Demands to the City of Vallejo
From The Vallejo Homeless Union
My name is Kathleen McNeil. I am a founding member and Mutual Aid Officer of the Vallejo Homeless Union. I am also a second generation Vallejoan.
Today we ask that you join us in demanding the City of Vallejo:
Stop the homeless sweeps
Stop indiscriminately moving us around
Stop killing us
We have real problems, we need real solutions. We have real solutions.
The City of Vallejo needs to hold their staff accountable. The City of Vallejo needs to investigate the accusation made in Christina Lee's lawsuit:
Did Natalie Peterson delete text messages about housing and homelessness?
Did she, in fact, falsify HUD documents?
The City of Vallejo needs to release all records of the sweep that killed James Oakley.
The City of Vallejo needs to provide basic services to homeless encampments.
We need dumpsters
We need pest control
We need safety from people who target us
We need the City of Vallejo to stop people who are illegally dumping at homeless encampments. We aren't any different from housed people in that respect - no one wants to live in a trash pile.
We need somewhere to go.
We want to work with the City of Vallejo to end homelessness in Vallejo.
Will the city of Vallejo work with us? Give us a seat at the table. You cannot solve these problems without our input and our help.
