Early also notes, "DSA chapters fighting gentrification—or trying to make sure its benefits are more equitably shared—will find Shaw’s book to be an invaluable guide to effective activism around housing issues." GET YOUR COPY OF THE BOOK HERE: tenderloinmuseum.org/store/t…

On this week's Calif. Sun Pod @mmcphate I talk with Randy Shaw @beyondchron director of SF's Tenderloin Housing Clinic and founder of the Tenderloin Museum. He champions the district's history and resistance. bit.ly/4i1ciEc

“There is consensus on what should be done: 24/7 beat cops until the areas are cleared for weeks.” I agree Randy Shaw - I passed legislation to create citywide foot patrols - this will be one of my highest priorities day one. beyondchron.org/market-stree…

Perhaps not since 1984 has the contrast between one ticket promoting hope and the other fear been clearer. @beyondchron #timwalz #kamalaharris #harriswalz

What Does Blocking Bridges Accomplish?

How do bridge blockages connect to the traditional activist template of using strategies designed to win public support? @beyondchron #protest #gaza

A must read from @beyondchron about the open drug markets in San Francisco.
"Here’s the fundamental problem: the city lacks a system to prevent recently cleared drug markets from reopening."

💯Agree with you @beyondchron
"Let’s be clear: it’s the mayor, not the Board of Supervisors, who runs the city. The buck stops with her."
When will it end @LondonBreed ?
Our loved ones are dying.

"The streets are a nightmare." How SF's open air drug markets are now getting worse. bit.ly/3C36EOA @TSFAction @Twolfrecovery

This article from @beyondchron nails it. Yes, some SF neighborhoods are thriving. But many neighborhoods clearly aren’t, and residents in these neighborhoods deserve sidewalks free of open-air drug markets too. #ThatsFentalife

The drug dealing in our city is not the same as it used to be. A new approach is required.

Hard left NIMBYs on SF's drug crisis: "It favors dealers over neighborhood families because it sees open drug markets as stopping gentrification. That’s why I have never heard Dean Preston offer any real concern over the neighborhood’s open drug markets."

"Mayor Breed really needs to explain to Tenderloin businesses and residents why opening another drug dealer feeder operation in their neighborhood won’t put their safety at risk. This dialogue has been missing."

“Contrary to what many believe, the Tenderloin is not beset by complex problems. At least 95% of the neighborhood’s problems have a single cause: open air drug dealing.” We agree @beyondchron ! #MothersAgainstDrugDeaths @StopDrugDeaths
"The Mayor and Chief showed last Nov. at Union Square that they can find officers to temporarily flood neighborhoods. This has never happened in the Tenderloin! It needs to happen now." bit.ly/3PM5qwe

"...the #AffordableHomesNow measure for the November ballot...reduces San Francisco’s slowest in the state approval times from four years to six to twelve months. This is critical for improving the city’s affordability." @beyondchron

Please support our essential workers & @LondonBreed proposal. @SupStefani @mattdorsey @RafaelMandelman @HillaryRonen @Ahsha_Safai @shamannwalton @myrnamelgar @DeanPreston @AaronPeskin
Mayor Breed's proposed $12 million wage increase for supportive housing workers--setting desk clerks at $22 and janitors at $23--is being blocked by @SF_HSH. Supes must protect workers at today's hearing! bit.ly/3xI9xSa @thejdmorris @gilduran76 @HillaryRonen @DeanPreston

California's #EllisAct is abused by corporations to displace thousands of Californians & reduces rental housing stock by thousands of units. @drarambulaAD31 @AsmLisaCalderon @AsmMikeGipson @AsmGrayson @Evan_Low @AsmBlancaRubio @rudysalasjr @AsmLoriDWilson - Vote YES on #AB2050!
Randy Shaw retweeted
Over 5,400 households in SF have been forced out of their homes using the #EllisAct.
In Berkeley, 457 units have been take off the rental market. In San Jose, 10 units have been withdrawn just in 2019-20.
We need #AB2050 to prevent investors from evicting vulnerable tenants!
Randy Shaw retweeted
as we prepare for #AB2050 to be taken up in the assembly, we are also fighting to stop the ellis eviction of the flower lady in bernal heights.
we need ellis act reform NOW, it is unacceptable to allow evictions like this to move forward.
if ur in sf, show up at 5:30pm today!
