As inflation, price gouging, and skyrocketing home prices have affected the nation, the city of Seattle has become increasingly hostile to low-income and middle-class populations.

Right, so where's that leave us, folks who want tax money to maybe help people?
Come on down to the Seattle City Council meeting, Sept 17th, 2024, 2pm! ✨
We're probably gonna be fining homeless people $5k for existing instead of building housing, city council should probably hear from you. 📢
This one seems important, mark your calendar👇🏿

I dipped out of the city council meeting to watch the I-137 community forum, was pretty obvious how this was gonna play out.
The council has passed the SODA/SOAP bills which makes looking like a homeless person, a sex worker, or drug user in Seattle a reason a cop can stop you.
You can be banned from neighborhoods and fined $5k for existing in the wrong places.

The demonstrators at city hall ask you to please take action and sign the Strippers Are Workers (SAW) letter to the city council opposing Seattle's stop and frisk laws.
Seattle previously had laws like this, and big surprise they were used against Black Americans, other people of color and queer+trans people at an alarming rate.
