Providing houseless folks with hotel rooms and assistance will cost the city nothing, because the Biden administration has offered to foot the bill. So why aren’t women in Skid Row getting the help they

deserve?

"Stop treating Black people in Skid Row like chattel, cattle, rabid dogs, criminals, babies—just treat them like adults that are worthy of respect," demands Monique Noel of the Downtown Women’s Action

Coalition.

・・・

On April 20th, Judge Carter ordered L.A. city and county to offer shelter to everyone on Skid Row by fall. This was lauded as a solution to homelessness, but what the public does not realize is that it is an effort to sweep marginalized people into substandard shelters & criminalize the unhoused.⁣

⁣

We, Women In Skid Row, (LINK IN BIO) represent a collective of community members, stakeholders and advocates for unhoused people of Skid Row, and we are extremely troubled by the consequences for our community should the Court’s injunction be implemented.⁣

⁣

Despite purporting to be an attempt to combat the circumstances created by historical racism, displacement, and houselessness, especially for bodies of color, this injunction reads like the blueprint for white supremacy and systemic racism.⁣

⁣

The Court’s ruling details how this country has upheld these harmful systems in the past, and yet only continues and expands upon these tactics, predominately targeting and impacting women on the streets and in our Skid Row community, especially those in the sex trade, drug users, trans people, queer people, gender nonconforming people and

BIWOC.⁣

⁣

Painting unhoused people’s needs in a few broad brushstrokes, the injunction categorically fails to consider the nuanced needs of women, people of color, and other marginalized people based on sexism, patriarchy, heterosexism, transphobia, stigma of drug-use and survival sex work, and daily exposure to gender violence and sexual

violence.⁣

⁣

Instead, this ruling pushes these vulnerable populations to the crossroads of an order that provides multiple pathways to incarceration and mental health difficulties; amounting to state-sanctioned violence on so many of the residents in Skid Row and dozens of smaller communities of unhoused people across the county.⁣

⁣

Femicide in Skid Row. The silent killing of unhoused Black and Brown women. Homelessness kills. ⁣ @lacanetwork_official @the_sidewalk_project @lapovertydepartment⁣ @resurrektion_of_me @Somasnakeoil⁣
