Murdered by CHP and PoLice in a "Sweep" Artwork by @jmofarrill for @agitarte_cultural_works, licensed under CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 By Gera Gonzales /POOR Magazine 08/10/2026 This is an ongoing occurrence where Po-lice fail to show transparency after they leave one of us dead in the street. As a brown formerly houseless community member I know from first hand experience how they will profile us and harass us just for being black, brown and homeless. I have been doing cop watch for over 10 years now and it's the same old song. Lies, cover ups, and lack of accountability are is common practice for all law enforcement agencies across the Country. Four weeks have passed and Po-lice (law enforcement) have yet to release to the public the name of the man they gunned down in the 4000 block of International blvd (E14) in East Oakland 40th Ave, Fruitvale district at 2pm on July, 13, 2026. The shooting occurred after CHP officers were doing a “routine patrol of State property” (sweep) at a “homeless encampment” (houseless community). Upon entering the Houseless community CHP officers say they noticed a “suspicious person” with potential weapons. Officers then chased down the victim and ultimately shot him dead on the scene. After shooting him they handcuffed him and attempted to perform CPR while he was handcuffed, a common practice by law enforcement across the country leaving no hope for revival/survival. OPD Chief Beere was promoted just one week prior to this shooting, which is not a good look already for the department which has been under Federal oversight for over 20 years. It has not been specified the type of weapon the victim had, nor has any information been released to the public. This is the 3rd officer involved shooting by OPD this year. We are asking for them to immediately release unedited body worn footage, dispatch 911 audio, a minute by minute account of the incident, and the names of the officers responsible for the murder. Was this a mental health crisis? We know from past CHP involved shootings like the 2020 case of Erik Salgado that it is up to “we the people” to fight for justice and get the truth out to the public regarding Po-lice Killings and misconduct. Cops can not be the only ones investigating themselves. 3 to 4 of us are killed each and every day by law enforcement leaving so many families in grief with no transparency by the aggressors (cops). California Highway Patrol along with many other agencies have policies against transparency and accountability when it comes to officers involved shootings and misconduct. CHP does not publicly release ANY information about these types of incidences. Always record the po-lice, advocate for the people, and do your own research. We at POOR magazine call it WEsearch (poor people-led research ) . We had to do our own investigation and finally found out that our houseless relative who was gunned down by the pigs name was JOSE ANGEL. “Justice for Jose” PNN Reporter Gera Kopwatch Aztlan PARA DE MATARNOS: Justicia para Jose Asesinado por CHP y Police en un "Barrido" Esto es una situación en curso en que la policía falla a mostrar transparencia después de que ellos dejaron a uno de nosotros muerto en las calles. Como un miembro de la comunidad latina y alguien que antes vivía sin hogar, yo sé por mi propia experiencia que ellos molestan y discriminan contra nuestra comunidad solamente por se gente latina, morena, y sintecho. He estado observando la policía por parte de “cop watch” (observador de policía) por más de 10 años y ahora es la misma canción. Mentiras, falsificaciones, y falta de responsabilidad es práctica común por todas agencias de policía a través del país. Cuatro semanas han pasado y la policía no ha publicado el nombre del hombre que mataron a balazos en el bloque 4000 del Boulevard Internacional en Oeste Oakland, la Avenida 40, el distrito Fruitvale, a las dos de la tarde el 13 de julio 2026. El tiroteo ocurrió cuando los oficiales estaban haciendo una “patrulla rutinaria de propiedad del estado" en un campamento. Cuando entraron la comunidad de sintechos allá, los oficiales de California Highway Patrol o CHP dijeron que ellos vieron una persona “sospechosa” que potencialmente tenía armas. Los oficiales persiguieron a la víctima y, últimamente, lo mataron en la escena. Después del tiroteo ellos lo esposaron e intentaron hacer RCP mientras él estaba esposado, una práctica común de agencias de policía a través del país y que deja a las personas sin esperanza de sobrevivir. Chief Beere, oficial de la policía de Oakland o OPD, fue promovido una semana antes de este tiroteo, y eso no parece bien para un departamento que ha estado bajo supervisión federal por más de 20 años. Ellos no han especificado qué tipo de arma tenía la víctima, tampoco han publicado información para la pública. Este es el tercer tiroteo que ha involucrado a OPD este año. Nosotros estamos demandando qué publicen de inmediato las imágenes de vídeo, sin editar, de los cámaras de cuerpo, el audio de la línea del 911, una cuenta minuto a minuto de este incidente, y los nombres de los oficiales que son responsables del asesinato. ¿Fue esto una crisis de salud mental? Sabemos de otros tiroteos involucrados CHP, como el caso de Erik Salgado en 2020, que depende de nosotros, el pueblo, que luchemos por la justicia y compartamos la verdad con la pública sobre los asesinatos de los oficiales de la policía. Ellos no deben de ser los únicos investigando a ellos mismos. Cada día la policía matan entre 3 a 4 de nosotros, dejando a muchas familias en dolor, sin transparencia o responsabilidad de los agresores. CHP, como muchas otras agencias, tienen políticas contra trasparencia y responsabilidad con los casos de mala conducta y tiroteos qué involucran a la agencia. CHP no pública NINGUNA información sobre estos tipos de incidentes. Tenemos que siempre filmar a la policía, luchar por nuestra gente, y hacer nuestras propias investigaciones. En lugar de “research”, nosotros en Poor Magazine lo llamamos “WEsearch”. Al hacer nuestra propia investigación, nosotros de Poor Magazine descubrimos qué fue uno de nuestros vecinos sin techo que fue disparado por la policía. Se llamaba Jose Angel. Justicia para Jose.

