Join Services Not Sweeps for our first rally on Wednesday, August 2nd at City Hall, 12pm-2pm! We will have speakers from the coalition and with lived experience talk about the harm caused by sweeps, and how that harm increases during times of extreme weather. Join us after to attend the Public Assets and Homelessness Committee meeting at 2pm for public comment to tell City Council you support our campaign to end encampment removals in extreme weather!

Seattle could easily pass a winter moratorium on sweeps which would add stability and allow folks to connect to services.

I don't need LAPD to accompany me when I talk to encampment residents because I'm not there to violate people's rights. So why does @LACitySAN@twitter.com insist that LAPD accompany them during cleanups?

Happening now. 54th/Fig... where are those CARE and CARE PLUS teams??? No sight of outreach teams to provide services to this houseless encampment. The new public health policy must move forward minus all traces of policing and criminalization. #ServicesNotSweeps #LetsGetFree

Last night, in the dead of night, illegal planters were installed on 7th. Despite @HerbJWesson@twitter.comβs motion about illegal NIMBY objects blocking the public right-of-way, it seems like @MikeBoninLA@twitter.comβs officeβs support of #ServicesNotSweeps is conditional on pleasing NIMBYs https://twitter.com/veniceplanters/status/1121455919529775104

Some amazing progress on #ServicesNotSweeps by @LACANetwork@twitter.com #DirtyDivide campaign and many more. LA officials are starting to listen to their demands! Though they note much work to be done to stop criminalization. SF action to #StopTheSweeps June 22! http://bit.ly/ActionAtDPW https://twitter.com/LACANetwork/status/1139858992287473664

@DotKohlhaas@twitter.com @LACitySAN@twitter.com I stand in absolute solidarity with those invested in making our city/country work for everyone. Who pick up the mantle of ancestors that could not see the implementation of their visions but were committed nonetheless. #LetsGetFree #ServicesNotSweeps #TogetherWeWillWin

Holy Freaking Cow! @LACitySAN@twitter.com's reportback to Council just hit the file and it looks like they are essentially endorsing #servicesnotsweeps here! Get the whole PDF at the link and I'm putting all 19 pages in this thread as images.

"I have a friend who's a fellow veteran organizer, who was homeless and living in a car. Getting a tow can be a death sentence for these guys, who need intensive medical care and shelter while they're waiting to get into supportive housing."

Greig Smith (CD12) is complaining about old vehicles with *spiders* on them. City Hall is opposing #AB516 because of arachnophobia.
Who elected this guy??
Oh right, NO ONE!!!!

If you want to start understanding the reality of homelessness in LA and how it affects everyone, this is a great article... There is no easy answer, but at the very least we should be providing real #ServicesNotSweeps (and directions to an already full shelter don't count!) https://twitter.com/AlpertReyes/status/1136994836597207040

"The fact that it's often the sanitation department at the head of these sweeps makes people feel like they're seen first and foremost as human garbage, not human beings."

Homelessness in LA County has increased nearly 50% since @mayorofla@twitter.com took office.
Awful yet unsurprising. Weβve been monitoring (often literally) the cityβs βeffortsβ since we started our campaign.
We need #ServicesNotSweeps and #HouseKeysNotHandcuffs.
