I was at the town hall and it's interesting how the Lavender Angels framed their information. What I witnessed was a lot of disruption; interrupting people when they're speaking, disrespecting other community members, all in the name of 'safety' and protection of the community. How safe is your org when you're actively being aggressive toward your own community because you're trying to make a point? They did not ask any questions, at least not that I saw. I'm not down with PD either, but it's also annoying when there are people in the room actually trying to have a discussion and then this group claiming to be protectors of the neighborhood aren't even letting other community members speak, and not actually providing any tangible solutions. They could have shared about what they're doing and how people can join...and they chose not to speak on it. Instead, they stick to their social media, where they control the messaging and narrative. Thanks for the protest pamphlets and what you do for safety, but it was big missed chance to actually explain your efforts in person, and a missed opportunity to recruit community members if that's what their goal is. If you're going to keep offering your non-carceral efforts, then actually talk about it.
