Warm Up Boston

ALT A pile of belongings gathered into plastic bags and bins, including cooking supplies, tents, and hygiene items, which all had to be moved due to the sweep or else risked getting thrown out. This pile comprises the entirety of a person’s belongings. Text overlay reads: “We are a working class organization that fights to reduce the harms of capitalism being faced by the most oppressed members of our class. An attack on the unhoused is an attack on everyone that works for their bread. We’re able to continue this level of support through mutual aid, a survival tactic that the working class has been forced to utilize since wage labor emerged.”

ALT Very dark grey, almost black, background color. Sparse red paint splatters adorn the border. Yellow title text reads: "Policies that divest from harm reduction and invest in the prison system are policies of systemic, mass murder." White paragraph text reads: "Mayor Wu’s War on Drugs, Josh Kraft’s even worse “Mass and Cass Plan”, and Trump’s new executive order “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,” will, without a doubt, kill people who use drugs. It will disproportionately kill poor people and people of color."

ALT Very dark grey, almost black, background color. White paragraph text reads: "Harm reduction programs create spaces for marginalized folks where community and empowerment can grow. This will always be a threat to fascists and NIMBYs alike. Harm reduction will never be enough under capitalism, as capitalism and fascism cannot survive without one another." Yellow bottom text reads: "And still, harm reduction is one hell of a good place to start."
