    Seriously how can we protect this vulnerable group. I generally want to know if anyone knows what’s been successful in other cities to 1) stop terrorizing/traumatizing them and 2) house them

      1. work with local advocacy orgs. food not bombs is also a great way to meet local leftists, in any case. but generally there are already orgs in every city attempting this fight on the ground. they provide services and serve as a nexus for direct action.
      2. show up enmass to local government meetings to cause a stink when they try to enact harmful policies.
      3. prevent the cops from targeting encampments by putting bodies in between (preferably armed).
