In the midst of the COVID19 pandemic, we — two unhoused women — have taken over a vacant home in SF so we can shelter-in-place safely! Homeless lives matter! #ReclaimSF

Gov. Gavin Newsom announced he placed 4200 homeless ppl into hotels today. There are 150,000 homeless Californians. There are 1 million vacant units & hundreds of thousands of hotel rooms he can commandeer. Don't clap your hands for this - This ain't it.

FEMA sent San Francisco 91 trailers. They're sitting completely empty. They won't give us hotels. They won't give us RVs. This is criminal. #NoVacancyCA

Meanwhile, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has decided not to grant early release to any inmates to allow for social distancing within the state's 14 prisons. It's a decision the governors of both Washington and California have already made. columbian.com/news/2020/apr/…
