They’re building a forced labor concentration camp for homeless people in Utah. And there’s still people saying those of us who recognise reality are hysterical and insane. There’s no line that can be crossed to make them admit it IS that bad, serious, and unacceptable, is there?
I’m literally seeing people on reddit right now being like “This is such an exaggeration, look at their website, they make it sound like it’s going to be nice and helpful”
The propaganda for nazi camps made them sound lovely too. The reality is going to be very different. We will only know the true horror that happened in these places decades from now.
It feels like such obvious, blatant propaganda that people cannot be truly believing it. It just feels like they’re accepting it to quiet their consciousness and continue business as usual.
I hope you don’t mind me adding call scripts and email templates for Utah residents and other US residents to utilize in contacting their representatives (both State and Federal) about this. I don’t have a large following yet, so I am hoping more people will see it if I add it onto an existing post.
Here is an article that discusses the matter, as well as two additional bills that would push for forced labor as a result of homelessness in other states (I will add an additional reblog at a later date to add script options and more in depth information about those bills later on, if that is all right with you, otherwise I will be making a new post for those later on)
Call Script/Email Template for Utah State Legislators:
[If calling] Hello, my name is [blank] and I am a constituent calling from [address]. [If you want to hear back from their office, you may also provide your email address. Not all offices will email you back]
I am reaching out today to demand that [Representative/Senator blank] use their position as an elected official to create and support legislation that fights against the 1,300 bed work camp that is being built in our state. This project is incredibly costly, and it serves no benefit to the economy or the people of Utah. All it does is limit the freedom and rights of the [Representative’s/Senator’s] constituents, put an unfair cost onto our communities, and show that our state is incapable of taking care of its own. If the [Representative/Senator] wants my vote in any future elections, they will work to protect evidence based housing first projects and the right of Utah citizens to avoid unlawful incarceration, regardless of what unenforceable Executive Orders demand.
[If calling] Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a good day.
End script.
Call Script/Email Template for contacting Federal Level Legislators:
[If calling] Hello, my name is [blank] and I am a constituent calling from [address]. [If you want to hear back from their office, you may also provide your email address. Not all offices will email you back]
I am reaching out today to demand that [Representative/Senator blank] strongly speak out against Utah’s efforts to create labor camps to forcibly incarcerate the impoverished and homeless, and work to pass legislation that prevents any future camps from being created in the US. Projects like that are pricey, and they do nothing to actually address issues that contribute to housing insecurity. If you want my vote in the future, you will fight against such barbaric practices.
[If calling] Thank you for your time and consideration. Have a good day.
End script.

These are great, thank you. Anyone who lives in the US should be doing anything they can against this right now. The Utah camp is explicitly designed as a pilot project, they want to expand this into a federal country wide thing.

i’ll never forget the time like 10 years ago when i was calling my cat inside for the night (we found her as a stray and i didn’t know outdoor cats were bad yet, so we were slowly getting her used to living indoors). i kept calling for her over and over because she already knew her name (she’s so smart) but she didn’t always respond immediately and it usually took a while. so i was just standing in the backyard calling out into the night and eventually i saw a shape moving in the darkness. and i was like !!! yay!! kitty!! i see you cmere! come over here! and i swear the shape kinda stopped in its tracks, like in confusion, like asking “are you sure you want me to do that”. but i kept coaxing it closer, and then slowly trundling out of the shadows was a very confused opossum.
and we just stared at each other for a second not moving. and then i said something like. “uh. you’re not my cat. you can… you can go.”
and it just kinda turned back around and walked off into the night. my cat showed up a few minutes later but i’ve never stopped thinking about that
can we please appreciate their t-shirt though holy
