You know what has happened during this pandemic? People lost their jobs, and lost access to their in person behavioral health services. The results were increased domestic violence, increased shootings, increased shoplifting, and increased drug use. When people cant afford to put food on their table and access their healthcare and medicine due to copays, and limited access, crime and deviancy increases. There is a socioeconomic factor in social stratification during times of crisis that creates increased deviancy and crime. No matter how militarized Philadelphia Police are, there is nothing they can do to prevent that. So demilitarizing and putting funds into housing, healthcare, and other lifeline resources for those in the most need is absolutely a necessary call for leaders to make that they have yet to do.

Philly Police have just committed their 4th extra judicial killing in a little over a month. 10/8, 10/23, 10/27, and 11/12.

No Danielle Outlaw, you will not get $18 million for equipment. We are tired of you ordering weapons to then use on us. We are tired of you taking peoples lives. Danielle we are coming for your guns, we are coming for your tasers, we are coming for your explosives, and we are coming for your tank. There is no justice in a system of extra judicial killers. There is no peace in Philly. Resign now!

Shortly after Philly Police took their 4th victim since October 8th, the Mayor releases a plan to outfit all officers with tasers. There have been over 1000 civilian deaths from tasers since 2000.

Philly's history tells us that when we follow the orders of the Fraternal Order of Police, more people die. In 1969, the Philadelphia Police Review Board was abolished by Mayor Frank Rizzo. From 1970 to 1978 75 people were shot while unarmed, while retreating, and while not being charged for a violent crime in Philadelphia. This compares to the 1950s when only 32 people were shot and killed by police in Philadelphia. Hundreds of people became victims of militarized violence. In the 80s, a whole block was bombed and several children were killed. Philadelphia was the first Police Department ever to be sued for use of force by the US government. It took until the 90s until police reviewed peoples complaints again. Philly has one of the most violent Police Departments in history when we review the books. And Philly has shown time and time again that reforms don't work. Abolish the militarized occupation of Philadelphia neighborhoods!

Heads up, Philly Restaurant owners and workers, as of yesterday, your Restaurants landlord cant evict you for 180 days. While the moratorium is not enough for you folks, we are rooting for you to survive and rooting that your rent debts can be forgiven.

Now for the next big battle! We are hoping our civilians can stay in their homes as we approach the end of their eviction moratorium, and hoping our city's non restaurant businesses can also receive a moratorium. Businesses caught in shut down should not have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in late rent to stay open.

⚠️ SECURITY ALERT ⚠️

Please take a few minutes to "harden" or secure your Telegram account right now.

This is a public Telegram channel and your membership is not private. We need to operate under the assumption that both law enforcement and members of alt-right groups are monitoring this channel for information. Don't worry, though! There are a few key steps we can take to mitigate the risk of exposing personal information through Telegram:

• ASSUME any message you send will be read by a bad-actor. Don't say anything that would incriminate yourself or others, expose sensitive information, compromise an identity, etc.

• DO NOT respond to unsolicited direct messages ("DMs"). Bad-actors may try to initiate contact through direct messages in an attempt to obtain incriminating or otherwise valuable information about you and your comrades. Please report suspicious activity to an administrator.

• DO NOT share your phone number on Telegram (Settings / Privacy and Security / Phone Number > Nobody). This is the single most important step you can take to secure your Telegram account.

• DO NOT use your real name, photograph or a user-name used on other platforms. Bad-actors will use this information to help dox you. Telegram allows you to change both.

• DO enable PIN lock for all messaging applications (Settings / Privacy and Security / Passcode Lock > Enable). If your phone is taken by the police, this can help protect your messages.

• DO enable two-factor-authentication for all messaging applications (Settings / Privacy and Security / Two-Step Verification > Enable). This will require a second code or password to login to your account. Alt-right groups have hacked activist-owned accounts before.

It's never too late to start using best-practices to communicate securely. We keep us safe!

The city is so heartless, that it will criminalize tents so that people die from the conditions of living shelterless when they violently remove them from their home. The lack of a legal camping space in Philly is deadly. The lack of right to shelter/home is deadly. We can do better philly. Especially when its affordable to house every single person in this city.

December 21st is not just the first day of Winter. It is also Homeless Memorial Day. That day we remember those who have lost their life while trying to survive homelessness. If you know someone who tragically lost their life in the Philadelphia community while homeless, this form will help them be included in this years memorial and help our city keep count on how many lose their lives prematurely to extreme poverty.
