DESCRIPTION:HAWG, Homeless Advocacy Working Group, is hosting an evening to bring 
 together & flush out neighborhood based, autonomous, and compassionate 
 community responses to The Town's homeless EMERGENCY.\n\nIf you are an 
 organization, individual or faith based group that advocates, serves or 
 lobbys to support/prevent/decriminalize/address homelessness: lets come 
 together across Oakland to solve this homeless state of emergency. Lets 
 connect the dots between the housing crisis, the job crisis and the 
 homeless crisis. Its gonna take the people of The Town to solve this 
 humanitarian crisis.\n\nPlease invite folks you know who are engaged in the 
 work already or who are passionate about preventing and ending 
 homelessness.\n\nPlease invite folks who have been homeless, who are 
 currently homeless, who are at risk if becoming homeless. Their voices, 
 experiences and needs are central to this 
 discussion.\n\n#HousingIsAHumanRight #HomesForAll 
 #HomelessnessIsNotACrime\n\n\nIt is the mission of the Homeless Advocacy 
 Working Group to assist human beings sleeping in the street, in vehicles, 
 in the open, and in unsafe shelters. HAWG insists unconditionally, that 
 "Housing is a Human Right" and demands that all persons have a right to 
 exist and be housed irrespective of race, shelter, economic or other 
 marginalized status, and must be treated with courtesy, dignity and 
 respect.\n\nHAWG was created after members and supporters of The Village in 
 Oakland/#FeedThePeople stormed city hall while the village was bulldozed by 
 the city administration for $75,000 in Feb 2017. Since then, HAWG has 
 tirelessly and successfully advocated for budgets, policies and practices 
 that ensure housing is a human right and that homeless folks are no longer 
 treated criminals or problems, but rather Oakland's most vulnerable 
 population in need of support, services and pathways to permanent 
 housing.\n\nHAWG meets every 2nd and 4th Monday at city hall from 4-6pm. 
 Meetings are open to any and all who seek to provide dignified and humane 
 solutions to the homeless state of emergency.\n
