Earlier this week in the Ballard neighborhood of #Seattle, 3 sheriffs served an eviction against a tenant who owed several thousand dollars in back-rent going back to when COVID began. There was an exchange of gunfire that left one cop in the hospital and the tenant, a trans woman named Eucy, gone. Eucy was an involved member of the community and worked hard over the years to not only take care of herself but to also show up in solidarity for others.
There is a vigil this Friday 3/24 at 7pm in front of the Gilman Park Plaza apartments on the 800 block of NW 54th St in Ballard. I hope Seattle can come through for Eucy and pay their respects.
Evictions are state violence. All out for Eucy! All out against evictions!
