Fighting Injustice!

On this page, I look at some of the political and racist decisions that have affected the poor and those experiencing homelessness - through criminalization, through gentrification, especially in Uptown!

  • It's Political: My Own Self-Realization! - my own story and realization...
  • It's Political: The Punishments Do Not Fit The Crimes! - How I've seen people arrested, convicted, and criminalized more for their status in society, rather than committing heinous crimes. Also about how the Justice system works against those who are homeless and without money.
  • It's Political: Deemed Unworthy and Unsightly! - How actions have been done to make people feel unwanted and unworthy in our neighborhood. Deemed unsightly, basketball rims have been taken down, benches eliminated, the Salvation Army was told to "feed the poor no more", and most recently, the eviction of Uptown Tent City.
  • It's Political: Building Up and Casting Out! - How more and more places for those who are poor are being shut down and turned into housing for the wealthy. How when these places are closed, they often end up homeless and can't afford to live in the neighborhood they consider their community.
