I've been working on trying to get my houseless friends to trust the police more.

An outsider just came through and beat up 3 people in the Houseless Movement Garden. They just called me as what to do about it. I told them to call the police. It's such a foreign idea to them it never even occurred to them.

They hung up the phone and called the police. That's pretty impressive.

We are all so divided that building trust in "the other" is very challenging.