Illustration by Boxicons on Unsplash Leroy F. Moore 8/3/26 Since the mid-1980s, I have traveled, written, organized, and conducted interviews documenting Black disabled movements across the African diaspora. Long before email, social media, or digital archives, I was building relationships with Black disabled activists from post-apartheid South Africa to the United Kingdom in the 1990s, Toronto in the early 2000s, and through the development of Krip-Hop Nation in the United States. More recently, my work has expanded to Brazil, where I have collaborated with Black disabled scholars, organizers, and artists working to build a stronger disability justice movement. These interviews are more than radio broadcasts; they form a living archive of Black disability history, resistance, and international solidarity. Through Krip-Hop Radio on POOR Magazine’s Revolutionary Radio, KEXU 96.1 FM, I have created one of the few ongoing media projects dedicated to preserving the voices of Black disabled activists around the world. One of the earliest programs in this international series featured the Black Disabled Movement in the United Kingdom. I spoke with Michelle Daley, Lyl Olaf, and Saadia Neilson activists connected to the Black disability organizing that emerged in Britain during the 1990s. Our conversation examined the persistence of racism and ableism, the failure of government reports to produce meaningful change, and the renewed political organizing inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement. Listen to the interview: ● https://on.soundcloud.com/xP6hTwZtP8SiVnSr ● https://on.soundcloud.com/QT89V3FrW9RCCLC8r8 The series continued with Julie Jaye Charles, a Black disabled advocate and minister in the United Kingdom. Drawing from my memories of London’s Black Disability Movement during the 1980s, we discussed the ongoing struggle for visibility, funding, leadership, and opportunities for Black disabled communities. Listen to the interview: ● https://on.soundcloud.com/0ozc0BKPd2JGOmASMr ● https://on.soundcloud.com/CkjQBNYOOFLbeYttMs As Krip-Hop Nation expanded into Brazil, the radio series documented the emergence of Black disabled organizing there. I interviewed Luciana Viegas, Lauren Avery, and João Nunes about their report urging the Brazilian government to address the intersecting discrimination experienced by Black people with disabilities. Our discussion also explored international collaboration between Brazilian activists and Krip-Hop Nation. Listen to the interview: ● https://on.soundcloud.com/UGcjg8HxMeyRpwnLA Most recently, I interviewed psychologist and activist Cleciane Cruz dos Santos, with translation provided by Bartira Sene, musician, activist and now leader of Krip-Hop Nation’s Brazil chapter. Cleciane discussed anti-racist and anti-ableist mental health practice, disability activism in Brazil, and the work of the Black disabled movement in Brazil. The interview also celebrated the growing partnership between Brazilian organizers and Krip-Hop Nation, demonstrating how Afro-Krip politics continues to develop across national borders. Listen to the interview: ● https://on.soundcloud.com/fUNlR6NqbnBnR2zftc ● https://on.soundcloud.com/28ZGPjpg1xYMJnfCOK Taken together, these broadcasts represent decades of community-based scholarship and movement documentation. They preserve histories that are too often absent from mainstream disability studies and Black history while connecting Black disabled communities across continents. The Krip-Hop Radio Series serves not only as a record of activism but also as an international archive of Disability-Centered Black Liberation and the growing global vision of Krip-Hop Nation.

By Unknown - Original publication: Unknown Immediate source: https://spartacus-educational.com/USACjacksonG.htm, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=73302647 Leroy F. Moore 8/1/26 Abstract This essay introduces Afro-Krip Black August as a concept within Krip-Hop Theory that reimagines Black August by placing Disability-Centered Black Liberation at the center of Black freedom struggles. Building on the revolutionary legacy of George Jackson and the historical significance of Black August, the essay argues that racism, colonialism, policing, imprisonment, and educational exclusion are disabling systems that disproportionately shape the lives of Black disabled communities. Through the framework of the Black Krip Radical Tradition, Afro-Krip Consciousness, and Krip-Hop Theory, the essay expands Black August to recognize disabled Black resistance, knowledge production, and cultural organizing as essential to liberation. It also connects these ideas to contemporary struggles, including the fight for Michael Manning’s freedom, demonstrating that Black liberation remains incomplete unless it fully includes the leadership, experiences, and political visions of Black disabled people.

Afro-Krip Black August is a concept within Krip-Hop Theory that extends the historical meaning of Black August by placing Disability-Centered Black Liberation at the heart of Black freedom struggles. Inspired by the writings and revolutionary legacy of George Jackson, Afro-Krip Black August recognizes that systems of imprisonment, racial capitalism, colonialism, and state violence not only criminalize Black people but also produce disability and deepen the marginalization of disabled Black communities. Black August has long been a time of remembrance, political education, discipline, and revolutionary commitment. Krip-Hop Nation builds upon that tradition by insisting that disability is not a secondary issue within Black liberation but one of its central political questions. Black August therefore becomes a time to remember not only imprisoned revolutionaries but also the ways prisons, policing, special education, psychiatric institutions, environmental racism, poverty, and colonialism create disability within Black communities. This perspective is grounded in what I call Disability-Centered Black Liberation, the principle that disability is foundational, not supplemental, to Black freedom struggles. Anti-Black racism, ableism, colonialism, capitalism, and state violence have always operated together to shape Black life. Any movement for Black liberation that ignores disability remains incomplete. Afro-Krip Black August rests upon five interconnected principles. First, it recognizes that disability is politically produced through racism, incarceration, colonialism, environmental injustice, and state violence. Second, it insists that disabled Black people have always been revolutionary participants whose contributions have too often been erased from history. Third, it understands political education as a revolutionary practice rooted in Black August traditions. Fourth, it centers prisons, schools, neighborhoods, Hip-Hop culture, and community organizing as sites of revolutionary knowledge production. Finally, it argues that Black liberation can only be realized through Disability-Centered Black Liberation. Building upon what I call the Black Krip Radical Tradition, Afro-Krip Black August argues that disabled Black people have always participated in resistance not as exceptions, but as organizers, artists, educators, political prisoners, cultural workers, and intellectuals. Their experiences are indispensable to understanding both the history and the future of Black liberation. Rather than viewing disability as an individual medical condition, Afro-Krip Black August understands disability as a political condition often produced through systemic violence. The lives of Black political prisoners make this reality unmistakably clear. George Jackson himself understood that prisons function as institutions of political repression designed to discipline Black resistance. His writings reveal how imprisonment transforms the body and the mind while exposing the violence of the state. His revolutionary commitment continues to shape Black August as a tradition of study, discipline, and collective struggle. This understanding is equally visible in the life of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Decades of incarceration, medical neglect, untreated illness, and aging behind prison walls have transformed him into a disabled elder. His disability is not merely a personal medical condition; it is evidence of institutional violence. His body bears witness to what prisons do. Afro-Krip Black August therefore recognizes that incarceration itself produces disability, making disability justice inseparable from prison abolition. Afro-Krip Black August also recognizes that educational incarceration begins long before prison. Disabled Black students are disproportionately placed into segregated special education classrooms, subjected to heightened surveillance, criminalized through exclusionary discipline, and funneled into juvenile and adult incarceration. What is commonly described as the school-to-prison pipeline is, from a Krip-Hop perspective, also a disability-to-prison pipeline. Schools often function as pre-prisons where Black disabled children are disciplined rather than nurtured. Disability-Centered Black Liberation therefore requires transforming educational systems as much as dismantling prisons. This understanding also shapes my own organizing through Krip-Hop Nation. For years, I have worked in the freedom campaign for Black and Black