INDYMEDIA: http://la.indymedia.org/news/2006/11/188635.php KPFK: http://64.27.9.54/archive/index.php?l=8&p=Uprising_Daily_Edition/2006_11_27_homeless.MP3&m=1 "Since late August LAPD has engaged in the largest mass harrassment of poor people in LA history --the city's latest arrest statistics prove that on Skid Row now they are going after innocent homeless people --and claiming we are all 'dangerous drug dealers' --and City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo's lawsuits against hospitals for dumping' about 11 homeless people on Skid Row are completely bogus," states a spokeperson for the group. "The California Constitution declares that humane care of the homeless is a County responsibility including the povision of food clothing adequate housing and medical care--If the City of LA should be suing anybody over the fact that homeless people released from hospitals have no place to go, they should sue the County Board of Supervisors, and demand redress for three decades of homelessness in L.A.;" adds David Busch, a homeless community activist who made front page headlines on 11/17/06, in the L.A. Daily News, (Rocky Takes a Beating) when he and other activists dive-bombed a Delgadillo press conference --to interrupt the City's latest propaganda campaign to clear downtown of the poor. Activists are urgently asking supporters to make phone calls and email LA Mayor Villiariagosa this week --in order to demand the so-called "progressive" Mayor take responsibility for the mass arrests; and to meet with Skid Row homeless people and their advocates calling for "sick beds." "We are demanding that the Mayor do something besides disgusting turkey-shoveling and 'foot-washing' 'photo-ops' --we want him to get on the phone this week, and demand that Skid Row shelters stop kicking all sick people on Skid Row to the curb every morning at 6 a.m.. We immediately need about 150 sick beds on Skid Row for the general population of homeless people who are ill with things like the cold and flu --and who shouldn't be 'dumped' anymore by the shelters to the curb; and by the hundreds by the City in the County Hospital waiting room; and the County Jail," states Busch. www.lacehh.org **WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
