Women Occupy San Diego
Oct 4, 2017
FINALLY! "A campground for homeless people in San Diego is set to open as early as next week, with 200 new tents set up in a city-owned parking lot at 20th and B Streets near downtown ... 'The first key is that people will be safe,' McElroy said. 'And they’ll have access to showers and bathroom facilities and handwashing facilities and all of our mobile medical teams will be there' ... 'We’ll have a shuttle system,' he added. 'We’re working on the logistics of that right now. We don’t want people walking through neighborhoods' ... People will also be allowed to bring their pets, he said... Priority to the campground will be given to the most at risk people, including seniors and disabled, as well as mothers and children, he said." 200 is a start, but NOT enough. There are over 1000 Unsheltered San Diegans in Downtown. As several of us have pointed out since June, the vulnerable people rightly prioritized for this campground will NOT be safe in the 3 Megatents set to start opening in 3 months -- which are now going to house 1000, rather than the 300 announced by the Mayor last month? Keep Up the Pressure -- it's WORKING! If you haven't already, please Sign this Petition for SafeCamp AND SafePark villages in a section of Qualcomm/SDCCU Stadium's huge parking lot to provide a Safe Place for Every San Diegan to Live, until we can get them into permanent housing. And/Or SHARE it! THANK YOU
