From the back cover:
“Seattle is actively making worse the already dire humanitarian disaster of homelessness, and failing to reign in a hostile, out-of-control police department. Drawing on interviews, research, and field work, these comics tell stories of our most vulnerable residents, and how they are being harmed and killed by the policies of Mayor Bruce Harrell, the Seattle City Council, and the Seattle Police Department. These comics, which originally appeared in Seattle Magazine and Real Change in 2022-2024, tell a story of almost incomprehensible cruelty and incompetence—and the humane solutions we could enact immediately if we chose to.”
