Squatting resources!

Because the state prioritizes landlords’ right to leech money off of the working class during a pandemic while contributing nothing of value to society over tenants’ right to not die of exposure, we’re about to face a global eviction crisis. That means people will be thrown out on the street to fend off a deadly virus while houses that nobody can afford sit empty. At the same time, countless small businesses and community centers are shutting down because they can’t afford rent

So here are a few guides to squatting, breaking into and living in or otherwise using (e.g. as a social center) abandoned property:

Not enough sleep the past couple of days made it hard to become enthusiastic about the day ahead. Although I am very pleased that by tomorrow I'll have my very own jigsaw and orbital sander to build new furniture as well as the material for a floating shelf for my yoga mats and a beautiful dog crate/shelf.
