300,000 reported dead,
and @SeattleParks, @SeattlePD, and @MayorJenny are going ahead with a sweep encampment in the same neighborhood they’ve been assaulting, harassing, and gassing since this summer. On families, elders, and more, all without resources or shelter in winter.

Chill @CityofSeattle workers that voiced support of advocates in Cal Anderson to advocates working in the park should be speaking tf up right now because this is about human rights in a pandemic and economic depression when so many have already lost everything.
This is about @SeattleParks working with @SeattlePD and @MayorJenny, @OfficeofMayor to force community members with no resources back on bare streets with nowhere to go in a pandemic where 3,000 die a day. There are 100,000 experiencing economic and equitable instability.
This is equally about @kcexec, and @SeattleHSD doing absolutely nothing to expand their current resources and organizing which would assist in helping bring equity and stability through more shelters and economic recovery. A single Salvation Army shelter for 100k underserved.
This has been going on for half a decade and only gotten worse. @MayorJenny and @kcexec preach results with none to show, and now it’s either work with communities or watch them fall apart from economic distress - yet they’ll kick out thousands sheltering where they can
street

Right now as a community member in Seattle, you need to look at what’s happening and decide if letting thousands die in the streets and ignoring them or calling SPD to complain because it’s an eyesore is something you can justify to yourself while you’re not experiencing it.
@SeattleCouncil needs to remember that there are lives at stake. @SeattleHSD, @CityofSeattle, @OfficeofMayor and others need to remember they could be saving them. Instead they’re using @SeattleParks and @SeattlePD to strip residents of their security because they’re too visible.
