SUMMARY:Defeat Ordinance 28756 Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:TTOC and our Community Allies plan to demonstrate against TacomaSafe’s PR kickoff for their support of proposed Ordinance 28756\, camping ban in the City of Tacoma. We oppose this ordinance because it criminalizes the unhoused for engaging in life-sustaining activities. Camping bans are costly and ineffective strategies violating the constitutional rights of the unhoused. \nTenants Organizing Committee (TTOC) advocates for housing first as the most effective means of alleviating homelessness. TTOC prioritizes tenants’ rights and homelessness prevention through advocacy and education. TTOC also prioritizes the needs and rights of our unhoused neighbors.  Food\, shelter\, clothing\, and warmth are the basics each human being needs. We believe that housing is a human right and that treating all humans with dignity regardless of their housing status is our moral imperative. \nPassage and enforcement of Ordinance 28756 will accomplish the following: \n\nCreates an expensive pipeline from homelessness to incarceration.\nSends unhoused people to jail and imposes fines\, which creates more barriers to securing housing.\nCompels the Tacoma Police Department to make arrests which further divides our community.\nHides the plight of homelessness rather than focusing on solving it.\nCreates no additional opportunities for substance abuse and mental health treatment\, as falsely promoted by TacomaSafe.\nViolates unhoused people’s constitutional rights to survive granted by the 8th Amendment and upheld by the Martin v. Boise Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling.\nViolates the City of Tacoma’s efforts towards providing equitable and inclusive governance.\nContradicts the recommendations published in the 2021 paid study analyzing the TPD response to homelessness.\n\n“Housing is a human right. There can be no fairness or justice in a society in which some live in homelessness\, or in the shadow of that risk\, while others cannot even imagine it.” ~ Jordan Flaherty

SUMMARY:TTOC Meeting
DESCRIPTION:We are meeting Monday Jan 14th at 530 pm to talk about the statewide campaign for tenant protections\, including review of the mission\, vision\, values of a coalition we’ve been invited to participate in. Attached is a draft of that. I will have updates after a meeting with these folks on Thursday in Seattle. The second page of the document is a draft from the Pierce County Democrats\, which was created with input from us. So we could also review that. Along with the WLIHA priorities: https://www.wliha.org/sites/default/files/Lead%20Agenda%202019%20Draft%206%20Nov%2020.pdf\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDraft agenda for Monday:\n\n1. What tenant rights and protections do we want to see at the state level? What is our platform for housing justice?\n\n2. What will a grassroots campaign to push for these things look like? How can we get more Tacoma tenants involved and build our movement?\n\n3. How will we participate in coalition with groups across the state (Tenants Union\, WA Community Action Network\, WA Low Income Housing Alliance\, Democratic Socialists of America\, etc)?\n\n4. Concrete next steps\, including how we introduce this statewide campaign at a public meeting (hopefully happening Jan 23\, depending on room availability)
