Get mad, but use it. Sitting and reading more things to make you more mad is just going to hurt.

Frey’s proposed 2026 budget defunds them, but emergency housing vouchers are funded in the 2025 budget; MPHA implemented the operational needs to get vouchers out in Q3 for resident use. It’s now Q4 & sitting in CPED. 100 vouchers could be in use right now: 50 for single residents, 50 for families.

A single mom in the Duluth area is in need of community care. She is navigating challenging times & was laid off from her job. She needs funds to maintain her housing & to cover basic needs. Please consider contributing or reposting. I will update progress and share screenshots for accountability.🌻

NENOOKAASI V. FREY update The City is trying to get the case thrown out via a motion for summary judgment. This is the final hurdle: if we win this argument, we go to trial. Related docs found here linktr.ee/campnenookaasi

This camp is being violently evicted right now in the wake of a devastating shooting. People are mourning community members and simultaneously having their homes bulldozed. If you have t shirts, drinks, aspirin, new underwear, or cigarettes please bring to 1100 E Lake between 3-7 for distro!

It is absolutely soul crushing that this is what happens to our most marginalized neighbors following a tragedy. Nobody should be ok with this.

A community members car was broken into & her sacred items were taken. She is offering a reward for the return of her items. No questions asked.

Encampment prevention is not homelessness response. Hiding a problem is not solving a problem. Using casual language to describe homelessness harms our community. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

We would love for these numbers to be correct, but...

We don't even have to tell y'all it's a lie if you live here, but just in case, consider this confirmation 🫶🏻

We are still seeing 90+ people on Fridays alone ❤️

Help out the @southsidekwes.bsky.social and @nenookaasi.bsky.social ❤️

This is $10,000 of damage directed at a resource center that helps Indigenous women and families. They have so many amazing programs, for low income families or people escaping dv, for substance use disorder or for early childhood family education. They need us to step up for them this time.

In early March, MIWRC was vandalized & the community room windows were broken. This is a space that hosts so many important community gatherings, and MIWRC is a critical resource. Please join us to help pay for the repairs! givebutter.com/MIWRC

Minneapolis encampment numbers have dropped drastically thanks to police harassment, thuggish behavior preventing the same number of homeless people still residing within the city from congregating, doing absolutely nothing to solve problems but creating more PTSD for vulnerable citizens Fixed it ❤️

Punishing our neighbors has hidden the problem, but it has not solved the problem of homelessness. Cruelty does not house people. It makes homelessness less visible, our neighbors less likely to receive services, and thus, less safe.

Preventing encampments is best done by addressing the root problem: homelessness. MPD is under special order, directing officers to prevent encampments from forming. Neighbors have responded: we want Housing First, robust services, & humane solutions. Housing ends homelessness.
