My city is about to purchase a hotel and convert it into permanent supportive housing for the homeless, with police money for operating costs. This is one of the best things to happen in this hellscape of a city.

Enter the NIMBYs

Mackenzie Kelly , a ghoul who posed with Proud Boys during her city council campaign, asked for a week of deliberation to “educate her constituents about the hotel purchase.”

Instead, she organized protests against it. 200 NIMBYs, with food and refreshments.

In coalition with Freda’s Seafood (a restaurant nearby), GOP operative Matt Mackowiak , and the Austin Police Association are trying to stop this hotel purchase and also effectively criminalize homelessness in the city.

What can you do?

The deadline for this purchase is Thursday.

I’ve linked a few twitter accounts. More can be found on facebook or Twitter with simple research. We need a social media push on this.

Solidarity with the victims of capitalism, and cyberbullying against those who would hurt their fellow human beings like this.

I know y’all aren’t my personal posting army, but the folks here have helped out with amazing things before, and it would mean so much to me and to the people living on the streets in Austin Texas. Thank you.
