Our comrades returned to the encampment this week to drop off essential supplies for survival. This included a chili, cases of water, along with other requested items.

Our solidarity with the homeless begins on the most human level, to make sure everyone has the means to survive before anything else. It has become immensely normalized for us to simply look the other way. This is in fact, not normal. This is drilled into us from a young age that some people in this world just can't support themselves. They leave out the landlords, bosses, and cops who push us out onto the street. And they sanctify the rampant neglect of our politicians to do anything substantial about it.

Our solidarity with the homeless begins on this human level, but it is driven home when we see that we ourselves are only a few paychecks away from being in their position. A great many homeless people will tell you how easy it is for one thing to happen after another and you find yourself without housing and without help.

We are blessed to have that capacity to help these folks out in which ever ways they want our help. Not only does their day become easier, but we also get to act on that more natural response we all have to make sure we all have the means to survive before anything else
