On August 10, we came together with our community partners Supervisor Matt Haney, Code Tenderloin, St. Anthony’s, Tipping Point, Megablack SF, and award-winning artist Malik Senefru to create a mural in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood.
“Let’s recognize the large number of unhoused Black people navigating and residing in the Tenderloin, and let’s hurry up and house these people with dignity,” said Del Seymour, founder of Code Tenderloin, a nonprofit serving the area’s residents. “This housing crisis is very rampant for Black people all throughout San Francisco and across America. We have Black families living in tents, cars, and shelters. We must not be quiet about the number of unhoused Black people in the Tenderloin community.”
At a time when Black people across the Bay Area are facing an unprecedented crisis of displacement, criminalization, and economic marginalization, it is important to continue advocating for change.
