Starting September 8th, with inaction by the state government, up to 500k households could be forcefully removed from their homes. Pennsylvania is about to fuck around and find out.

Short notice but organizers are asking for support before the meeting wraps up by 7:30 if people can get here in time. City is fucking the encampment a over and not giving residents any kind of immediate option for safe housing

Why are shelters inefficient and not helpful? It's like getting processed by the criminal justice system. You often get drug tested, have belongings searched. You often have to be in the facility by a certain time. They are also usually not free. Our state does not have the shelter capacity for 500k households, especially during a pandemic. The City of Philadelphia is sentencing those without shelter to death, and they want to brutalize them further through eviction on September 9th. 18000 homeless, and 40000 vacant properties that can be collected by eminent domain. A $45 million dollar federal grant for low income housing assistance bought a new office. This is unacceptable!
Meanwhile, the city government just got asked by the Philadelphia 76ers franchise with a perfectly functional arena to pay $2 billion for a new arena. $2 billion builds 20,000 homes. So if you want to know why we will physically defend the camp on the 9th? It's because Mayor Kenny has openly decided to side with economic fascism.

Fascism is an economic system in which the government controls the private entities (PHA) that own the factors of production. The four factors are entrepreneurship, capital goods, natural resources, and labor. A central planning authority (PHA) directs company leaders to work in the government's (Philadelphia) interest. Rather than directly work towards addressing the interests of its civilian class. By denying a human right of permanent housing in a safe and properly distanced environment during a national emergency when the resources exist, you have the power and authority to make that decision, and the people are demanding it, you are committing by textbook definition fascistic economic policy Mayor Jim Kenney. We will physically fight against that to protect and defend civilians in crisis.
