Thanks,

Thank You Disability Rights Oregon for reviewing the lack of ADA access and the disability discrimination at Beacon Clubhouse!sara brown has been my point of contact at clubhouse international.police reports pertaining to the beacon member quentin (possible alias nicholas) assault in march ------ may reflect me calling police for medical distress from the victim homeless dwayne.when i wrote erin carlsen about osarch orak using the sexual innuendoo "blue balls" around homeless women and men----he had the same officer carrera who responded to quentin's assault----contact me to tell me osarch was excluding me as a punishment for reporting sexual harassment and other assaults.i emailed officer hansen with a quick summary of the basis for my exclusion: whistleblowing sexual innuendo, drugs, crimes, etc.i was encouraged to file a police report about the "blue balls" harassment, but since i was not the direct victim, and the homeless are not willing to be starved by osarch as the price to pay for whistleblowing the harassment, so far as i know, other whistleblowers only get kicked out and leave town, when they cross him.future clatsop judge "kirk wintermute" is the board president for beacon.i requested a meeting to talk about my report---or a revocation of retaliatory exclusion.he sent me an email with repeated unfair false allegations, contradicting erin carlsen's satatemen of knowing "you are not like that" about osarch's delusional accusations of"impersonating" his tyrannical power structure dynamic, when i was seeking clothing for the homeless.i had prior knowledge helly hansen donated coats due to my experience with 2016-2017 homeless scene prior to erin and osarch getting into it.i had persoanlly donated clothing myself in 2017 and was used to non-heirarchical homeless aid in the style of Food Not Bombs who i had helped with since 1998 in Nashville, los Angeles, and Portland.there is no reason why i would ever want to impersonate an organize an organization that is concealing sexual harassment, or promoting misogyny and discrimination, and it was hard for me to understand osarch's paranoia, which is why i spoke to erin about it.she said that people pretend to by filling empty bellies to get free pizza.she said she knows i am not like that.as a food not bombs participant, i picked up donations and they practice friendly non-stressful donation recruitment. call the bakery. do you have bread. it is not that difficult.it was clear osarch was targeting me as i had seen him target others.it was clear he would try to drive me out of his organization from the way he treated me so harshly and condescendingly behind erin's back.it was not clear to me that erin carlsen would allow him to treat me this way, bc my rapport with her was good.other people have noticed that osarch picks on people erin likes----much as some controlling abusive partners seek to cut off contact with the outside world to isolate their target.for that reason, it puts people like me in a dangerous position, bc i naturally enjoy conversing with activists.my offer was to help convey coats to the methodist shelter or the commercial day center, or even more importantly: to the people who are kicked out of either day or night shelter, due to the draconian 86 system whereby osarch kicks out homeless people denying them food or meals. i told the lady at helly hansen i am especially concerned about the "falling thru the cracks" demographic and could personally run donations to them, as i already do.some people get kicked out of the night shelter. so then they cant access those clothes.if there are police reports associated homeless liaison officer hansen may know how to get them.i never suspected describing Gender Based Violence & sexual abuse leading to my PTSD around abusive men, and why that makes it uncomfortable for me to get harassed or cornered, would lead to me being excluded.i feel very horrified that i would trust erin carlsen with this deeply sensitive information, and that she would further traumatize me by discriminating against me as a person with PTSD made worse by gender based violence.all this aside, i very much admire feeding and clothing the homeless.i do not understand why Beacon Clubhouse could not just apologize and move on. or tell me thanks for your insight. no one is perfect.i feel like they have lashed out at (redacted) supporters.another person i spoke to, a black veteran, told me he was also cornered and scolded and kicked out by osarch.the clubhouse model cannot withstand this type of adverse discrimination.until we have Housing First, the homeless need major help, and i view (redacted)the fact that have have serious concerns about tone and operational difficulties and treatment of homeless women, and the drug scene----should not make me outcast and a pariah.one homeless woman was kicked out AFTER i tried to advocate for her sexual assault.her attacker was not.think about it.starving homeless women, who are already vulnerable puts them in an extremely difficult place.there needs to be a way