Homelessness on the Agenda - Will Berkeley Change Its Tune?
Tuesday night, 12/13/16, the Berkeley City Council meets. Tent cities, a moratorium on the raids, tiny homes development, and getting rid of some anti homeless laws are on the agenda.
The DBA (downtown business association) is actively organizing against these items. Why is the DBA against human rights? Why do the property owners think they have a say in a persons ability to shelter themselves? (because they only want people in town who can afford these sky high real estate prices) The DBA is privatized taxation without representation (businesses and taxpayers get charged), but only property owners have a say.
We are asking for people to show up at 6pm, old city hall on MLK in Berkeley. We need to stand up to the DBA. We need to stand up for human rights. We need to stand up for those whom the system is torturing and killing.
Let the homeless shelter themselves!
