Tuesday, the City of Boston has carried out their final sweep on Mass and Cass's Atkinson Street Encampment. They will not be allowed to return and have been divided between shelters and dispersed to smaller encampments throughout the city. The city of Boston has had since 2014 to plan for and finance proper acoomodations but a chauvinistic mayor and morally bankrupt city council have moved woth false haste. Almost a decade of neglect created the urgency used to justify this brutal response. An urgency created with the interests of profit and gentrification at the expense of human livelihood. This is yet another example of "progressives" pretending to care while neglecting the people's material needs, then responding with brutality. Our city's social services are not prepared to work under these new conditions, and with winter fast approaching, it is the place of community activist organizations to once again pick up the slack.

Now is the time to get involved: volunteer with us or help with donations or fundraising today!