to take in input, without cutting the telephone line.the staircase is brutally unfair to anyone in a wheelchair.we all know that.PTSD from severe gender based violence is harder to see than wheelchair discrimination, but it is a very real disability.invisible.people should feel better from a Clubhouse, not worse.thank you for looking into itso far NO ONE is granting me any meeting for mediation.erin carlsen only wrote me that i am welcome.it was her partner who had the police call me for a trespass. this is a horrible defamatory act, which humiliates me and tarnishes my name, as the police know me to be an honorable, honest, hard-working person.the thing that i think really "got their goat" is that the homeless and beacon clients CONFIDE in me, bc as an advocate i could move their case forward, and help improve things.in that sense, by becoming a quasi-class representative for anonymous whistleblowers----i had to be "eliminated."until the people who care about the homeless start working together in a more positive way---i see the infighting to slow progress.osarch is a very hard worker---very reliable, very steady. he does not get enough praise and recognition. but he unfairly treats us. MANY people feel bad because of the way he treats us.it sends the message, that Clatsop County doesnt care.hospitality is a degree program, and in the South where i grew up, it is unacceptable to treat people less than civily in a hospitality context.feeding the homeless or the mentally ill is a hospitality job, and human kindness is what people hunger for MORE than food.that includes respect, of the disabled, and women.due to his personality type---it seems to me he needs guidance to smooth out the harsh edges---much as a receptionist does for people behind the scenes.there is no shame in different people having different talents.workaholics trying to do everything is not okay.now that so many homeless and beacon clients are discriminated against----the appearace of a functional org may convince some people.however---the huge disaffected population of Osarch's "86 club" of "excluded former clients" is now a REAL PROBLEM.who will feed them?i propose"filling 86'ed empty bellies" an idea i brought up around christmas, when i spoke to one of the people he was starving as a punishment for the night b4 christmas eve.it bothered me greatly.i wrote the newspaper.how can you get grant money to serve the people, when so many people are denied service?how can we be sure the starvation diet exclusions are fair?even serial killers awaiting trial are not punished with starvation.that would be considered inhumane.why is it okay around the homeless?what makes starving them okay?kirk wintermute wont even tell me who is on the board of directors, to whom he repeated false character attacks on me to deflect from the "blue balls innuendo" issue.personally, i could move past this.not all sexual assault survivors will feel comfortable, given that much abuse of power. Is clatsop going to let it slide, as they slide chris duffy of seaside meals on wheels assaulting me in 2017.probably.will i try to hold them accountable.sure.in the event i become homeless i look forward to the Starvation DIet offered by osarch orak's "filling empty bellies"as a punishment for standing up for homeless women.i have lost confidence in the "clubhouse" concept at this point, until a resolution of these matters happens, hopefully in a safe format for arbitration.On Thu, Aug 18, 2022 at 10:38 AM Steve Elzie <selzie@droregon.org> wrote:Hi Mary-Thank you for providing this.

To: Erin Carlsen <erinbeaconclubhouse@gmail.com>, Sarah Brown <sbrown@clubhouse-intl.org> This is just taking me forever to get this email together it has faced many edits and additions I apologize if it's confusing I'm going to send it to Sarah at the Clubhouse International to confirm I am communicating with you about my safety concerns and out of fear that your email may be checked or deleted by a third party.-----hey! thanks for our phone discussion after i witnessed beacon house member nicholas/quintin assault dwayne on the sidewalk, knocking him to the ground in March.i felt scared when i saw him on the sidewalk outside your organization today. another time i have asked him not to speak to me on the streets.i have never found the right time or place to register another concern.three separate homeless people, including two women and one male, told me separately of an incident with osarch using the term "blue balls" about chocolates he was delivering to the downstairs.i was pretty shocked he would say it around the women, but its still not okay around the men either.the male told me this type of sexual innuendo is even more prevalent from him around just the men.I have heard Ozark use the b-word when talking about business matters up in the Beacon House and that is a trigger word for me because my rapist used the B word prior to raping me to try to insinuate that I deserved to be raped. not everybody knows that that's a very triggering word for victims of misogyny. . .
