Medical Professionals Stage Die-in Outside SF Mayor's Home Demanding Hotels for the Unhoused
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In California, medical students and doctors with the UC San Francisco Do
No Harm Coalition staged a die-in outside of the home of San Francisco
Mayor London Breed on Wednesday to protest her refusal to swiftly move
unhoused people into hotel rooms. The die-in lasted 30 minutes to
symbolize 30,000 vacant hotel rooms in the city that could be used to
house the homeless during the pandemic. The protesters also held a
moment of silence for three unhoused people in San Francisco who have
died of COVID-19.
