Following the April 9 shakeup when officers woke up tent residents at 14th and Market Street at 4 a.m. and told them to leave, many have received conflicting messages from police since that day on whether they should vacate the premises.
On Thursday’s “St. Louis on the Air” host Sarah Fenske joins Alex Cohen, a member of grassroots collective #TentMissionSTL, and talks to him about what’s going on in the tent encampments downtown. During the conversation, Cohen will discuss what #TentMissionSTL is doing to ensure the safety of the homeless population in St. Louis.
Chico Williams, who stays in one of the tents downtown, will also join the discussion and give a first-hand account of what he’s experienced during the coronavirus outbreak in the city.
