For the past two years, sixteen Asheville community members have endured state repression following a demonstration for the rights of unsheltered homeless neighbors. It should be worrisome that something as small as sharing food in a park could result in felony charges and a three year park ban, yet the case of the Sanctuary Camp Defendants has received relatively little attention.
If you're new to this case and would like to learn more, come to this second anniversary presentation! If you're already familiar, come for the updates and learn how you can support the defendants!
Join us at the Miami Beach City Commission chambers and give public comments opposing the inhumane criminalization of unhoused folx! This proposal means jail or shelter for all unhoused folx in Miami Beach — deportation and internment on the mainland.
Anarchists and community partners are organizing against forcing unhoused folx into interment camps and reinstating Miami Beach as a sundown town! @noberesistance@SMASHMiami@BuddySystemMIA@greenbackdistro@miaracialequity
On Wednesday, September 13, The Miami Beach City Commission will consider and vote on a proposal to authorize Miami Beach police to arrest poor people for sleeping in public if they refuse shelter and "services."
Shelter or jail is violent coercion, genocidal policy of internment of unhoused folx, and violates the rights to freedom of movement. This is especially horrific considering that there are no jails nor available shelter beds in Miami Beach. The majority of unhoused folx are black — thus police would be forcibly removing them from the City at night, back to the mainland of Miami for interment.
Miami Beach would be a sundown town, again.
Join us at the Miami Beach City Commission chambers and give public comments opposing this inhumane proposal Wednesday, September 13th at 8:30am at 1901 Convention Center Drive (Second floor: Meeting rooms 222-225)
Mayor Dan Gelber of Miami Beach is a fascist ghoul in his own right, waging genocidal war against unhoused folx, so really this is no surprise #StopTheSweeps
