Last year GAY SHAME gave away 200+ tents to help support our houseless
neighbors, we are going bigger this year.
Instead of simply opening the estimated +200,000 vacant units in San
Francisco to houseless people they sit empty while London Breed tweets
from her city hall plantation about activists “who hand out tents to
keep people on the street.”
Meanwhile SFPD, DPW, and Urban Alchemy sweep the streets, throwing away
(or confiscating and selling) people’s tents, personal documents,
medications, mobility devices, and valuables. London Breed calls people
“service resistant” but honey, there are no services to resist!
The harder she goes, the harder we go.
In honor of our favorite #GirlBoss subtweeting us, we will use all these
funds to buy tents to give directly to our houseless neighbors this
winter. Atmospheric rivers will occur more frequently and more intense
because of climate catastrophe, our houseless neighbors deserve to seek
shelter by any means necessary and without being terrorized.
Our support is based on the following ideas and principles:
- People must have the ability to self-direct their own care and
services.
- Conservatorship kills. Cops terrorize people, they don't "offer help".
ABOLISH SFPD.
- As much as possible: Supporting people with direct resources (housing,
food, cash, etc.) is better than fake government-directed services or
NPIC foolishness.
fuck london breed and fuck sfpd / abolish brooke jenkins and avenge
banko brown / fuck the war on the tenderloin / two years later and
counting / still going strong / we keep us safe / RIP MARIO WOODS /
200,000+ vacant units /
Gay Shame is not a direct service provider, but we hope this can help
our friends and neighbors survive.

GAY SHAME is a virus in the system. We are committed to a trans/queer
extravaganza that brings direct action to spectacular levels of
confrontation. We work collectively outside boring and deceptive
non-profit models to fight white supremacy, capitalism, ableism, cops,
settler-colonialism, and all forms of domination. Liberals think we are
frivolous decorations and mainstream gays want us gone. Against them and
with each other we instigate, irritate, and agitate, to build cultures
of devastating resistance.
