Protest Against Planned Main Street Homeless Shelter in Ward 8 MOVES FORWARD!
Main Street Homeless Shelter in Ward 8 Moves FORWARD
WE ARE ORGANIZED. WE ARE UNITED.
Williams says “Ward 8 residents have been speaking out loud and clear since the announcement of this rally and we, as a community, are prepared to let our voices be heard. Tomorrow's rally is in protest to the oversaturation of homeless shelters and social services that attract hundreds from outside of our Ward. It is in protest of Calvary's blatant disregard and disrespect of the leadership of our neighborhoods, specifically our ANC Commissioners and Civic Leaders. And it is in protest of our current Councilmember's willingness to continue to allow and support such programs that take away from the improvement and progression of our Ward. These are unwanted additions to our Ward in general, and to the Anacostia community specifically. At this hour, there is no room for compromise. There is no middle ground. We are organized. We are standing united. Enough is enough!"GUEST SPEAKERS INCLUDE:Natalie Williams, Candidate for Ward 8 City Council Anthony Muhammad, Chairman, ANC 8A Greta Fuller, ANC8A03 (Invited) Graylin Presbury, President, Fairlawn Civic Association Frederick Douglass Improvement Council (Representative) Darrin Davis, Resident and Business Owner, Anacostia River Realty
