The City Council will likely vote on this legislation at 9:30 am on the 14th. 6 COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE CURRENTLY GOING TO VOTE YES for allowing our homelessness neighbors to camp in our parks. THIS LEGISLATION CANNOT PASS! Our homeless neighbors need homes not parks.
...If you cannot join us, Please Email or Call Every Day.
Here is a sample email:
Dear Seattle City Council Members:
Council Bill 118794 is not a solution to remedy unsafe conditions and protect the rights of homeless individuals. It will introduce far more problems than it solves and distract from the real work at hand.
Please do not authorize camping in our public spaces, greenways and parks.
Please:
1) Vote NO on Council Bill 118794
2) Use the budget process for the 2017-2018 budget to support the Pathways Home Initiative Priority Actions
3) Utilize existing laws and policies to reduce the need for sweeps, give advance notice if sweeps are required, and improve inter-agency coordination in assisting homeless individuals (make shelters safe, clean and accessible)
Sincerely,
Your Name, Your Neighborhood
PLEASE EMAIL & CALL ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS & MAYOR ED MURRAY EVERY DAY!!!!
