in the absence of a green new deal, libraries and public transit are going to be america's de facto cooling centers, keeping large number of people alive during climate disasters for the indefinite future

This is NOT how we treat our neighbors. No one involved has been able to answer what "alternative housing" will be available for the people they are intentionally displacing in preparation for a Minnesota winter. Shelters are full, and not every shelter is suited for every person... Please help 💕💸

We need to buy 200 tent sets. St. Paul is evicting the biggest encampment in the city. Can you help by donating? Sanctuary Supply Depot is a fiscally sponsored project of GMCC, (EIN 41-0693933) a Minnesota non-profit corporation that is described in internal revenue code section 501(c)(3)

Pig's Eye Park has been a stable encampment for years. People will lose everything.

We have been offered access to warehouse space so we can order wholesale pallets of tents, sleeping bags, and tarps to meet needs following the eviction.

To make this happen, we need to raise $15,000 by next week. Can you share? Can you donate? Links in bio. Sanctuary Supply Depot is a fiscally sponsored project of GMCC, (EIN 41-0693933) a Minnesota non-profit corporation that thank you is described in internal revenue code section 501(c)(3)

This is murder, plain and simple. If you live in St. Paul, call the mayor's and your CM's offices and tell them you don't want this to happen.

To say that our city is not going to have encampments requires us to first say that we have an alternative plan in place to ensure that every single person who currently lives in an encampment will receive the housing and support that they need.

- body wipes that *don’t require rinsing* - good, durable backpacks - versatile repair tools like a roll of duct tape, super glue, similar - a smile, a warm bit of conversation, and eye contact Cash is always a winner. But if you have the above ^ on hand, please share!

- bus passes (check w your local public transit about buying) - Uber/Lyft credits - popsicles or ice cream on a hot day! - entertainment like books, magazines, and puzzles - solar phone chargers (businesses love refusing to allow unhoused people to charge their phone, so this can be an issue)

Homeless people don't produce more garbage than housed people DESPITE often needing to treat things they can't wash as disposable. But nobody is collecting their trash. There aren't bins and disposal services. Similarly, homeless people aren't more high than housed people, they're just outside.

People associate drugs with homelessness partly because they're told to, because it makes it easier to throw people away and dismiss the problem, but also for the same reason people associate accumulated garbage with homeless people - there's nowhere to hide it. Housed people just do drugs inside.

Minneapolis, hit me up if you know families in need of car booster seats. We collected a lot of donated boosters for transporting kids to school last winter/spring and would like them to be put to good use. All are used but not expired!

Nenookaasi Coalition's press release about the encampment fires on January 6, 2025. Thank you to everyone who has been showing up to support! Visit nenookaasi.com to view the full press release with contact info and links to additional sources.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Unhoused residents and housed neighbors respond to multiple encampment fires amidst chronic shortage of safe places to seek shelter

A growing network of community-led groups and outreach organizations are continuing to support unhoused residents transitioning into stable living conditions, while city, county and state governments are falling short.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota (January 7, 2025) — Fires broke out at two Southside Minneapolis encampments within minutes of each other on January 6, 2025. On a day with below freezing temperatures, over 230 residents of these encampments were left searching for shelter after police cleared the camps. (1 of 5)

According to Christin Crabtree, a local organizer who was assisting the response efforts, “at one camp residents were able to put out the fire and police subsequently evicted them. The fire destroyed the other camp and police evicted residents, letting only a few retrieve their belongings. In both cases, outreach and neighbors were prevented by MPD from helping our neighbors move and salvage what little they own.”

A resident who asked to be identified as L stated, “This isn’t the first time that multiple fires broke out around the same time and we were forced to move again. We have been facing constant harassment from strangers who want to do us harm. The source of the fires should really be looked into.” (2 of 5)

Several organizations provided meals, transportation, warming supplies and other resources, however it proved to still be insufficient given the scale of the need. Around 55 residents were able to find adequate shelter for the night, leaving many still left facing the frigid elements outside.

“Sanctuary Supply Depot was able to provide tents, sleeping bags, and other survival supplies to more than 75 of our neighbors last night. Our hosts at GMCC provided a temporary warming shelter, and community members showed up with food, coats, and other supplies,” said Flannery Clark, an organizer with the mutual aid group. (3 of 5)

Community members have been working with the Minneapolis City Council on “Housing First” policies that would help alleviate the compounding crises residents are facing, including Councilmembers Jason Chavez, Robin Wonsley, Aisha Chughtai, Aurin Chowdhury, Jeremiah Ellison, Elliott Payne, and Jamal Osman. However, these measures have been met with resistance and vetoes from Mayor Jacob Frey and will still take time to implement if passed. (4 of 5)

Additional pro-tip: Unlike with N95s for infection control, you cannot re-use them in rotation or over several days. You wanna throw them away when they get dirty, which will happen fast (same dayish) with smoke and particulates. Plus, they’ll stink. Guarantee it.

And people have a RIGHT to shelter, to food, to water. To be warm, to be loved, to spend time on silly little things. No matter who they are, what they've done, or how you feel about them. They're people. And you should help them, and stick up for them.

We sent out a load of tents, sleeping bags, hand warmers, and other survival supplies. We have a weekly pop up tomorrow and between these we are worried about running out of supplies. If you can help, we have pay links and a wishlist at SupplyDepotMpls.com

I’m running a coat drive for Supply Depot and GMCC!!! We are hoping to distribute 350 coats, primarily to unhoused residents and new arrivals/refugees. You can drop off coats at Arbeiter Brewing or Duck Duck Coffee, or DM me to arrange another option!