disabled prisoners like, Michael Manning, a Black disabled man who was wrongly incarcerated. His struggle represents far more than an individual case. It demonstrates how disability justice, prison abolition, and Black liberation are inseparable. On top of that my years of writing letters to political prisoners like Tookie Williams, Carie Buck and Momia Abu Jamal to name a few have made me realize that I needed to come up with a term that I saw in my early days of prisoners’ rights and the call to end prison includes disabled/Deaf people behind bars mostly Black thus the need to Krip it Black August aka Afro-Krip Black August. Knowing that the school to prison pipeline also goes directly into special education where the majority of the students are Black and Brown, the term, Afro-Krip Black August makes sense. Afro-Krip Black August honors Black political prisoners, revolutionary ancestors, and all those disabled through racism, incarceration, colonialism, and state violence while insisting that disabled Black political prisoners belong at the center not the margins of our movements. Afro-Krip Black August also expands Black August through political education. Black August has always emphasized study, and Krip-Hop Nation deepens this commitment by calling for the reclaiming of Black disabled knowledge. For too long, the histories, theories, artistic contributions, and survival strategies of disabled Black people have been ignored or erased. Afro-Krip Black August insists that recovering this knowledge is itself an act of liberation. It also advances what I call the Stages of Black Krip Radicalization a political process through which disabled Black people move from surviving oppression toward Afro-Krip Consciousness, collective resistance, and revolutionary leadership. Krip-Hop Nation has long demonstrated that scholarship can emerge through rap lyrics, spoken word, radio broadcasts, documentaries, workshops, community organizing, oral histories, and street culture. This is what I call Krip Knowledge Production revolutionary knowledge created by Balack disabled people in marginalized spaces outside traditional academic institutions. Rather than treating universities as the sole source of legitimate knowledge, Krip-Hop Theory recognizes prisons, neighborhoods, performance spaces, community organizations, and Hip-Hop culture as vital sites of intellectual production. Knowledge does not belong exclusively to the academy; it is created wherever oppressed people organize, survive, imagine, create, and resist. Like George Jackson, Afro-Krip Black August understands political education as revolutionary practice. Study is not separate from struggle; it is one of the conditions of liberation. Krip-Hop Nation extends this tradition by insisting that the study of Black disability histories, cultures, political thought, and resistance is itself a revolutionary act. Afro-Krip Black August also advances the development of Afro-Krip Consciousness, a process that moves far beyond awareness, identity, or pride. It is a revolutionary political consciousness that enables Black disabled people to understand how racism, ableism, colonialism, capitalism, and incarceration operate together as interconnected systems of domination. Afro-Krip Consciousness transforms disability from a category of oppression into a source of political analysis, collective identity, cultural production, and revolutionary action. In this way, Afro-Krip Black August follows the decolonizing vision of Frantz Fanon while extending it through Krip-Hop Theory. Fanon called for the creation of a new human liberated from colonial domination. Afro-Krip Black August builds upon that call by demanding the emergence of a new Black disabled human, one no longer defined by colonial ableism or racial capitalism, but by collective liberation, Black Disability Culture, revolutionary culture, self-determination, and freedom. Ultimately, Afro-Krip Black August is more than an annual observance. It is a political framework, a method of study, a cultural practice, and a revolutionary way of seeing. It expands the legacy of Black August by centering disabled Black people within the ongoing struggle for freedom. Through Krip-Hop political education, Hip-Hop culture, community organizing, prison abolition, disability justice, and the continued work of Krip-Hop Nation, Afro-Krip Black August insists that Black liberation cannot be achieved without Disability-Centered Black Liberation. Afro-Krip Black August reminds us that every struggle for Black freedom is also a struggle over whose bodies, minds, and lives are considered worthy of liberation. To honor Black August fully is to recognize that the struggle for freedom must include those whose bodies and minds have been shaped by the violence of prisons, colonialism, racism, and ableism. Until disabled Black people stand at the center of that struggle not at its margins the project of Black liberation remains unfinished. Read more from Leroy at https://kriphopinstitute.com/

WRITING Prompt: Crisis Dialogue- We've all been through this - Describe one of the worst crises you've experienced in your life - Financial, family, personal, health “The importance of understanding that we are humans…and even though we don't have money, we have each other” tiny Chispita The most severe financial hardship I've faced was when I had to leave my rented home because I lost my jobs and could no longer afford to live, and my family's life was terribly affected. My grandson Jesus is currently undergoing cancer treatment. It was very difficult because we needed a place to support him. We stayed with friends until we were allowed into a shelter. My family and I were very sad because we couldn't support our loved one, even though we worked so hard. Because of this, I now understand the plight of all my fellow homeless people. We no longer have our grandson, Mario, because he battled cancer and the hardships of poverty before turning 22. Carlos Gantes Hello, I am a person who was denied medical care today and I have been a victim of racism. I am a Latino who has always been a victim of racism the entire time I have lived in this country, but I have always overcome it. My time being detained by ICE was a very sad time because of everything. Latinos are mistreated and insulted inside the detention centers. I've lived here for 28 years, and who knows how many years I've endured hardship in this country. This is my Estonia, what I've lived through. Thank you for listening. Sincerely, Carlos Gantes Ricardo If I've had economic and health crises, racism, and the injustices of the system, I know I'm not the only person with these problems. I know there are more people with my big problems and with injustice, in this country and the world... there's poverty and more.

Okay Ingrid de Leon I'm so angry and sad, I honestly don't know how I feel because today a woman made me feel stupid by discriminating against me, saying I don't speak English and that I can't even write Spanish well. I can't explain myself, she says, because she doesn't understand me. We agreed to meet somewhere, I asked her and she confirmed that she would. I waited for about 30 minutes, I told her I was there and she didn't answer. When she finally answered, it was only to tell me she was already at work. I got so angry because she told me it was better to call, but I called her and she didn't answer. That's why I'm so angry, because people from our own community discriminate against us because of the language. It hurts and it made me angry because they always treat me like I'm stupid and I'm not at all. BGCB Having nothing and, by the way, trying.

My nephew knocked on my bedroom door and said, "Auntie, the house is on fire, get out!" I got out too late, and a firefighter rescued me. The house I had planned to live in with my daughter was closed. I lived without a home for two years. The greatest pain was that, because I didn't have a place to live, they wouldn't give me my daughter when I gave birth. That caused me depression for many years afterward. May 2014. The house where I lived with my two daughters was sold, and they avoided us under the pretext that the owner would live there, which was a lie. During the legal proceedings, I suffered physical and mental health problems and went bald. My supposed lawyer forced us to sign a settlement agreement in order to receive money to pay her, or else she charged us for the legal expenses. Ultimately, they avoided us, and once again I was left homeless, and my two nannies were left without a home. But what I've learned from these two experiences is that if we don't organize against these injustices, I'm left only with frustration and sadness. Instead, I organize with Poor Magazine and fight for my family and the families of other women like me. Poor people of color, immigrant fighters. Vincent Dimassimo My crisis would be all there.

ESPAÑOL July 24, 2026 - YELAMU Pobreza, Raza, Disabilidad, Juventud, Ancianos Beca/Ejercicio,Empatia Prensa Pobre creemos que gente que ha luchado con pobreza, racismo, y otras formas de opresión tienen que hablar y ser escuchados en temas de violencia y opresión, racismo, pobreza, disabilidad y las injusticias del sistema. Para empezar a entender estas posiciones de “empatia” y establecer una beca, por favor completen el siguiente ejercicio. Dialogo de Crisis !.

