This past weekend a memorial service was held for Althea York, a PTH member who passed away. The service was held at Powell Gardens where Althea spent a lot of time. She was a part of housing campaigns and the work PTH did on a Community Land Trust. We share this in her memory.

Across the street from the 75th precinct in East New York is a publicly owned lot that the city just allows the precinct to use to park police cars. PTH went to an action to support the people creating spaces for the community to thrive.

On May 1st Picture the Homeless members joined labor organizers and other groups for May Day to support the fight for labor unions and worker rights. PTH supports the struggle of workers to fight for a living wage, good working conditions, and to have their voices heard.

On April 20th PTH and other groups went to Tompkins Square Park to tell Eric Adams to STOP THE SWEEPS. The Adams administration continues destroying homeless communities, throwing away their belongings, and pushing them into crowded shelters. Spread the word - STOP THE SWEEPS!

Brave and important open letter from @NYCDHS workers. Homeless people know that NYPD cannot and SHOULD not be involved in service provision, and DHS employees know it too.

NYC Homeless Services Workers demand that all money used to fund police involvement with homeless outreach be immediately redirected to social services and housing. medium.com/@nycdhslettert… These demands echo the findings just published in #HomelessCantStayHome report.
