Thank you everyone who’s been supporting us. Thanks to everyone who does want a better future, we’re been able to start doing warm drinks more constantly and starting to be able bring out some larger amounts of hot homemade food. 2/5
Black background and white writing with red outline: “To say those who are homeless don't want housing or insinuate they don't deserve it because some are under the influence of drugs or alcohol also shows your lack of competence of the realities of our world and state of the country. As well as attributing homelessness to drug use is blantantly wrong for a many homeless neighbors, and simplifies the problems and abuse many have gone through at ministries and non-profits you suggested. A good amount of those with housing still have a substance abuse problem in one form or another, and users don't compose of all of the camps; regardless, everyone deserves a right to be able to live and have necessities taken care of.” Black background and white writing with red outline: “If you want to see actual change, then make housing more accessible, implement rent control, start and strengthen tenant & homeless unions, prevent housing from being bought up from massive landlords and AirBnB hosts, force the city to take trash and cleaning seriously, and place more accessible toilets around the city. Not to push charities, ministries, and non-profits that perpetuate the same harmful restrictions and hierarchies, and condemn those who wish to make change outside these terrible parameters.” Black background and white writing with red outline: “In addition, people with your mindset and attitude to vilify neighbors because their homeless status and biological produce they can't stop shows your lack empathy & competence on the issues our communities face everyday, especially when homeless. You should be putting that effort to pressure the city to create more safe and clean spaces to throw away trash and take care of biological functions. By claiming it's their fault only fails to account for the systemic failure of the state and nation. Choosing to attack one of the few groups who directly give out free warm clothes, first aid, shoes, water and food shows you and similar minded people want death to be more prevalent because they didn't go through "proper" channels or ways” Black background with white writing and red outline: “To A Revolutionary Future Built Through Dual Power!

On Sunday 12/1/2024, two NIMBYs decided that us giving out clothes, first aid, warm drinks and some food was a bad thing. They tried to push harmful rhetoric to try and guilt and/or get the group to stop. Shared is a letter they had left on windows of our comrades 1/5
Black background White writing with red outline: “On Sunday (12/1/2024) while distroing to a camp, we were accosted on two separate occasions by NIMBYS for doing Mutual Aid at a camp. One of whom decided upon themselves to leave notes on windshields of our comrades cars.” White 8.5X11 paper with black writing: “To the folks with compassion for the homeless, My hope is to bring awareness to the full picture of helping those camping in the green space. We are neighbors of the green space and to be blunt, do not want the homeless camping in our back yard, as I'm guessing you wouldn't want next to your home either. We are opposed to the constant garbage left in our yard, on our easement, and the path I used to use to take the kids and walk the dog. I'm opposed to the vet bills l've encountered when my dog has gotten into rotten food they left behind and the human waste we have to walk around with piles of whatever is used as toilet paper. On top of that, we've had dozens of items stolen off our property, off our deck, now in the realm of about $7500, from the homeless that trespass through our yard. Despite locks, bolts and chains, they manage to cut bolts and steal. All the no-trespassing signs, chains, blockades get torn down in a short amount of time so we quit investing in those things. We were advised to fence the yard, and received a quote of $36,000 to do so, not an option for us. I'd like it to be known that we fully support getting folks off the street and out of the cold. Each year we volunteer and support, make significant donations to Share, Shared Hope, Family Promise, Open House Ministries and New Heights Church - all of which help get people housed, off the streets and in jobs where possible. We do not support any form of helping people remain camped near our back yard. In my volunteering, getting involved in community, listening to police friends and first responders and those in Vancouver Public Works and in listening at length to the CEO of the Portland Rescue Mission, I understand that the more services provided to those camping out, the worse the problem gets. When I asked my policeman friend of 30 years how he would solve this problem he said "we have to quit throwing money and resources at it". Rest in comments Black background and white writing with red outline: “ We DO NOT subscribe to your hierarchical & capitalistic mindset. We DO believe in actually helping people survive regardless of the condition or struggles they are going through. We believe in actual humanity and Mutual Aid, not the "we know better and will control who deserves our help" charity mentality you try and push on us.” Black background and white writing and red outline: “We will continue to help our disenfranchised community members regardless of what NIMBYs, CEOs and KKKops say is better. Choosing to follow the same self destructive neo and classical liberal ideas, especially in regards to the housing crisis, is fallible and perpetuating it.”
