TAKE ACTION NOW!
These are your neighborhoods, these are your homes...
It's up to us to fight for right-sized, appropriate facilities
for our homeless! Being quiet is NOT an option.

1. Contact your representatives to tell them that you are OPPOSED to this move by Wayside:

David Tandy is a friend of the Original Highlands! Rob Haynes, on behalf of Councilman David Tandy: "Councilman Tandy would not have supported that agreement had he known of your intentions to consider the Mercy Academy Campus. His understanding was that you were going to expand on your current location at Jefferson Street. Please reconsider your interest in the Mercy Campus."

Tom Owen is a friend of the Original Highlands! Tom Owen: "If it means consolidation of their operations at the Mercy Academy site, I am unequivocally opposed."
