First they came for the homeless
Today, Oakland tried to remove the homeless from Lake Merrit. They met resistance. They were met by the press. They backed down. They promised to return tomorrow at 7:30 am.
This is typical. The city wants the resistance to fade. They will continue rescheduling until there are no more supporters showing up.
We win by growing the resistance. That means tomorrow, be there. They are hoping for legal observers, press, and supporters until the city starts to obey the law. The 9th circuit said no, the city is deciding to ignore and play games. They will offer vouchers which I have heard are no good. But because they were offered, the city feels they are following the 9th circuits ruling? This info comes from the homeless victims of these bad vouchers.
Details are still coming in. As I learn of additional details, I will put them in the comment section.
