Pushing the people in and out of shelters. I call it, “Recycling Homelessness”. The recent homeless initiatives come on the heels of election campaign season. In my opinion, It’s just more of a campaign scheme. More election propaganda to make it seem like they doing the right thing. All a Political show.

I’ve been urging the people of Newark to call Ras Baraka at 973-733-6400 and Phil Murphy at 609-292-6000, and ask them to pay a visit to Newark-Essex County Landlord-Tenant Court, to witness the eviction Tsunami that is taking place in Newark. Ask them to put a moratorium on evictions until they come up with a real sustainable plan to address the evictions, Job & Homeless crisis. The Shelters & Containers are filled to capacity
We need Newark Elected Officials to Act Fast!!! We are in a crisis
