DESCRIPTION:East Oakland Community Town Hall\n\nA neighborhood dialogue on real 
 solutions to homelessness\n\nWhen: Saturday, Feb 28 at 10am\n\nWhere: Las 
 Palmas Event Center (9319 Railroad Ave, Oakland 94603)\n\nCommunity members 
 are invited to join a town hall to discuss real solutions to the 
 homelessness crisis in Oakland. \n\nSponsored by the Housing and Dignity 
 Project, the event will bring together organizers—many with lived 
 experience on the street—with policy advocates, community accountability 
 organizations and an architect to discuss how to build low-cost sanctuary 
 communities that will reduce the misery of living on the street.\n\nThe 
 morning will be a refreshing change, acknowledging the fact that the people 
 who have survived, some for as long as 14 years, have a wealth of 
 knowledge, experience, wisdom, compassion and viable solutions. 
 Policymakers who are ready to follow the lead of the people, especially 
 those first and worst hurt by policy violence, is what democracy looks 
 like.\n\nOakland Mayor Barbara Lee offers hope that under her 
 administration that the city will take a new approach. “I think we have 
 to approach this in a way that’s practical, but also that values the 
 human dignity of people living on the streets or in RVs,” the mayor said 
 in an East Bay Times article.\n\nJohn Janosko, an organizer who used to be 
 homeless and is part of the Housing and Dignity Project: “It’s amazing 
 she’s saying this. That’s what we’ve been yelling for the last four, 
 five years.”\n\nSpanish interpretation, childcare and light refreshments 
 will be provided. \n\nRSVP or questions: (510) 250-7263.\n
