So it looks like we're in the "clear" at Laurelhurst at this point? I mean, barring the city being dicks and just doing a sweep anyway (which is always possible, so we need to maintain alertness).

Were they given access to services? Is there plans for long term mental and health care?

I can't do the interviews myself or I'd go get them. And then I'd write article after article. I'd make flyer after flyer. And I'd tell everyone in the neighborhood association about what the protesters did. And I'd start finding out how they'd be willing to help us.
Each person is different. You have to talk to them. What can they do? What resources or skills can they offer? Not everyone will have the same ability. Not everyone will have money.
But if we can get people thinking about the ways they can help on an individual level. If we can show them how being involved politically can improve things. If we can frame whatever help we need from them in a way that is an easy step for them to take.
We might get the buy-in.
