The @CityofPhoenixAZ and the @PhoenixPolice violated a court order by arresting and convicting the unhoused. 62 arrests. 9 convictions so far. All for existing on the sidewalk. What a bold move to completely ignore the federal order. #HousingNotHandcuffs azfamily.com/2024/04/23/cam…
🧵To save lives & #preventoverdose, we must collectively invest in #harmreduction & the people most impacted by drugs — people who use drugs. Rather than pouring money into "scare campaigns," we must fund evidence-backed health approaches & care. bit.ly/InvestInPeople…
We are gearing up for heat relief in Phoenix and the surrounding areas for the unhoused community. We reach several hundred folks each month with life saving harm reduction. Wanna help? Check out our Amazon list. We could use some help 💙 amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

Mobile harm reduction is a necessity in Phoenix. Regular sweeps and arrests of our unhoused community has made it difficult for people to have access to life saving harm reduction. We meet people where they are at around the city of Phoenix and the surrounding areas.
Helen Cruz, who has experienced homelessness in Grants Pass, OR: “Housing IS the only solution.” #SCOTUS #JohnsonVGrantsPass
Besides the fact that they looked this way when Ducey was “in charge”, let’s acknowledge that if cities in Maricopa County provided adequate shelter and resources to help, folks wouldn’t have to resign to taking shelter in a bus stop. @CityofPhoenixAZ

Extreme conservative SCOTUS is going to hear Grants Pass tomorrow. As housing inaccessibility and homelessness rates increase, this case will -fundamentally- shape society. And YES, punitive tactics against homelessness violate the Eight Amendment.👇🏽 apple.news/A_bm3Kq9-T8mv9…
As we listen to arguments in the Supreme Court today, we must remember housing is the solution. #housingnothandcuffs
Today the Supreme Court begins hearing arguments regarding the criminalization of homelessness in the Grants Pass case. You can listen to the live stream here, which has already started. youtube.com/live/rCm414X-r…
Thank you so much! 🫶
Never forget: Arizona DPS troopers tear-gassed children, women and men at the State Capitol on the night of June 24, 2022, after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. And then fencing and razor wiring put up around the Capitol. Abortion will be on the ballot. 🌵
For all the west valley folks in Phoenix there is a rally Sunday at 11 am at Thunderbird and the 101 💙. #AbortionIsHealthcare mobilize.us/northwestvalle…
All the protests this weekend in the Phoenix Metro Area to rally against the abortion ban. Saturday 5 pm- Phx Sunday 11 am Rio Vista Park Sunday 4 pm Scottsdale 💙🌊
Next Monday! Hope to see y’all there! 🫶
Sidewalk Project Phoenix had a blast packing safe sex kits for our friends at @swopphoenix to distribute 💙 #MutualAid #harmreduction #Phoenix
And the war on drugs continues. Sadly we try the same thing over and over for decades. And the drugs get stronger and more dangerous. With very little investment in recovery, housing, harm reduction & education.

Rolling back harm reduction services is a reckless move, deepening the overdose crisis. We need real solutions, not political posturing and legislators need to stop gambling with our lives. By withholding support for harm redux efforts they perpetuate harm and injustice.
We reach hundreds each month with Sidewalk Project Phx Mobile Outreach, getting life saving harm reduction into the hands of people who need it the most. Wanna help? Check out my Amazon list in the bio. 😊@TSWP_Phoenix #phoenix
It is hard to convey what it's like to watch legislators condemn your friends, family & peers to avoidable infectious disease transmission & death. I don't care if politicians feels like SSPs are enabling. The facts are they foster recovery & save lives. bigcountrynewsconnection.com/news/state/ida…
Harm reduction saves lives. We love Sunday in the park 💙

The city that brought this case to the Supreme Court has NO SHELTERS. No options.
The Supreme Court is hearing a case today that’s been decades in the making: In Grants Pass, Oregon, the city made it illegal to sleep outside—a law targeting homeless people. But there are NO homeless shelters in Grants Pass. So being homeless essentially becomes a crime.
@az_resist So many people think that they could never become homeless.
