 I would agree with this comment because it is hard to balance both. I think you brought up some really good points Martha.

While I might agree with his viewpoints, I have a problem when we want to antagonize the other side by using words like “repugnant” and goading them into doing something right.   I find the best way to make change is set the example, which Tacoma (and our coalition_  has done, and continue to listen to their frustrations and try to offer “a space between” where both sides are heard and acknowledged.

 

This type of writing doesn’t make that easy.

Good Morning,

 

Matt Driscoll writes a good piece on Puyallup’s response to homelessness. I felt like this was worth sharing to our group given what we are trying to accomplish, have a blessed day.
