“[The library] is the main space that folks go to get out of the element & it's designated for that purpose. But now the exact people that absolutely need to be able to have access to that are going to catch a 1-3 year ban because they're also trying to sleep outside when it's closed at night."
Why has DC's MLK Library banned sleeping outside?New enforcement includes rope barriers and police to keep homeless people from sleeping under the library's overhang.51st.newsEncampment evictions don’t solve homelessness, they make it worse.
The 51stNEW: This month, the D.C. Public Library began enforcing rules banning people from sleeping outside of downtown's MLK Library. Advocates worry it will simply move people elsewhere, making it harder to connect them with housing and services. In partnership with @streetsensedc.bsky.social:

There are over 800 people sleeping on the streets of DC (& that’s a lowwwwball estimate). Almost all of them are Black & from DC. But we’re spending hundreds of millions & making exceptions for the occupying military force so they can continue to terrorize our neighbors.
Martin AustermuhleWow: The National Guard has signed a $292 million contract to house thousands of troops deployed to D.C. in 2,000 apartments in the city, instead of in hotels or other places where they've been put up. www.notus.org/defense/nati...
Unless you have to sleep outside of the MLK library cause you have nowhere else to go.

National Guard from numerous states have been here for almost a year. Dem Governors sent troops here to supposedly assist with America 250 events, bringing the total occupying force to 5,000. It doesn’t matter why they were sent here, they’re an occupying military & need to be sent home.
Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwòhere in DC National Guard has been deployed to "make DC safe and beautiful": a hostile invasion opposed by local political leadership, not to mention most of the rest of us. today they are helping herd Trump supporters by force into the National Museum of African-American History.
