February 1st marks one year of KCHU actively agitating, advocating, and aiding the homeless in the greater KCMO area. It's been a long and great year. We will celebrate and continue in like fashion on that day with a donation drive at 10th and Harrison camp from 1-5pm.

We would like to know why in 16 degree weather last night 2 security guards blocked the doors at the Garrison and they would not allow anyone to come in. Were they full? Understaffed? What? This is an overflow shelter and if IT is full too, then the city needs to be doing more.

The city deemed it not cold enough to open the Garrison as a warming center last night, so at 2am, and 16 degrees, they considered it another day, and didn't approve opening for that timeframe either. That also meant no warming buses. The homeless can die for all the city cares.

In another tone deaf move, the city council has decided that when the Garrison emergency shelter reopens, it will only be for women and children. Because clearly the 100 men who filled it previously can't die or get frostbite in the upcoming subzero temperatures.

Our job as the KCHU is not to provide the goods and services that we do, nor to maintain the camps, but we do. Our job is to AGITATE. We seek equity and equality for the homeless. Why do we do it all? 'Cause it's THE RIGHT THING TO DO. Work together or die alone.

Last night. Beginning of the storm. One right outside the doors of ReStart. The other is in the hospital now. City could have prevented this kind of harm. There are others out there, just trying not to die. We will be there, trying to help. $hugyohoodinc

It is currently 9 degrees outside. Do you know where homeless people are? That's right, outside. All day. All night. Nowhere to go. Cannot hide from this cold.

We know that the afflicted can be made comfortable without afflicting the comfortable. So why can't it be a priority to get the needs of the impoverished met, like safe, affordable housing for all, especially the homeless?

The US has given 1200 tons of bombs and guns to Ukraine since January and people are still sleeping under bridges in Detroit in the middle of February.

Eric Morgan is the head of security at the City Union Mission. He is also a registered sex offender. Maybe that's why the Domestic Violence victim we sent thier way yesterday couldn't get help and got hung up on in a huff yesterday.
