For me, it was what was airbrushed on that gave it a bad look. Saw a Sega genesis once, that was cool. Saw a Minion waving a Don't tread on me flag and they were serious about it and it ruined the whole thing tbh

This is about 2 pop-ups worth of supplies, our Wednesday crew finds people and brings them drink, snacks, and sandwiches, usually paired with a harm reduction group for safer use supplies. Our Sunday crew sets up at the same spot that people know they can find- many ways to keep people safe & loved!

Consider what you may be able to get ready for cooler weather while we're working with these warmer temps a bit longer & buying some time in that regard.

Familiarize yourself with these drop locations & whether they're close to work/home/extracurriculars.

Look into the stuff normally needed.

Perpetually relevant - ESPECIALLY: ask the residents what they want and need, and don't promise things you can't do!

Hey Friends, this week in Minneapolis there were two shootings at homeless encampments, making it even harder for our neighbors. Sanctuary Supply Depot is raising money to help bring a little more comfort and care. If you have a few dollars to spare (they're only trying for $300!), info below:

Organizing with @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is a highlight of my life. This week alone, we gave out over 100 tents for distro in Minneapolis alone. But we wanted to make sure St. Paul wasn’t forgotten this week, so we partnered with some St. Paul distro people to get tents and supplies there too

NENOOKAASI V. FREY update

The City is trying to get the case thrown out via a motion for summary judgment.
This is the final hurdle: if we win this argument, we go to trial.

NENOOKAASI V. FREY
Come do court support!
The City is trying to get the case thrown out via a motion for summary judgment.
This is the final hurdle: if we win this argument, we go to trial.
Monday, 9/22 10AM room 7D
316 Robert St N, St Paul, MN 55101
*have to go through a metal detector to get into court - please show up in a way that gives the relatives the best chance at making a good impression with the judge*

Mayor Frey justifies evictions of unhoused neighbors by saying it is in public interest, predicated on victim blaming narratives and stigma.
Encampments are not the cause of harm.
Rather, they are targets of harm and the result of harms that already exist. Encampments are a symptom of systemic injustice; a source of resident-made interim stability borne out of necessity. They are a result of structural abandonment and policy choices.
When a school shooting takes place, we don't blame students and shutter schools. We ask, "How can we create safer schools?" But when encampments are targeted with violence, Mayor Frey blames unhoused neighbors and evicts them.
Nenookaasi residents filed a lawsuit, saying this is not only morally wrong, but violates their legal rights.

The hearing on Monday will determine whether we go to trial or if the judge will dismiss the case.
If the case goes to trial, it will take place in December.
If the judge dismisses the case, we may appeal.
You can read the as filed public facing court documents here: https://linktr.ee/campnenookaasi (link in bio)
The subject of Monday's hearing can be found in documents 139-onward

As people are scattering, hiding, and camping in new spots every night, they are losing contact with social services including the housing lists almost everyone is (and has been) on a wait-list for. We're also using $$ for phone cards so people can continue to access their basic needs.

@commkitchenmpls.bsky.social is pretty great, depending on the size of your group. Habitat for Humanity is good but not radical.
