DESCRIPTION:Liberty City 2, we are back, and we demand Justice. Berkeley 
 \n\nHomelessness has been in the news a lot lately. Cities continue to 
 criminalize, media continues to marginalize, and society continues to 
 scapegoat. This has caused literally millions of people to suffer. Not just 
 here, but around the world. Back in November, First They Came For The 
 Homeless organized an occupation of city hall with some of Berkeley's 
 homeless population. The city had added laws to specifically target 
 homeless. The occupation lasted more than three weeks. During that time, we 
 managed to keep almost 70 people fed, sheltered, provided a spot to store 
 their gear, got their animals inoculated, and were there to hand out 
 hundreds of blankets and coats during the cold snap. The cities response 
 was to raid and illegally destroy 4 truckloads of personal property. \n\nWe 
 are going back, July 2nd through July 4th, and are demanding answers. We 
 are demanding to be allowed to take care of ourselves. We are demanding the 
 right to rest. We are demanding equal rights. And we are demanding justice. 
 \n\nAnd we need help. We can not achieve the needed numbers to do more than 
 get arrested. We cannot cause anything to change. \n\nToo many of you are 
 too close to losing everything. We need to understand that to be homeless 
 is to be tortured. We need to come together and get a working safety net in 
 place. We need to apply pressure by creating a massive presence. We need to 
 force change for the people, and get the politicians to stop representing 
 profits. If we don't, millions more will suffer. \n\nPlease share this 
 event to everyone. Please try to show up, or set up occupations in 
 solidarity. We must stand up!\n\n
