What’s wild is that this lady is responsible for ending someone’s life and she got bail and May get off. But Edin Alex Enamorado didn’t take a life and was defending street vendors yet he has been in jail without bail for a year now. #freealex #justiceformrkim

Susan drove us to pick up food donations. We all love those Korean corn dogs stuffed with fishcakes and mozzarella. We’re asking for other people to step to drive us to pick up food. Get 5 people to donate $10, so we can buy a $50 cart of groceries at World Harvest. For $50, we get $300-$400 worth of groceries. We’re trying to pool our money. But a lot of us are on General Relief. That’s $221 per month. A lot of people are still paying rent to LAHSA, which is collected by PATH. $66 in rent (1/3 of GR) plus a DWP bill for $105. That doesn’t leave us much at all. There’s so little to begin with. A lot of us have been working our entire lives. A lot of us have been working since we were kids. A lot of us worked at jobs even when we were living on the streets. We pay taxes. Where’s our safety net? We learned the term “economic mobility” last week. We didn’t even know this was a possibility. Most of us have been stuck in one entry level job after another. Some of us did have good jobs. Then an emergency happened that pushed us over the edge. A decent number of us have children. So many of us have been poor all our lives, for generations. We never even dared to dream about good paying blue collar jobs or college for our kids. We have sustainable food security with periods of abundance and surplus. We feel empowered to fight for tenants rights. We’re not scared anymore. Now, we’re daring to dream and hope for better lives. Your advocacy matters. PATH workers have been more careful with us. Your eyes on our cause matters. PATH must not be allowed to go back to their hostile, degrading ways. #homeless #filipinos #koreans

We’re going to start organizing with the newly formed DTLA Tenants Union Local. Susan went to the meeting last night as our Representative, because none of us could make it. We don’t have cars and public transportation costs money. There’s a big difference between taking public transportation by choice and taking public transportation because you have no choice. We’re also tired by the end of the day. It’s only been one week since we achieved sustainable food security. Think about this. How many years have we been food insecure? For some of us, food insecurity began in the womb. Feast or Famine. Fight or flight. Advocacy from community members that government and PATH recognize with works. Every email from Susan’s nonprofit gains us a win. We have a long fight ahead of us. Join us for public comment at government and commissioners meetings. We’ll keep you posted. @latenants #homeless #filipino #koreans

Susan brought chicken and smoked lechon for our Labor Day BBQ potluck. Jun made a lot of rice. There was a noodle dish. Susan explained how we can do mutual aid. Not the concept. But where the resources are. 20 of us can pool $10 per month to go to World Harvest twice a month. We need someone with a car to pick up free donations from Susan’s wholesale contact. It’s not fair to ask her to do all the driving. She told us about LAX-C. 20 of us can pool $5-$10 per month to buy rice, sugar, salt, cooking oil, and dish soap at wholesale bulk prices. Then we divide it. This way we get a bunch of products for the price of one. Total cost per person per month is $15-$20. We have to be fed to organize. It’s hard for hungry people to organize. Hunger is distracting and stressful. We are beyond happy to achieve food security and food abundance. We are human beings. #homeless #filipino #korean

Just two days ago, The Residents of S Grand formed a Tenant Association. Today, we came to @latenants annual picnic to start a DTLA Local Tenants Union. We found out that a DTLA Local is already in the process of forming. We’re stronger together! The Residents’ rent strike begins today. We don’t even have money for basic needs. Food, not rent. We dare to hope for some quality of life. We dare to imagine a better world for ourselves and our loved ones. We demand to be treated with dignity by PATH staff. The staff doesn’t do anything for us. They try to stop people who help us by harassing them. They talk to us like we’re criminals when we did nothing wrong. PATH and The Homeless Industrial Complex need to be exposed and dismantled. Mayor Bass’s false promises and complicity in disposing of us needs to be exposed. @pathpartners @mayorofla #homeless #filipino #korean

On Friday, August 30, PATH worker LeShay harassed us while we were bringing donated food into the building we live in. She disrupted and obstructed a food distribution. She asked if we have a right to the food. What does this mean? She’s questioning our right to food? Our right to eat? Our right to be nourished? The manager is concerned that we’re bringing in so much food. There are 150 residents inside this building who go hungry on a regular basis. Where are we going to cook it? The manager doesn’t want “The Filipinos” to cook downstairs. Why is the manager singling out “The Filipinos”? It’s a communal kitchen. We have every right to cook in the communal kitchen. @pathpartners @mayorofla
