STOP THE SWEEPS

DEFEND DAIRY DRIVE

RALLY
📅 Saturday, September 27, 2 PM
📍 3202 Dairy Drive

MUTUAL DRIVE
📅 Friday, September 26, 10 AM
📍 3202 Dairy Drive

Bring Supplies to Support Residents

• Shelter: tents, tarps, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, blankets, pillows, flashlights
• Clothing: coats, shoes/boots, socks, underwear, other clothes
• Food & Water: non-perishable food, bottled water
• Other Support: bikes, gift cards (grocery, Walmart, Visa)

Over 75% of the 97 people who have lived at Dairy Drive since 2021 have successfully moved into safe, permanent housing.
Now the City wants to demolish Dairy Drive and push residents into overcrowded, unsafe shelters instead.

Tell City Council and Alder Badri Lankella:

“You cannot put a price on human life.”

Ask Our Alders:
• Attend the Sept 30 Council Meeting
• Reconsider the Dairy Drive demolition
• Redirect funds from police to housing and services

🥺—Stealing the blanket not for himself, but for his owner.
One night, security cameras caught a dog sneaking into a store and dragging a blanket outside. A curious worker followed him and discovered the dog wasn’t stealing for himself—he was carrying it to his homeless owner.💕

Touched, the worker went back inside, gathering snacks, a pillow, and even dog food to bring to them. When the story was shared online, it quickly went viral. Donations poured in, and a GoFundMe was launched.

Today, the man and his loyal dog are staying in a motel while he applies for jobs. When asked about the missing blanket, the store owner said, “Why be upset? The dog did what many humans wouldn’t—help someone in need.”💕🥺

I had to share this: She is correct when she said it is hard to get into the shelter because they are full. 😓

20 neighbors showed up under the Yahara bridge to protect unhoused community members from threats of eviction. 💪🏾🏙️

We know the real crisis isn’t people sleeping outside.

it’s skyrocketing rents and unaffordable housing.

When we show up for each other, we keep each other safe. ✊🏾❤️
