We need to stop counting on people who have failed us and start acting on solutions proposed by the people who have caused climate change the least but are affected by climate change the most- Indigenous & BIPOC people. #COP26

“I would suggest that the mayor should implement more mental health facilitys [sic] because from being homeless it has affected us in ways that is very profound. I think that taking down the tents so abruptly is wrong.

THURSDAY NIGHT!!! 🗣 We will never accept violence against our houseless neighbors. @MayorOfLA it’s time for you to defend the most vulnerable among us rather than destroying their belongings & arresting them. See you out there!!!
