Wraith is mad an encampment at N Edison and Mill Street is next on the sweeps list in Reno, following the opening of new mega shelter the Nevada Cares Campus. It’s broiling hot and it’s only June second. People here are tired of journalists and cameras. Advocates were hoping they could make this a legal safe camp until the official safe camp opens at the new Nevada Cares Campus but the City of Reno cars and police vehicles are already here and notices have been handed out. There’s been a petition getting hundreds of signatures to stop the sweeps, angry words at the City Council meeting, and a new Occupy protest in downtown Reno, but the sweeps aren't stopping, so Wraith is busy getting people and their possessions into different vehicles.
