Cross-posted from OFF the STREATS Come join the

SHARC Attack At Wilson Building on Monday, June 13th

Help ensure that much-needed Human Services funding is restored to the DC budget.

The group of mostly homeless homeless advocates who’ve been meeting at the CCNV (Community for Creative Non-Violence) Shelter every week since April 26th, 2011 for Shelter, Housing, and Real Change (SHARC) will make a final push on Monday, June 13th to ensure that funds which Mayor Vincent Gray sought to take away from Human Services is restored by the DC Council.

We will impress upon the DC Council the need to go beyond simply funding shelters and to ensure the continual creation of AFFORDABLE HOUSING across the city as well as LIVING WAGE and other policies that will empower the poor community and enable them to become self-sufficient.

WE WILL NO LONGER SIMPLY ORGANIZE FOR SHORT-TERM GOALS LIKE SAVING SHELTERS AND RESTORING FUNDING FOR SERVICES THAT MAINTAIN HOMELESSNESS.

WE WILL DEMAND THE CONTINUAL CREATION OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING ACROSS THE CITY AND THE REALIZATION OF HOUSING AS A HUMAN RIGHT!!!!!

People who DEMAND

“Shelter, Housing And Real Change”

will meet at:

The CCNV Shelter 425 2nd Street NW, Washington, DC

Nearest Metro station: Judiciary Square (Red line) Buses: D6 and D3

Monday, June 13th 11 AM To march to the Wilson Building at 1350 Pennsylvania ave. NW

Feel free to bring signs with you. Or you can make signs from 10 to 11 AM.

SCHEDULE We will begin to gather at CCNV at 10 AM, march at 11, arrive at City Hall by 11:30, speak to councilmembers and their staff until 12:30 PM, and have regular 1 PM meeting at CCNV.
