Excerpt:

Calling police on people that don’t have a house is a violent act to those seeking shelter in the community they belong to. More than 70% of Ypsi residents are renters and close to 80% of those rentals are owned by slumlord Stewart Beal. Nearly half of the black community in Ypsi is defined as living below the poverty line.

Yep! I remember the cops watching us at my fnb when I needed it. The neighbors kept calling them on us at a public park. Like dude, the food’s free and there’s usually more than people take, please come, have some and appreciate that your neighbors care enough to make sure everyone gets to eat.

It’s a radical organization, sure, but it doesn’t have to be. We could decide that giving food without asking questions so food doesn’t go to waste while people go hungry isn’t radical but instead is the default.
