Cash Not Conservatorship
Donation protected
We are fundraising to give cash directly to our unhoused neighbors, especially in the Tenderloin, Mission, Castro and SoMa in San Francisco.
Locally, Mayor London Breed has refused to house people in the empty hotels that the City has already paid for, or any of the thousands of empty luxury condos, corporate employee rental spaces, a whole-ass empty mall where 949 Market was, vacant business venues and other useless or newly built unoccupied properties. Instead Breed has increased street sweeps and conservatorship of unhoused people. In this context, mutual-aid projects are holding it down with almost no resources while non-profits have made millions off the pandemic.
Our support is based on the following ideas and principles:
- People must have the ability to self-direct their own care and services.
- Conservatorship kills. Cops terrorize people, they don't "offer help". ABOLISH SFPD
- As much as possible: supporting people with direct resources (housing, food, cash, etc) is better than fake government directed services.
Gay Shame is not a direct service provider, but we hope this can help our friends and neighbors survive.
100% of funds will go directly to houseless people in SF, most of whom are people of color.
GAY SHAME is a virus in the system. We are committed to a trans/queer extravaganza that brings direct action to spectacular levels of confrontation. We work collectively outside boring and deceptive non-profit models to fight white supremacy, capitalism, ableism, cops, settler-colonialism and all forms of domination. Liberals think we are frivolous decorations and mainstream gays want us gone. Against them and with each other we instigate, irritate, and agitate, to build cultures of devastating resistance.
