Advocacy Living Unhoused it’s an ongoing effort, yet some people seem to think those who are on a fixed income should be criminalized. Why?
As one gal told me today, some people who feel entitled don’t have any compassion or understanding. She herself lived in her car. They removed the two (2) cars from a city park to the junk yard. Wouldn’t allow her to collect personally things like her dentures, offered no services or housing and put her back on the street. No shelter or services. The police she said, “were not compassionate.” She’s a tall senior older. Damaged her hand. She said she has a video of this… hopefully we can get a hold of it.
Why?
Just to say you don’t count if you don’t have a roof over your head. She had one. A car.
and another one.
As a member of Fremont for Everyone.. we have gained so much support from other organizations, that we are now the Caring Community. More unhoused are coming out to speak up. They are ready to go to jail if they have too! No one should go to jail. It’s simply because the city has not kept up with building housing for more people in all income brackets.
As one of the pastors said, “we are in a housing crisis.”
If we are in a housing crisis, why are people treated so badly? I have more questions than answers. The city mayor says the city doesn’t build housing. Does this mean, the city will give money to those ie non-profits who do?
By the way the mayor owns over 100 properties, has 7 lawsuits as a slum landlord.. I guess he just getting back, or revenge on people who have complained about him. One thing we know for sure, the City of Fremont doesn’t care about those who are or have less than the city does. Get this 4 of the council members are unemployed out of the 6.
Advocacy Living Unhoused is an ongoing effort. To help those who are going through rough times. We don’t need to be punished for the lack of governance. On March 18, the city would not repeal the ban, it was their choice and so they are getting sued. We have about a 50% chance to win.
If you find yourself unhoused and not getting the support from your fam or friends, find or form a community with other people. This is what people in encampments have done. They all help each other. Have compassion. It doesn’t mean you have to live with them, it’s a stronger community.
Avoid NextDoor – its negative cesspool. Even if you ask for help or post or add to the conversations.. people there for the most part will attack you. I gave a recommendation for Costco, the people jumped on me criticizing what I said about it. That’s how unkind these people are.
Be kind, put a smile on your face.. keep asking for help until you get it. I will keep doing Advocacy Living Unhoused for this group of people. More information can be found under living unhoused.
