We called and you answered! Boston turned out on Wednesday morning to answer our call to stop the sweep of a local encampment. Despite the early start time, freezing conditions, and police opposition we drew a crowd that let the streets of Boston know we stand together against the criminalization of survival. We saw that the city will happily give thousands of dollars to line the pockets of the police despite claiming that there is no funding to support subsidized food or housing. We see through their lies and we say: we have had enough.

When a forced eviction can be a death sentence, we stand with our neighbors in solidarity. It is through our actions that we were able to successfully delay the sweep which greatly reduces the harm of an inherently harmful act.

We will continue to fight and to support each other. This was just the beginning. We are excited to see our community continue to not only advocate for, but to fight for our neighbors. Consider becoming part of our struggle. DM us or send an email to [email protected] and join Warm Up today!