El 16 de agosto de 2001, estaba embarazada de 8 meses de mi hija mayor. 3 am oigo gritos y corredera mi sobrino toca la puerta de mi cuartito y me dice “Tía se quema la casa, salte.” Salí muy tarde y un bombero me sacó. La casa donde pensaba llegó muy tarde y un bombero me sacó. La casa donde pensaba vivir con mi hija se cerró, vivir sin casa 2 años, el dolor más grande era que por no tener vivienda no me querían dar a mi hija cuando me alivie. Eso me causó depresión por muchos años después. Mayo de 2014. Se vende la casa donde vivía con mis dos hijas y nos evitan bajo la excusa que el dueño viviría ahí, lo cual era mentira. Durante el juicio. Perdí salud física y mental y me quedé calva. Mi supuesta abogada nos obligó a firmar la salida para recibir dinero y poderle pagar o si no aceptamos. Ella nos cobra a nosotros los gastos del Juicio. Finalmente nos evitaron y otra vez quedé sin casa y dos nanas sin hogar. Pero lo que he aprendido de estas dos experiencias es que si no nos organizamos contra estas injusticias solo me quedo con la frustración y tristeza. En lugar de eso me organizo con Poor Magazine y lucha por mi familia y las de otros compañeras como yo. Gente pobre y de color, immigrantes luchadores Vicente Dimassimo Mi crisis estaría ahí. Perdí mi trabajo, luego mi identidad y después mi salud porque volví a las drogas. Melinda Garrett No podía simplemente dejarla. Una mamá drogadicta, peor pesadilla. Riing Ring "hola" mamá. ¿Puedes venir a buscarme? ¿Por qué no me dijiste que todos estaban drogados aquí? Es un monstruo. Da miedo. Molesta a todos en la casa. Alguien robó mi tarjeta EBT de mi chaqueta y luego me culpa por dejar mi chaqueta abajo. Se come toda la comida que traje para cocinar. Es malo. ¿Por qué no me lo dijiste, mamá? Mientras mi corazón comienza a saltarme latidos yo... Mi asiento b... después de empacar todo en mi mesa y poner la tienda de campaña en el auto. Todavía tratando de continuar la conversación, pero en el fondo veo rojo. Veo cárceles y rejas. Quiero darle una bofetada a este hombre. Huelo a crack tan pronto como entro a la casa. El sueño es real. Una casa llena de gente entrando y saliendo toda la noche. Así que mientras conduzco tratando de llegar a ella, olvido la salida y... en el maldito puente volviendo a SF, me pierdo en Treasure Island. Y encontrar mi regreso al maldito proyecto ACORN. Cuando yo… mi niña, toma sus cosas y espérame en la puerta. Sin palabras para el monstruo en sí. Aunque en un momento fue el padre de mi primer bebé. Cuidado infantil c…así que usaría recursos para comida como Glide, St. Anthony, o me moriría de hambre. Les pediría ayuda a amigos y familiares, pero después de que me dijeran que no tantas veces, tomaría la iniciativa y vendería todo lo que tuviera para conseguir lo que necesito. Probablemente perdería la cabeza. Una breve oración por el alma que permanece en silencio y aún sufre. Dios Altísimo Me diste este día Vamos a donde estés Con todo el corazón abierto Con todo el dolor y la incomprensión Te pedimos que nos perdones nuestros pecados. Perdónanos por no conocer el camino. Pero ¿sigues despertándonos? Por favor, denos instrucciones claras sobre lo que hay que hacer y Lo que hay que decir Danos la fuerza, danos protección Danos cobijo. Nos vestiste con tu amor. Ten misericordia de nuestra vida. Que no pase un día. Donde uno no come ni tiene techo. Mientras nos acercamos, les pido que escuchen nuestro clamor. Necesitamos ayuda. Te necesitamos. La injusticia de la jodida acation y el sistema donde Nadie está a salvo. Protégenos en tierra Catalin Slef En un momento de mi vida —expulsado de la universidad, sin cigarrillos, solo en el piso que alquilaba… con meses de alquiler impagado, harto de recoger colillas de la calle— aún puedo ver el agujero sin verlo. Rompí una pared del pasillo de la casa a puñetazos. Puñetazo… agujero. El casero y un vecino vinieron, hablé con ellos, lloré… me dieron cigarrillos… y se me pasó. Jas Mi vida ha estado plagada de crisis. En los últimos dos años me embargaron el coche, salí de una relación abusiva, tuve un accidente de coche, me rompí un dedo del pie, perdí a un buen amigo por suicidio y, para ser sincera, llegué al punto en que no quería seguir adelante. A veces... lo haré, no tengo trabajo, mi vivienda es inestable, pero tengo fe. Tengo una amiga que está pasando por esto ahora mismo. Tiene que trabajar a una hora determinada solo para poder... su abuela cuida a sus hijas. Ella... se levanta para los cuencos de comida, pone a sus hijas primero. Casi tuvo que volver a un refugio, pero afortunadamente tiene familia, algunos de nosotros no. Douglas Robbins Mi hermano mayor, Nick, lleva desaparecido seis años y medio. Lo hemos intentado todo: pusimos carteles de persona desaparecida, contratamos a un investigador privado y a una vidente. La vidente llama constantemente a los detectives. A pesar de nuestros esfuerzos, a la policía parece no importarle debido a los antecedentes penales de mi hermano y su adicción a las drogas. TreVaughn Soriano He tenido tantas crisis desde que salí de prisión... Me cuesta elegir un solo incidente. Me causa mucha preocupación y ansiedad. Me resulta difícil escribir sobre este tipo de cosas. Me cuesta escribir sobre la crianza de los hijos ahora mismo. …Disculpen, estoy en medio de una batalla legal por la custodia. Es muy doloroso emocionalmente. Eric Rodríguez Acogimiento familiar: haber sufrido traumas sexuales de niño, haber sido golpeado y abusado de niño, que la policía me molestara de niño, que los policías siempre me estereotiparan y me discriminaran por mi raza. Intenta ponerte en contacto con ellos y encontrar programas que te ayuden. Rony Cabrera Tuve una crisis con la policía cuando era joven, cuando no tenía papeles. Fui discriminado por ser latino. Algunos oficiales son racistas. Un alto porcentaje de ellos. Sufrí las consecuencias de su discriminación. Me trataron diferente por ser latino. Hacer Acoso policial: En una ocasión fui agredido por un agente de policía de Nuevo México fuera de servicio que trabajaba como guardia de seguridad de Walmart IPS. Le pedí que simplemente quitara la mano de su arma mientras lo grababa en video, y se enfureció atacándome, agrediéndome tres veces en total, sin que el agente Camara sufriera ninguna consecuencia. Alcalá Pietot Desde la mayor mentira jamás contada al mundo, en la que muchos cayeron (la mentira del COVID), vi cómo nuestro país se dividía, se segregaba y se desintegraba. Nunca había visto a tanta gente desaparecer o morir por algo tan insólito y extraño. Nos mintieron sobre la cantidad de muertos solo para asustarnos y obligarnos a ponernos vacunas falsas diseñadas para matarnos de una forma u otra, mientras todos los negocios cerraban y se ordenaba a todos quedarse en casa. Pero los indigentes seguimos afuera, como siempre. Vi un gran cambio en la forma en que los indigentes vivían en las calles. Y en cómo nos trataba la ley. Era para poder imponer la vacunación. También para hacernos quedar mal. Ahora se han llevado nuestros botes de basura y nuestras fuentes de agua para hacernos quedar mal. Necesitamos altavoces potentes para gritarle al alcalde. Jeff R Tras perder mi trabajo en el distrito escolar, no pude pagar el alquiler mensual de la habitación que alquilaba y me vi obligado a vivir en la calle. Estaba en la fase final de conseguir una vivienda cuando, de repente, perdí mi trabajo en Hunter Point Family. La pérdida del empleo me impidió acceder a las viviendas que había estado buscando. El hecho de seguir sin hogar ha contribuido a mi incapacidad para encontrar un empleo estable de nuevo. Recientemente me he encontrado en la situación crítica de haber faltado a una cita judicial crucial en un tribunal de otro condado y, debido a ello, se ha emitido una orden de arresto de por vida en mi contra por parte de la policía de dicho condado. Ahora temo que la lista de órdenes de arresto por delitos graves pueda ser transferida a la policía local y que pueda ser arrestado en cualquier momento una vez que se confirme mi identidad.

