As many of you know, the Girls Think Tank has teamed up with several individuals and groups to form a Coalition on Homelessness in San Diego. Our current goal is to get public restrooms and water fountains downtown. Many of us take for granted these simple necessities that are present in our daily lives; however, if you take a look around you’ll notice that San Diego is a ‘world city’ that lacks these basic facilities that so many other places maintain.
As such, the Coalition has drafted a resolution to recognize access to drinking water and bathrooms as a fundamental human right. From the resolution, we have generated a petition to be signed by any San Diego resident.
Our goal for the petition is to collect 5,000 SIGNATURES BY APRIL 10, 2010. We will then present the signatures to the San Diego City Council, and educate them as to how many San Diegans feel strongly about this issue.

Having public restrooms more readily available will improve the beauty, cleanliness and quality of life in San Diego. Less smell of urine on the streets and sidewalks? Now that sounds like a great idea. Plus, nobody should have to search and search for a place to use the restroom or get a drink of water. Providing a place that allows the homeless a little dignity and privacy when they need to use the restroom would also boost their self-esteem and help them maintain a better standard of cleanliness and self-respect, which would be huge in getting them back on their feet. Let’s bring San Diego up to speed on this and get this done.
