📢CALL FOR ACTION: STOP THE SWEEPS
🗓July 15th, 3:30pm
📍300 CITY HALL
15 KELLOGG BLVD W, ST PAUL, MN
Mayor Her has unexpectedly and disgustingly announced removing three major encampments in St. Paul. The first one is on July 15th. This does not give enough time for organizations and resources to assist with this transition.
All three of these encampments have been long established before Mayor Her was even elected into office.
There is no plan in place for our neighbors once the sweep happens. This means that disenfranchised people will have less accessible resources. Neighbors are now more at risk of getting hurt, being arrested, at risk for overdosing, losing their items, community, security, and support.
Instead of investing in toilets, waste receptacles, tents, cots, food, medicine, and other services for the encampments.. the city plans to remove our neighbors from their home and toss them to the wind. This will put more burden on police, social services, fire & recuse AKA taxpayers (if that's the only thing you care about).
