On eviction day, residents of Super InTent City release collective demands for housing. You are amazing SIC!!! 💜💚

Sadly, communication is still an issue on this the last day: Many have NO IDEA what time they need to be moved out by. some knew that some SIC residents were going into court this am to find out deets of situation re: not all rooms are ready at Central Care Homes, as we are aware; others had no idea of any of what I just wrote. There-in lies a huge problem been going on all along at SIC: Not everyone who holds power/information is sharing that power with all residents.
To help you all:

respect.

For today, Video is rendering and here is a short update.

I will let photo’s speak:

One resident who moved out and is helping her boyfriend move shared that some SIC residents were going into court house 0900 to bring up obvious concern:

Central Care Home is not ready for all residents.

So, they really ought to be able to stay till its ready, otherwise many believe Rich Coleman is risking the safety of our homeless family.
What of other homeless?  Where do they go?  How do they stay safe?

ALSO: I was proud of Portland Hotel Society staff Justin for bringing forward some residents request that PHS acknowledge that many residents helped do a lot of work at SIC and never get acknowledged for that work, so, residents met with staff, and that staff brought concerns to PHS regarding promises made months ago by PHS, he did great listening as well.

So, we want to insure that all SIC residents who clean up their spot get support as PHS stated, not just those moving into Central Care Home, right?

Back to source of problem in first place:

Rich Coleman is pressuring this displacement from beginning: today he is pressuring Minister Staff to have it empty, its a possible stalemate…  I say that minister staff ought to be fired for lying about our right to film, and being divisive at SIC.
