SF City Worker Refuses to Destroy a Homeless Person’s ‘Tiny Home’

This video just made it my way. In it you see an SF city worker sitting in her car watching as her coworkers tear down someone’s ‘tiny home’ and she refuses to participate. You hear her say  “I don’t want no parts of that shit…ain’t none of my shit being used to tear that man’s house up”.

It’s sickening and heartbreaking that this is happening but especially during these cold, wet El Niño years. Much respect is due to this woman who is defying her work orders because she refuses to be part of this injustice.

**Please note: The woman on this video reached out to the Coalition on Homelessness and asked them to post it.  They warned her of the risks, but she was insistent.  The Coaliton sent it to me.
