Defend Unhoused People at Quarry Encampment in Northeast Minneapolis

-

The City of Minneapolis announced an eviction date for the last major encampment not already forced off city-owned, unused public land.  It is tomorrow, Wednesday, December 28th.

People living at the Quarry encampment have called for defense, and the wider community has responded.  (The Twin Cities Workers Defense Alliance is posting this event listing to provide publicly-available information about the defense, but is not coordinating it in any fashion.)

Reflections on a Summer of Militant Action for Housing Justice

The most clear lesson I learned (or re-learned) this summer is that if we wait for policy change or permission from capitalists and politicians we will never end houselessness. On the other hand, If we continue to assert our human right to housing through occupations and direct actions we can make sure every person in our region has a warm home.

A Powderhorn Neighbor On Solidarity With Sanctuary

The backlash from white Minneapolis progressives to radical demands/actions like the encampments, the George Floyd Autonomous Zone, and abolishing the police has taught me a lot about how a lack of real solidarity makes it easy to abandon radical ideas when comfort, control, and security are threatened.

Sanctuary: How I Came To Find A Home

I have learned through living in homeless camps that the true war on fascism and the state starts with feeding and sheltering the people you were taught to fear and learning to love those who have suffered the most.
