GTT Launches Coalition on Homelessness and Basic Needs Campaign. Come out this Thursday 10/8!
We are excited about our third community meeting on homelessness scheduled for this Thursday, October 8th at 6 pm at 655 W. Broadway, Suite 1900 in downtown San Diego.
At our last meeting, a diverse group of stakeholders came together around one table and decided to form the Girls Think Tank Coalition on Homelessness and to start a citywide campaign for short-term needs of water and toilets and longer-term sustainable solutions.
This Thursday, we will continue planning a campaign for changing the way we are approaching homelessness in San Diego. Our fabulous board member Jen Lai brought in Jun Chong, a highly-respected and well-accomplished community organizer who has worked extensively in poor communities and knows how to build campaigns. Jun will be attending the meeting with the aim of assisting with strategy and developing a work plan.
We hope you can make it! It is going to be an exciting dialogue. Please let us know you’re coming so that we will make sure to have enough pizza by emailing us at girlsthinktank@gmail.com. See you there!!