Momii Palapaz “We started this journey together welcoming and talking about who we are as Modoc people ..." said Welcome ceremony speaker, Taylor Tucker. She is the 9th great direct lineal descendant of Chief Kintpuash aka Captain Jack, along with Scarface Charlie and many other Modoc warriors from the Klamath, Modoc, and Yahooskin (Yahuskin) Band of Northern Paiute Indians), Oregon. Today, July 4th, over 350 survivors and descendants gathered for the 24th bi-annual pilgrimage at the Oregon Institute of Technology in Klamath Falls, Oregon. Over 120,000 Japanese Americans and their families were imprisoned by the US government in WWII, on stolen land. My parents, both born in the US, were amongst those railroaded with their families to 2 of 10 concentration camps in the west and midwest states in 1942. My mom’s family voted “Yes” to the Loyalty questionnaire so they could keep the family together. The notorious Tule Lake Concentration Camp became the segregation prison for those who voted “no” to protest US injustice and incarceration. Taylor’s ancestors “all fought in the Modoc War of 1872 and 1873 (against the US army). Right in the lands where you were also incarcerated…We should be here when we’re on ancestral homelands. When we come together like this, it’s really good to have this healing time and healing spirit.” Shouting “NO ICE NO WALLS NO CAMPS” and “KODOMO NO TAME NI. THERE ARE CHILDREN SET THEM FREE” Tsuru(Crane) For Solidarity rallied pilgrims at the Tule Lake Concentration Camp memorial site. “Kodomo o Tame Ni” means “For the Sake of the Children” Super seniors, and descendants of Tule Lake CC: Dublin, Ca. NO ICE, NO WALLS, NO CAMPS The super seniors; the survivors and descendants of the US concentration camps gathered here in past pilgrimages and founded Tsuru For Solidarity. Many experienced the present criminality of deportation now set on our brothers and sisters from false borders. Satsuki Ina, a founding member and psychotherapist, demanded to investigate the prisons housing children in Dilley, Texas and other detention centers. Tsuru For Solidarity said “DON’T REPEAT HISTORY. NEVER AGAIN”. But the violence is happening again and again and continues to become more violent, racist and white nationalist against all of us humans. Just the past two weeks, Lorenzo Salgado of Texas, Duran Guerrero of Maine, and a brother in Florida were killed by ICE agents. And everyday human beings are gunned down or run over by ICE . Tanforan Assembly Ctr- Dad/Takeshi Momii Tule Lake Memorial Book of Names-Mom/Molly Takagi White Supremacy and racist laws In 1942 Peru, the government collaborated with US President FD Roosevelt to kidnap, ship and imprison Japanese in Crystal City, Texas. In Brazil, Hawaii and Cuba, governments repeated it. The migration of Asians during the 1900’s was constantly postponed, protested, remodeled, and continually debated with violence. Capitalists and the government maneuvered to replace the “freed” African slaves with another labor force of Asian indigenous, Pacific Islanders, Caribbeans and South Americans. From1868 to1943 US “Act”(s), legislation, and laws were instituted to categorize Chinese, Japanese entry and later Filipinos and Mexicans on the legality of living on stolen land. Sweaty hot, I look around the beige, dry and dusty expanse of Tule Lake, California, reflecting on decades past when our community was abruptly imprisoned by the dictates of a system determined to manufacture our identity, our “loyalty”, now our “legality”. Most of my relatives have pushed this painful part of our history deep down and passed up opportunities to revisit CC sites. It was 84 years ago but still traumatic. With my niece Sara and her daughter Maya, we are the descendants of the concentration camps, generations of history, yet to be fully told. Every visit is to honor and pay respects, and every 2 years, generations new to the camp history carry on the tradition. View from the jail Castle Rock Mountain “Show me the way to go home” cell wall writing Castle Rock Mountain towers in the background, overlooking what was once a prehistoric lake, sucked dry by government profit making ideals. Over 100 years ago, the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake had over 500,000 acres of water diverted. It destroyed Indigenous Modoc land and people to supply settler farmlands. For generations, the native indigenous community has been reviving this land, opening up the rivers from dismantled dams to freely run Salmon no longer blocked from swimming and nourishing the communities of Klamath. From the Tsuru For Solidarity NO ICE rally, “The greatest risk of all is to do nothing. We must all choose to act now for our ancestors, families, for our children”

Juan Romero Muy consciente de los problemas que está aconteciendo en estados unidos y en el mundo entero pienso que la prioridad principal es un alto … la guerra. Y dar prioridad a los problemas que están sucediendo en Estados Unidos, alto a los asesinatos de nuestra gente inmigrante y alto a las deportaciones de todos mis hermanos inmigrantes. Alto a las deportaciones a nuestra comunidades inmigrantes. Alto a las deportación, de todas las razas. Unidos venceremos por un mejor futuro, Unido llegaremos a la meta del triunfo… la unidad. Fuerza, justicia, unidad y hermandad Very aware of the problems happening in the United States and around the world, I think the top priority is to stop the war. And prioritize the problems happening in the United States: stop the killings of our immigrant people and the deportations of all my immigrant brothers and sisters. Stop the deportations of our immigrant communities. Stop deportations, of all the people. United we will win for a better future. United we will reach the goal of victory… unity. Strength, justice, unity and brotherhood Manuela Esteva ¿Quién? ¿Dónde? ¿Y cuando? Qué pasa y mi opinión. Lorenzo Salgado, Texas, Austin,. Martes, 7, 2026 Ser inmigrante en estos días es peligroso para nuestras vidas. Y la suerte alcanzó a nuestro hermano Lorenzo Salgado, quien en un día normal de trabajo, fue perseguido por miembros del ICE quienes lo siguieron por algodón tiempo en una camioneta que no era identificada. Lorenzo continuó su camino y fue muerto a tiros con el pretexto de que estaba oyendo. Nada le indicó que tenía que parar ni que eran autoridades, actuaron cabalmente y le cegaron la vida canallamente sia importantes que ora un padre de familia y un buen hombre. Nosotros repudiamos esta acción vil y alzaremos