Authors of The Resistance is amplifying the call for justice following the brutal arson attack on the tent city encampment in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, an act of terror against the unhoused, the vulnerable, and the intentionally unseen.
This was not just a fire. It was a calculated assault on human dignity. Lives were endangered. Sacred belongings, survival gear, and community-built shelters were reduced to ash. The message was clear: those without homes are treated as disposable. We reject that message.
This violence echoes the legacy of systemic cruelty—where poverty is criminalized, and those who fall outside the margins are punished for existing. It is a modern-day lynching of the spirit, carried out not with ropes but with flames and silence.
We demand truth. We demand accountability. We demand protection for our unhoused kin and the dismantling of every system that enables this kind of brutality to be ignored, sanitized, or justified.
Their lives matter. Their shelters mattered. Their stories will not be erased.
