Four Flyers For Homeless Self-Defense

Recent confrontations between homeless groups and individuals in groups reportedly identifying themselves as "East Siders", where the latter have assaulted, beaten, and maced the former make the need for homeless people to band together particularly important. Also important is the need to document encounters both for later community education, but also for immediate self-defense. "You're being filmed" can be an important deterent, especially if the signal is being uploaded in real time. Both against police misconduct and vigilante violence.

Community members are invited to help homeless people plan self-defensive strategies at the Sub Rosa Cafe 10 AM Wednesday April 17 at 703 Pacific.

I wrote the "Fight Vigilante and Police Violence" as well as the shorter "Get a Receipt" flyer.

The "Arm the Homeless" flyer was written by a Homes Not Jails member.
