End the 10 year tax abatement already. It takes $62 million from schools every year! $62 million builds 600 homes! This is why you are red handed Mayor Kenney. Because you have been caught supporting fascistic economic policy that hurts your civilians, you want to use the police to brutalize them out of their tents just so they have to build another camp? https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/politics/phila-schools-lost-62-million-development-tax-breaks-2017-20181204.html

Instead of clearing homeless encampments, city leaders should create plans for permanent housing | Opinion

Instead of clearing the camps, maybe the city can spend the money it wastes clearing it, paying officers overtime, etc to help us upgrade the camp. If they at least help us upgrade the camp with clean running water, public restrooms, and other amenities until we can come to a decision, we efficiently help more folks, keep things more sanitary, and have permanent installations to help the public until the affordable housing is provided. We have been asking for public restrooms for ages. How hard is it put to put a couple portable restrooms in philly around our camps? Why don't the subway stations have public restrooms? Why dont we build an equitable city? If neighbors complain about shit on the street you need a restroom, not an eviction. If neighbors are complaining about rent increasing and housing being unaffordable, you build houses. This is why we vote for you! Not just so you can offer Amazon $1 billion. Not so you can offer 76ers $2 billion. Not give skyscraper owners $62 million annually. We elect people to be problem solvers, not problem creaters like Mayor Kenney has been. I agree with Dante, Mayor Kenney's inaction and brutality in a time of moral crisis, while leading his city, will take him to the hottest place in hell.

Mayor Kenney, your eviction plans arent going to be cheap. If you use 100 of your lowest paid men, this will cost approximately $6500 per hour in overtime wages. We dont plan on leaving. So good luck wasting your tax dollars instead of building assets for the city.

Harriet's Bookshop in Olde Kensington was threatened earlier via email with slurs, arson, stalking, and r***. We will not post the graphic image here to avoid inducing trauma. We condemn this. We are multiracial movement and we opose hatred.

Reminder! Friday at 5pm

We have come up with problem solving solutions without you Mayor, but you are not listening. There are solutions that would not inspire reactionaries, and opposition to fight to defend themselves from political and economic repression. But you're only interested in ordering a physical assault and invasion on your civilians who are most at risk, and victims of your own corruption. We are tired. Cancel rent, cancel the evictions, and come up with a permanent solution that isn't a crowded shelter, and you will look like a hero. Carry out physical assault, you will go down in history as the Mayor who brutalized his people.