nuestras voces ante esta injusticia. Exigir justicia para nuestro hermano Lorenzo Salgado y no dejaremos que su muerte sea ignorada porque de lo contrario permitiremos que continúe impunemente la muerte de immigrantes. Who? Where? And when? What's happening and my opinion. Lorenzo Salgado, Austin, Texas. Tuesday, July 7, 2026 Being an immigrant these days is dangerous. And that fate befell our brother Lorenzo Salgado, who, on a normal workday, was pursued by ICE agents who followed him for some time in an unmarked van. Lorenzo continued on his way and was shot dead under the pretext that he was eavesdropping. Nothing indicated that he had to stop or that they were authorities; they acted decisively and cruelly took the life of a father and a good man. We condemn this vile act and will raise our voices against this injustice. We demand justice for our brother Lorenzo Salgado and will not allow his death to be ignored, because otherwise we will allow the killing of immigrants to continue with impunity. Ingrid de Leon Todo el tiempo han habido asesinatos de gente inmigrante pero lo más reciente que paso son 14 muertos que estaban bajo custodia del ICE que estaban en el centro de detención y 3 personas más que murieron en un operativo o redes migratorias que ocurrieron recientemente y esto a icho ha puesto al gobierno Mexicano que quiere hacer una de mando al ICE por que yu es demasiado matan como si los seres humanos fueron amigas esto ocurrió en Texas de vemo de opinar porque la verdad nuestros Hermanos Mexicanos necesitan que sus familias sean recompensado y que los crímenes no queden impune las vidas tienen valor y son 17 vidas perdidas 17 familias sin padres sin Hermanos sin hijos luchemos todos con nuestras voces. There have always been murders of immigrants, but the most recent incident involved 14 people killed while in ICE custody at the detention center, and 3 more who died in a recent operation or migrant smuggling operation. This has prompted the Mexican government to consider taking control of ICE because they are killing people as if they were friends. This happened in Texas. We must speak out because, truthfully, our Mexican brothers and sisters need their families to be compensated and these crimes must not go unpunished. Lives have value, and these are 17 lives lost, 17 families without fathers, without brothers, without children. Let us all fight with our voices. Lorenzo Salgado, Texas, Martes ICE Maria Cordero Fecha AIODE Ulio 26 El martes foe Julie 26 Es una injusticia de Lorenzo Salgado. Haberlo matado porque Siendo Un hombre trabajador migrante Aquí en estados Unidos Desafortunadamente no se puede MUchas de las veces hacer nada Pero es correcto hacer justicia Para Que ya no pose eso Y es que desgraciadamente se Sienten conpoder y iderechos Intocables ICE Y ya es mucho corrupción-el señor Lorenzo Salgado de Texas donde sucedieron los hechos dejando Desamparada a su familia Ilendo a sus obligaciones con sus herramientas siendo un hombre Humilde y sencillo y con sus 35 Años ya estando. En Estados Unidos. Siguiendo el sueño americano Como todo migrante para Tratar siempre de darle a su Familia todo lo necesario Y ya es tiempo de protestar Y hacer parar esto que Está sucediendo Es triste pero real. No es lo único que a Sucedido ya basta de tanto Abuso (hacia los paisanos) Justicia Real Protesta Close Tuesday, July 26 It is an injustice by Lorenzo Salgado. He was killed for being a migrant worker Here in the United States Unfortunately, many times there is nothing that can be done. But it is right to do justice. For he doesn't possess that anymore And unfortunately, they feel powerful and entitled. Untouchables ICE And that's already too much corruption - Mr. Lorenzo Salgado from Texas where the events took place, leaving his family destitute Going to his duties with his tools, being a man Humble and simple, and already 35 years old. In the United States. Following the American dream Like every migrant to Always try to give your family everything they need And it's time to protest And do it, stop what is happening It's sad but true. It's not the only thing that Happened- enough with so much abuse (toward the countrymen) Real Justice Protest Jas I’ve been thinking of Lorenzo Salgado everyday. I heard his family speak and even though I don’t know him, I have love for him and his family. He was the father, husband, dad that I’ve always wanted. He was the “model citizen”, his only “crime” not being born here. Rest in Power Lorenzo Salgado. He estado pensando en Lorenzo Salgado todos los días. Escuchaba hablar a su familia y, aunque no lo conocía, sentía cariño por él y su familia. Era el padre, esposo y papá que siempre quise. Era el ciudadano ejemplar; su único "crimen" fue no haber nacido aquí. Descansa en paz, Lorenzo Salgado. Estames Cada dia Mas Deshumanizados Chispita Las Inmigrantes. Actualmente pueden en su jumento de trabajar para mantener a su familia y ayudaba a dar trabajo a otros ayudar a este país a sostener la economía era un Trabajador Esencial Esencial. Lorenzo Salgado. Fue asesinado por la migra de este país la cual no respeta la vida de nadie ni siquiera sus propias vidas ellos son ordenados a motor para …gusto a su amo el dinero. (Migra gente manipulada) Que acaba con vidas de trabajadores padres de familia hombres trabajadores ciudadanos buenos, amigos de la comunidad Yo chispita los …para continuar defendiendonos de la maldad que hipoesitaniente se viste de justicia Hoy hablo y honor a un ser humano Maravilloso y Ejemplar Lorenzo Salgado Mexicano trabajador Console. Lorenzo viviras en Nuestros corazones te recuerda …y vamos a defendernos en tu honor We are becoming more and more dehumanized every day Immigrants. Currently, they can work to support their families and help provide jobs for others, helping this country sustain its economy. They were essential workers. Lorenzo Salgado was murdered by immigration officials in this country, who don't respect anyone's life, not even their own. They are ordered to act in a way that pleases their master: money. (Immigration officials are manipulated.) They end the lives of workers, fathers, hardworking men, good citizens, and friends of the community. I drop them for continuing to defend ourselves against the evil that hypocritically disguises itself as justice. Today I speak of and honor a wonderful and exemplary human being, Lorenzo Salgado, a hard-working Mexican console. Lorenzo, you will live on in our hearts; we remember you… and we will defend your honor.

