FOR THE TENANT BILL OF RIGHTS

by | Sep 5, 2023 | Events

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 11AM

People’s Park

On Saturday, September 9, Tacoma For All is officially taking it back to the streets. Our most important event yet starts with a fun and empowering rally at People’s Park, then going out to meet voters, collect their stories, and remind landlords and their supporters on city council how deeply folks across Tacoma support our Tenant Bill of Rights.

The rally starts at 11:00am with inspiring speeches from T4A coalition partners and campaign leaders, along with some music, chants and story collection. We’ll then group attendees with trained canvas captains and hit the doors in Hilltop and beyond.

Tacoma For All will provide materials and support. All you have to do is show up excited and in a good pair of walking shoes if you plan on canvassing. Please register at www.bit.ly/t4arally.

Background on the mega warehouse:

The City of Tacoma permitted a 2.5 million square foot warehouse in South Tacoma for Bridge Point LLC. This mega warehouse could mean up to 12,000 vehicle trips per day through neighborhoods that already experience higher levels of pollution and serious health impacts.

Over 100 acres of greenspace above an aquifer recharge zone will be paved, potentially causing long term damage to our water supply, less tree canopy and displacement of wildlife. There is also concern that the type of jobs typically associated with large warehouses will not be union or living wage positions.

City of Tacoma gave this project a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance, which is being appealed by 350 Tacoma and the South Tacoma Neighborhood Council. The City has also failed to conduct a Health Impact assessment.

When: 9/26 ~5-7 pm
950 Pacific Avenue,Tacoma, WA 98402

Join folks in Tacoma for a public demonstation against nuclear weapons, and for the policies that will better the lives of everyday Americans.

People from around Washington state are coming together to say no to the $2 trillion dollar nuclear weapons enhancement plan.

As the state that is home to Hanford, the irradiated production site of the first nuclear warhead materials and Bangor-Trident, the site of more deployed nuclear weapons than anywhere else in the country, we must speak out. More importantly, we must demand that our members of Congress speak out and vote accordingly.

National Defense Authorization Act negotiations are expected to continue through September.
