Activists take over Washington hotel to demand housing for homeless during pandemic – ABC News

Members of a housing advocacy group were arrested in Washington state Sunday after they allegedly stormed a hotel in Olympia and occupied it while demanding better care for people living on the streets. Olympia police said around 11 a.m., around 45 members of the group Oly Housing Now, some of whom were reportedly armed with hatchets, batons and knives and had gas masks, helmets and goggles, gathered outside the Red Lion Hotel in Olympia and made their way inside. Oly Housing Now released a statement in which it claimed the members took the hotel for “emergency pandemic housing,” and demanded the city pay for rooms using Federal Emergency Management Agency funding.
