Save the MLK housing shelter in Tacoma! Solidarity needed at Tacoma City Council Meeting
Start: 2008/05/06 - 5:00pm End: 2008/05/06 - 7:30pm Poor People's Solidarity Needed: Attend Tacoma City Council on May 6 and let them know the King Shelter is a valuable community resource! You might have heard the rumor that the city (under pressure from downtown condo developers) is planning to shut down the Martin Luther King Jr. Homeless Shelter in Hilltop. It sadly is true. The shutdown is due primarily to the new condo development across Court E alley, whose rich tenants have decided the folks on the street don't make a pretty enough view from their windows. The condo's developer (supposedly "BRC Associates," a non-profit) is suing the city in order to shut it down for good. If you'd like to help prevent the King Shelter from being shutdown, please attend the City Council Meeting. Tuesday, May 6 5 PM (meetup at 4, if you can) Council Chambers, First floor of the Tacoma Municipal Building 747 Market Street Community members are asked to share their opinion on why the King Shelter is a valuable resource and to add the power of numbers to our cause. |
