This is us docked in Haverstraw moments before a member of the Elks Lodge kicked us off their docks

This is us docked in Haverstraw moments before the all white D-bag jeering squad at the Elks Lodge started yelling rude comments and told us to get the fuck off their docks. Moving over to the other marina, we faced the same treatment (There are no spaces available and we can’t have “something like this here.”) until Ginny and the mayor intervened. Ironically Ginny’s family, like most of the Black families in the area, was pushed out of the neighborhood to build this marina and high-rent condos. #shantyboat #gentrification #institutionalracism #shantyphobic
