Amtrak Police & possibly RDP have set the eviction of the homeless railroad encampment for 8:00 AM tomorrow! Contractors surveyed the property today. They are giving homeless residents a warning at 7:30 AM and will be bulldozing the encampment at 8:00 AM tomorrow!
The homeless residents, and advocacy groups including Occupy Rochester, House of Mercy, Poor People's Coalition, Social Welfare Action Alliance of Rochester, and Metro Justice Housing Committee are calling on Amtrak to stop the eviction until the residents can secure permanent housing.
Come show your solidarity, love, and outrage to protest the eviction of the homeless encampment. Call for an end to the criminalization of homelessness in Rochester. Policies that displace and hide visible homelessness and poverty are fundamentally flawed and do not address the root causes or conditions that cause homelessness.
