point is, I saw her amidst the conditions that would ultimately kill her try to reach out for something better, and she did so with incredible compassion and curiosity for the lives of her neighbors.

About a year before this happened I had helped Eucy try to organize the tenants in her building against their landlord. It didn't really come together. None of the tenant organizing efforts we tried in '21 and '22 really did. I could go into some of the structural reasons behind that but that's not really the point of this thread

we all get why she did it. Caught between the near impossibility of raising almost ten grand from an already cash strapped local community and the dehumanizing conditions of being unhoused on American streets, she figured it better to die then and there, and try and take some small piece of the landlords' machine out with her. She almost got one of the deputies. Almost but not quite

Eucy was a comrade, a friend of several friends of mine, and an amazing community presence. She died a year ago today. It was in the news. She had become disabled, unemployed, and thousands of dollars behind on rent during the darkest years of Covid. She made the fateful decision to barricade herself in her apartment on eviction day and engage three King County Sherrif's deputies in a firefight she did not survive
