Kier Starmer's digital ID proposals are a terrible idea from our perspective.

There's already more than enough hassle navigating the system as it is.

May this person Rest in Peace. 🕯

RESISTANCE comes in many forms.

We resist the rise of fascism in everything we do.
We are on the streets.
We are gathering and resourcing each other
We are gathering to grieve and making inequality visible

@ourmoh.bsky.social’s Museum of Homelessness humanizes folx who have experienced it, and encourages us all to recognize the ways in which homelessness is a societal problem, not an individual personality flaw.
