Sounds good. I would add the 9th District is a Court of Appeals.

Subject: Steering Committee DRAFT talking points to share with the full Coalition during tomorrow’s meeting
Hi everyone,
As you will recall from yesterday’s Steering Committee meeting, during the full Coalition meeting on Friday I will share a small number of simple talking points that Coalition members can use to reach out to their City Council members and the Mayor. I have
revised the list of talking points below to attempt to capture the changes that we discussed yesterday. Please let me know where these need to be altered before I share them with the full Coalition tomorrow:
Talking points to make public comment on the proposed camping ban ordinance:
Here are a series of talking points that you can use when contacting the Mayor, City Manager, and members of the City Council:
-
In light of the Johnson v. Grants Pass ruling issued by the 9th District Court last week, the Council should delay its vote on this ordinance until the potential legal ramifications can
be reviewed.
-
The City should focus on creating solutions to homelessness, including creating low-barrier sites with supportive services and access to basic hygiene needs.
-
Criminalizing homelessness with financial penalties and the threat of jail time will only extend our community’s homelessness crisis.
-
The City should enforce the laws and ordinances that are in place now.

Tacoma/Pierce County Coalition to End Homelessness.