Chocollo Tengo 15 años viviendo en la calle y sufrir por no tener trabajo y no tener familia. Así es como he conocido muchas personas con la misma situación o parecida a la mía. Espero que algún día pueda resolver mi situación y tener tranquilidad en mi vida. Extraño mucho a mi familia y a mis hijos pero no los he visto por estar a punto de estar en la calle. I've been living on the streets for 15 years, suffering from unemployment and having no family. This is how I have met many people in the same or similar situations. I hope that one day I can resolve my situation and have peace in my life. I miss my family and my children very much, but I haven't seen them since I've been on the verge of becoming homeless. What is my opinion on the matter- who what when where Crystal Alley one of the “unhoused” I have a friend named (Lindsay) who has a condition called congestive heart failure. One of the things that happens with this condition is swelling of the extremities. I also have a condition that causes similar swelling. Due to an injury so, with that being said, I came to visit my friend and we decided to take off our shoes and sit on the curb in the sun. We were in Fresno Ca and there is a team called the Heart team that is supposed to go around and help “homeless” people relocate to shelter. NOw what they are commissioned to do as officers of the law brought to be in a special unit with a specific purpose of “helping the homeless”. What their help is, is strong arm robbery and assault. They pull up with a dump truck as officers of the law… you with physical violence and arrest the homeless. This incident was a direct reflection of abuse of power. So …I said my friend and I were sitting on the curb in front of a private business who had given us permission to be in front of their restaurant. My friend…was sitting on the curb with shoes off and the “heart” (hurt) team arrived. I was told to “get the fuck up” by an officer of the Fresno PD who was riding shot gun. In the hump truck another officer got out of the pick up truck the.. And said and I quote “didn’t you hear me bitch get the fuck up”. I did not move. I was then grabbed by my …and …and jerked to my feet. My friend Lindsay saw what was happening and tried to stand. another officer made a move towards here while the third officer grabbed our purses and shoes and threw them in the dumpster. MY friend tried to grab the one bag she had containing cans she was going to turn in. She was pushed from behind by the third office, a corporal denoted by the stripes on his uniform. That cop pushed her so hard she fell and landed on her face losing her 3 front teeth. They also took the cans and threw them in the trash. They then ticketed us for not having ID. And informed us if we were on the property that was owned by the City of Fresno we were trespassing. Now what happened was bad. However it gets way the fuck worse. We have got to stop the abuse of power and perversion of the law ¿Cuál es mi opinión sobre el asunto? ¿Quién, qué, cuándo y dónde? Crystal Alley, uno de los “sin hogar”. Tengo una amiga llamada Lindsay que tiene una condición llamada insuficiencia cardíaca congestiva. Una de las cosas que sucede con esta condición es la hinchazón de las extremidades. Yo también tengo una condición que causa una hinchazón similar. Debido a una lesión, así que, dicho esto, fui a visitar a mi amiga y decidimos quitarnos los zapatos y sentarnos en la acera al sol. Estábamos en Fresno, California, y hay un equipo llamado Equipo del Corazón que se supone que va y ayuda a las personas "sin hogar" a reubicarse en un refugio. Ahora bien, lo que se les comisiona para hacer como oficiales de la ley traídos a estar en una unidad especial con el propósito específico de "ayudar a las personas sin hogar". Lo que su ayuda es robo a mano armada y agresión. Llegan con un camión volquete como oficiales de la ley... con violencia física y arrestan a las personas sin hogar. Este incidente fue un reflejo directo del abuso de poder. Entonces... dije que mi amiga y yo estábamos sentadas en la acera frente a un negocio privado que nos había dado permiso para estar frente a su restaurante. Mi amiga… estaba sentada en la acera sin zapatos cuando llegó el equipo de “corazón” (herido). Un oficial del Departamento de Policía de Fresno que iba de copiloto me dijo que me levantara de una vez. En la camioneta, otro oficial se bajó y dijo, y cito: “¿No me oíste, perra? ¡Levántate de una vez!”. No me moví. Entonces me agarraron de mi… y… y me levantaron bruscamente. Mi amiga Lindsay vio lo que estaba pasando e intentó ponerse de pie. Otro oficial se acercó mientras el tercer oficial agarraba nuestros bolsos y zapatos y los tiraba al contenedor. Mi amiga intentó agarrar la única bolsa que tenía con latas que iba a entregar. El tercer oficial, un cabo, identificado por las rayas en su uniforme, la empujó por detrás. Ese policía la empujó tan fuerte que se cayó de cara y perdió sus tres dientes delanteros. También se llevaron las latas y las tiraron a la basura. Luego nos multaron por no tener identificación. Y nos informaron que si estábamos en la propiedad que pertenecía a la ciudad de Fresno, estábamos invadiendo propiedad privada. Lo que sucedió fue malo. Sin embargo, la cosa se pone mucho peor. Tenemos que detener el abuso de poder y la perversión de la ley. Catalin Stef The city Board of Supervisors are looking at legislation in San Francisco formerly Yelamu, in 2026 July, to end supportive housing in the city for folks caught using various substances. Well, my opinion, as of the last couple of years on this topic, stays the same. HOusing first, what one uses .. for whatever reason, their responsibility … La Junta de Supervisores de la ciudad de San Francisco, anteriormente Yelamu, está estudiando una legislación que entraría en vigor en julio de 2026 para poner fin a las viviendas de apoyo en la ciudad para las personas sorprendidas consumiendo diversas sustancias. Bueno, mi opinión, al menos en los últimos dos años sobre este tema, sigue siendo la misma. La vivienda es lo primero, lo que uno usa... por la razón que sea, es su responsabilidad... Pamela Bullock My name is Pamela Bullock. I’m a 5th generation SF native. I’ve been through the shady system since being a teenager due to my parents heavy heroin addiction- I was blessed with land; a curse too) best of “both worlds”. I lived & grew up with mom & dads on Offarell & Larkin but was blessed with an awesome education. I attended Catholic school my entire life due to Grandma being wealthy. When I was growing up- a restate agent- she lived at the top of Pacific Heights. I'm writing about something I want to say. I’m grateful for and can’t forget to say how grateful I am - truly. A few months ago I found myself once again homeless, living in my mini coup- I was smoking Fentanyl! I was sick & tired of living like that - I was mocking Fent -for 8 yrs. I decided to go to jail on purpose after many attempts at detoxing out here. I hadn’t been to jail in 8+ years and I knew it was what was needed to stop - Handcuffs, sad to say. I stayed for 14 dyas . My dog went to a dog jail.. I've been clean now- 90 days on the 15th of month - I was helped several times by tiny and I can’t say how much it meant-keeping me safe inside-after jail I was stuck homeless NO CAR! - I found a place called hummingbird Valencia and have lived there now 2 ½ months-I’m doing great- my housing voucher was …I’ll be moving as soon as I get my place! I owe a big thanks to tiny and Hmbrd-Valencia. They offer food, hot food, showers, tv…to chill, computer access its a great place. Mi nombre es Pamela Bullock. Soy nativo de San Francisco de quinta generación. He pasado por el sistema turbio desde la adolescencia debido a la fuerte adicción a la heroína de mis padres. Tuve la bendición de tener tierras (una maldición también), lo mejor de "ambos mundos". Viví y crecí con mis padres en