Coalition members-

Would anyone be willing to join me at the upcoming North End Neighborhood Council meeting regarding the city’s approach to homelessness? Caleb will be presenting. 

Given the recent acts of violence against campers and hateful rhetoric online from this area, I’m concerned about the direction the meeting could take.

If interested, please reach out.

-Christine
