LEFT FOR DEAD
The City Created a supposed an alleged “solution” to homelessness which became a dangerous site of negligence and mismanagement and now the City is evicting houseless residents

What: Speak-out of residents and advocates
When: 8am Monday, July 14
Where The Cabins- 2601 Wood Street Oakland

“Left for dead by B.O.S.S and the City of Oakland, when does the madness stop? When does accountability start. When do we as a community stand united? Housed and unhoused and demand that this blatant act of irresponsiblness stop!!” John Janasko, formerly houseless Wood Street Commons resident and organizer

The City of Oakland created The Wood Street Cabins which they claimed was a solution to homelessness after violently evicting hundreds of houseless residents from one of the largest encampments in Oakland in the spring of 2023. Since it’s opening in 2023, the Cabins have struggled with mismanagement and negligence by contractoed service providers and abuse of the residents human rights. Now they are evicting all the already houseless residents to nowhere.

“This has never been a solution, the City and the service providers got alot of money to “manage us” and they really have done nothing at all,” said Larry, one of the houseless residents of the Cabins. “We have nowhere to go but back to the streets,” he concluded.

After struggling with live sewage in their walkways, broken plumbing and doors and locks never replaced or repaired and only one working bathroom for the whole community, The residents of the Cabins have now received an eviction notice to be out to nowhere on Monday, July 14th

“The poltricksters keep creating solutions about us without us, they are not infomed by Poverty Scholarship, love or dignity, they just want us out of sight, swept to nowhere like we are trash,” What continues to shock me is the lateral violence by the City of our houseless bodies, this violent War ON the poor, with no account for our lives,” said tiny gray-garcia, aka formerly houseless co-founder of and Homefulness

Farce of ULie sounds like death -PoemCast from

Sounds like death
Smells like burning flesh
A simulation of
Destruction , demolition
And oppression
From Palestine to Ukraine to the stolen US

Smoke rises from ashes of lives
hidden and obstructed
From yo eyes by flags with
Stars and Stripes

Smoke rises from streets
In barrios and towns
Where we lose young men and women
To cheap guns & violent sweeps

Remembered with candles and prayers for babies and elders lives who shud still b here

Sold and told thru settler eyes
Focused on stealing homes and indigenous land thru babies & mamas genocide

This isn't a holiday
Pls throw that corn dog away
Pls put water on that bbq pit today
This picnic is on stolen land
From Gaza to the mission
To the Bronx and west oakland

Benign names like cherry bombs
And firecrackers with sounds designed to terrorize
That Our poor babies are taught to like
Even tho so many of their homies have died from the same violent lies

The farce of ULie is just that
A lie , a party that is rotting
Like the orange kkkraka king
And his sick belief in stealing &haording and killing

Step away from that lie
Designed to celebrate colonial genocide
Pray and dance and Dream into land back and decolonize

With Interdependence day
Land Back
Land Black
The drum
The moon and the sky
And the resistance to genocide
