2Rest

Where is the urgency to protect affordable housing covenants, provide renter protections, hire more caseworkers and medical personnel? We need #HomesNotZones and the #Right2Rest from @mridleythomas, not displacement that pushes people further away from services.

ALL OUT WEDNESDAY 9:30AM! Show up at City Hall to oppose the criminalization ordinance 41.18 that makes it illegal to sit/sleep/lie down. Criminalizing the #Right2Rest is inhumane and sets people back on their path to housing. twitter.com/LATenantsUnion…

.@LACoSheriff Villanueva has unilaterally involved the @CountyofLA in the criminalization of homelessness (and poverty) in LA & made the Venice Boardwalk his target. We must get #VillanuevaOUTOfVenice !! #VillanuevaMustGo

.@LACountyBOS MUST take action and remove funding from @LASD’s 'HOST' program. They have the ability to hold @LACoSheriff accountable & ensure he doesn't overstep the County’s jurisdiction through control of the Sheriff's budget #VillanuevaMustGo #VillanuevaOutOfVenice

.@LACoSheriff's plan includes setting aside 2,000 custody beds that can be used as a 48-hour hold for when unhoused residents of the Venice Boardwalk are deemed “non-compliant.” #VillanuevaMustGo #VillanuevaOutOfVenice twitter.com/cerisecastle/s…

🚨YESTERDAY🚨 - A super-coalition made up of the @JusticeLAnow, @CheckSheriff, and @NoSweepsLA coalitions came together to demand @LACoSheriff get out of Venice! Read the letter here: bit.ly/villanuevalett… #VillanuevaMustGo #VillanuevaOutOfVenice

The Downtown Community Plan, which will rezone parts of Chinatown, Little Tokyo and Skid Row, is heading to the Planning Commission for a vote on 6/17. But in its current form, it won’t provide an adequate affordable housing for downtown’s poorest and most vulnerable residents.

Shame on @MayorOfLA for rewarding a murderous and racist police force by increasing the LAPD budget by $40 million and calling it a “justice budget.”

TOMORROW: Join us for We Rise: Wellness on the Roof, a virtual exploration of community-based healing practices at LA CAN. We’ll be streaming meditations, music, workshops, and conversations about trauma-informed healing modalities from our rooftop garden starting at 12PM.

@StreetWatchLA Gated and surveilled parks are the latest carceral technologies used to track and deprive poor people of enjoying public spaces. #ArchitecturalApartheid

This is why we must #defundthepolice

2022 is coming @mitchofarrell, and we won’t forget that your desperate attempt to court the NIMBY vote was to waste tens of thousands of dollars on getting LAPD to brutally evict people experiencing homelessness in your district. Stop the sweep Mitch! #EchoParkRiseUp

The Echo Park Lake community is a reminder and a reality that unhoused people are fighting every day to live with dignity. #EchoParkRiseUp

Unhoused people at Echo Park Lake came together to build resources that the city failed to provide: from showers, to charging stations, a communal kitchen and community garden. Instead of working with the residents, @MitchOFarrell plans to destroy the community. #EchoParkRiseUp

If @mitchofarrell really wanted to make sure people had an opportunity to get housing, he wouldn’t be rushing through a secret sweep of the lake. We’re not buying it. Stop the sweep and provide the housing and resources folks deserve! #EchoParkRiseUp
