When the city came to destroy the last vestiges of Seattle's 2020 #BLMG protest garden I and another friend started a food mutual aid project to help keep protesters going.
That project grew out of my fridge, the first fridge to feed around a HUNDRED ppl a week in Capitol Hill.
Just some scrappy punks, dumpster diving and getting to know grocery story workers, combatting food waste and inflation one fridge load at a time.
I haven't had time for that org at all now.

Anti Black hate is on the rise locally and nationally.
The BLM street murual is one of the few lasting marks of the 2020 protests the city has allowed and some racist keep defacing it.
As much as I know the city probably will keep repairing the painting, I sure wish this city had the same energy for policies that materially change anything at all.

If you're not super into local city politics you might have missed it.
Throughout the passed year or so graffiti celebrating rats has appeared throughout Cal Anderson park and probably around the city.
After the city razed the BLM Memorial Garden #BLMG from the park the mayor's office has seemed hell bent on keeping the park clear of any signs of community life not pre-approved by the local government.
So they put a ton of effort into erasing the rat themed graffiti.

#MutualAidRequest Protest medic beaten by cops needs community support.
"I was diagnosed at the hospital with a concussion and, since that day, have had to go to the emergency room twice for passing out multiple times and serious confusion.
This brutality from the police has made it so I’m not only unable to work, but suffering from massive confusion and possible serious brain injuries."

It's a never ending gaslight fest.
The fash say that because their event closed early its a sign of religious persecution at the hands of Mayor Harrell.
Bruce on the other hand bulldozed a protest garden (#BLMG) precisely to enable events. The largest of which has been the fascist MaydayUSA tour (now planning an encoure).
Bruce asked them to wrap up a smidgen early and now both wants to claim that as a victory.

I reported tirelessly OTG about the destruction of the #BLMG and how the destruction of Black led spaces, #homeless outreach, #housing rights, the #FreeGaza #StudentSpring and NOW #LGBTQIA community are all under threat by the exact same local politicians!
We ALL share an enemy in Mayor Bruce Harrell, City Council President Sara Nelson, republican city attorney Ann Davidson and of course the Seattle police.
We need more eyes on these ghouls!

Today's state sponsored hate fest would NOT have been possible if not for the city of Seattle crushing Black led Mutual Aid projects first.
The BLM Memorial Garden and the near daily breakfast program and weekly free grocery events were brutally crushed just like the Black Panther programs which inspired us.
We knew when the city took our garden they had no idea how to better use that space.
Today shows we were right!
-
It took all the cops SPD could muster to enable the right wing terrorist led event to go on uninterrupted.
Seattle cops arrested 18 to 30 people who were protesting the anti trans event.
The arrests were extremely violent and at least one person was sent to the hospital. I'm getting reports of things like a bike cop headbutting a woman then macing her after she was down and possibly already handcuffed.
Significant police use of force.

Today hundreds of homophobic anti-trans haters swarmed Seattle's Capital Hill gayborhood on the exact same spot that the Black Lives Memorial Garden (#BLMG) once stood as a symbol against hate.
Last year Seattle Mayor Bruce Harroll razed the garden because it became a site of regular Mutual Aid outreach. The mayor claimed the garden was a disruption to the peace and had it destroyed!

I've been heartened to see activist friends starting a similar program in my neighborhood in the past year and a half and was extremely proud to be the first fridge in the network.
Like Fred's example it's grown by leaps in this time.
But you know what? The state oppression has been REAL.
The Mayor of Seattle personally ordered over $89k in destruction to put a stop to our meal services and other community outreach programs!

Arrests of mutual aid organizers
-
Local mutual aid projects that serve the homeless haven't gotten a moments peace this year.
For the last month cops have been trying to take the warning shelter and all of the supplies keeping people warm and dry. This morning they succeeded 😢
But that's ok, we'll spring back! 🌻🌹🪻

Followed by a free dinner and mutual aid distro run by the Black Lives Memorial Garden Collective.
Bring food you'd like to share or grill along with any mutual aid supplies you'd like to distribute to the homeless.

This morning the City of Seattle stole our mutual aid supplies.
One of our community members did a report back on this morning's sweep.
Instead of 24 hour notice(as required by law) the city provided residents only 15 minutes warning!

A terrible assault during a mugging happened in my neighborhood and a working class person is unable to work due to their injuries.
If you're able to support their recovery it would be much appreciated. See the GoFundMe below 👇🏿
I'm extremely heartened to hear that gardeners and mutual aid folks from the Black Lives Memorial Garden were the first responders who got her to the hospital.

❄️ 🌨️ It's going to be very cold in Seattle this coming week. If you've been following me you've probably heard about the recent destruction of the Black Lives Memorial Garden by the city. This has been especially brutal to the homeless people all over Capital Hill.
Relentless city sweeps have displaced a ton of homeless and destroyed or stolen their cold weather gear.

#Seattle #news 5 Jan 2024!
City has been continuing its oppression at BLMG🌺. We were selectively swept out of the park last night and expect more displacement tonight. Join us in resistance! Grill at 10. Beans and rice will be plentiful! Bring a dish to share!
At park close, help move mutual aid infrastructure and document our ongoing opposition to the criminalization of survival if/when we're asked to move along. 🔥

Black Lives Memorial Garden was swept from Cal Anderson Park last night. We were threatened with arrest and someone's home that wasn't even part of the garden area got thrown into a garbage truck.
Endless cruelty when we could use our resources to support each other.

Park rangers have been spotted at the park.
-
Earlier today a team of 5 park rangers told homeless residents and mutual aid organizers near the Black Lives Memorial Garden that they will sweep homeless people at park closing times.
Cal Anderson park is a key part of the Pike/Pine nightlife scene. Regularly enforcing 11:30pm closing for the first time in decades(maybe ever) seems like it have serious push back from the local community and late night bar crowd.

Love and energy to Berkeley People's Park. After 50 years the University chose violence.
