Mitch O’Farrell went on Twitter today to gaslight the public about the “services” and “housing solutions” offered to justify bulldozing people’s homes. Don’t be fooled, sweeps solve nothing. Most people have set up on the streets of Shatto again because there is nowhere for them to go. #ResignMitch

We just sent a letter to @gavinnewsom to pass #AB1238, the Freedom to Walk Act. This bill would not only make our streets safer, but it would also eliminate racist and classist jaywalking laws that are used in LA to criminalize the unhoused population.

LA City Council is set to pass a new ordinance tomorrow that would ban protest and the act of planning protests within 300 ft of a “target’s” home. The new law would deputize private citizens to sue those who violate the ordinance.

Let's make policies that focus on helping people, rather than treating them as inherently dangerous criminals. At-risk tenants and unhoused people deserve a hand up, not a kick while they're down. #servicesnotsweeps #housekeysnothandcuffs

@mitchofarrell swept an encampment less than a wee

@mitchofarrell swept an encampment less than a week after they survived a car crashing into their encampment. The City is installing a traffic signal near the encampment, but instead of communicating with the residents in a trauma-informed way, Mitch brought a large crew of Sanitation workers and LAPD to force them to pack up all of their things and move. After working under the hot sun to move their things, the city crew left without cleaning the sidewalks and without offering services or housing. The residents said that they had to clean up debris from the car crash and when we left, they were sweeping up the sidewalk with their own brooms. There is no housing or shelter available, and while Mitch O’Farrell sends his team of Urban Alchemy outreach workers to pass out sandwiches, it’s mutual aid volunteers who are working to provide them with substantial aid.