Offarell y Larkin, pero tuve la bendición de una excelente educación. Asistí a una escuela católica toda mi vida porque mi abuela era rica. Cuando era niño, ella era agente inmobiliario y vivía en la parte alta de Pacific Heights. Estoy escribiendo sobre algo que quiero decir. Estoy agradecido y no puedo olvidar decir lo agradecido que estoy, de verdad. Hace unos meses me encontré de nuevo sin hogar, viviendo en mi pequeño apartamento. ¡Estaba fumando fentanilo! Estaba harto de vivir así. Estuve consumiendo fentanilo durante 8 años. Decidí ir a la cárcel a propósito después de muchos intentos de desintoxicarme aquí. No había estado en la cárcel en más de 8 años y sabía que era lo que se necesitaba para parar. Esposas, tristemente. Me quedé 14 días. Mi perro fue a una perrera. Llevo 90 días sobrio desde el día 15 del mes. Tiny me ayudó varias veces y no puedo expresar lo mucho que significó para mí mantenerme a salvo. Después de la cárcel, me quedé sin hogar ¡sin coche! Encontré un lugar llamado Hummingbird Valencia y llevo viviendo allí dos meses y medio. Estoy muy bien. Mi subsidio de vivienda fue... ¡Me mudaré en cuanto consiga mi lugar! Le debo un gran agradecimiento a Tiny y a Hummingbird Valencia. Ofrecen comida, comida caliente, duchas, televisión para relajarse, acceso a computadoras, es un lugar genial. Housing Is Recovery? Homelessness is Death Junebug Kealoha Po Poet PNN REPORTER Housing is a human right. Housing is recovering. Recovery from Homelessness. From Loss. Housing needs in SF should not be pivoted against each other. We have a housing crisis. Housing first helps people have stability. This stability is vital to overcome addictions in life that can lead us to use substances to cope. Supervisor Matt Dorsey wants to create a new form of city funded housing-that evicts tenants for drug use in permanent Supportive Housing. These proposed changes can cause more evictions and isolation to getting support. I believe as someone who is still recovering from homelessness and a child of parents who used drugs getting housing was always and is always the problem. The rents in SF are way too high. A 1 bedroom right near City Hall is over $4,000 dollars, where the ordinances, the po folks don’t always have options. PSA became the only option. When PSA has conditions of drug free it is not meeting people where they are at. Reduction support groups and contingency inside of PSH is meeting people where they are at. Saturday Night I’m Alive and Supportive Housing Prevention Network currently is providing the community with education and resources. Housing First is the path to recover. Community is the hope to overcome. ¿Vivienda es recuperación? La falta de vivienda es muerte. Amigo del escarabajo de junio Poeta PNN REPORTERO La vivienda es un derecho humano.El sector de la vivienda se está recuperando. Recuperación de la falta de vivienda. De la pérdida. Las necesidades de vivienda en San Francisco no deberían plantearse de forma contradictoria. Tenemos una crisis de vivienda. El programa "Vivienda Primero" ayuda a las personas a tener estabilidad. Esta estabilidad es vital para superar las adicciones que pueden llevarnos a consumir sustancias para sobrellevar la situación. El supervisor Matt Dorsey quiere crear una nueva forma de vivienda financiada por la ciudad que desaloja a los inquilinos por consumo de drogas en Viviendas de Apoyo Permanente. Estos cambios propuestos pueden causar más desalojos y aislamiento para obtener apoyo. Creo que, como persona que aún se está recuperando de la falta de vivienda y como hijo de padres que consumían drogas, conseguir vivienda siempre fue y sigue siendo un problema. Los alquileres en San Francisco son demasiado altos. Un apartamento de una habitación cerca del Ayuntamiento cuesta más de 4000 dólares, donde las ordenanzas y la gente de la oficina de empleo no siempre tienen opciones. Las Viviendas de Apoyo Permanente se convirtieron en la única opción. Cuando las Viviendas de Apoyo Permanente tienen como condición que no se consuman drogas, no se adaptan a las necesidades de las personas. Los grupos de apoyo para la reducción del consumo y la asistencia en caso de necesidad dentro de las Viviendas de Apoyo Permanente sí se adaptan a las necesidades de las personas. Saturday Night I’m Alive y Supportive Housing Prevention Network actualmente brindan a la comunidad educación y recursos. Vivienda Primero es el camino hacia la recuperación. La comunidad es la esperanza para superar.

By: Queennandi One month has passed since the tragic shooting of 1-year old baby Kohen Wiley and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation (MBI) has not provided any updated information on the case and no video or body camera footage has been released as of yet which validates the suspicions amongst our communities that are rising faster than a thermometer under a flame. On June 14th, 1-year old Kohen was shot and killed in the Walmart parking lot by “piglice” over the alleged theft of diapers and while earlier reports by police said that lethal force was used in order to preserve their lives, an independent autopsy requested by the Wiley family contradicted the officers claims that the car was driving towards them. The coroner’s report concluded that baby Kohen’s gunshot wound entered through the right side of his torso and exited the left side indicating that he was shot from the passenger side of the vehicle. There was also a bullet hole that shattered the windshield on the same side of the car and not the driver’s side. 300 mourners paid their respects to the innocent child whose casket was filled with teddy bears and other toys, lined with the cartoon character Bluey. All of the pallbearers who transported the tiny coffin to a white carriage were children which added more heartache and rage as reality had set in that a child was murdered over diapers. Meanwhile community activists along with the Wiley family continue to relentlessly pursue justice for Kohen no matter how well the truth is hidden. According to Mississippi Today, whom obtained the report via public records, there were no details explaining the tragic events that unfolded that day. The names, statements and the number of officers on the scene were not disclosed in the report, thus confirming that the blatant disregard for black lives in the United Snakkkes in the 21st century has not progressed much at all when compared to the centuries before. The lynchings of black men, women, children and elders is known to go unpunished because of all white prejudice jurors, judges, and sheriffs aka grand dragons in many “piglice” departments who look upon these murders as “the good ol’ boys just doing their Ameriklan duties upholding the wite supremacy agenda. Unfortunately, “investigation stagnation” has always been a tool used in this country as a way to buy time to come up with ridiculous lies and to demonize the victims and in my opinion if this wasn’t the case then why hasn’t one officer attempted to even do so much as “pacify with an public apology” (slap us softly with such insult) or be courageous enough to own up to the murder of a innocent child and insisting that the “appropriate punishment” be handed down to them for their fatal misdeed. Where is the remorse or empathy for baby Kohen based on “human understanding” for the simple fact that these officers too have children/child relatives in their families nor is there any consideration or acknowledgment that “universal karma” exists. It is painfully clear that these “beasts with badges” would rather perpetuate the “good ol’ boys doing their duty under God” way of life with their contributions to these “legalized lynchings”. Unless these “piglice” show and prove otherwise, that’s where it stands with them, and we must continue to stand up, raise the hell that they deserve, and with all that said, we must forever keep in mind that Emmett Till was a minor too.
