Save Gales! Protest Rally
Mayor Williams plans to close the Gales Shelter on April 1. On top of that, DC will lose an additional 582 beds at other hypothermia shelters by April 1. This winter, DC shelters reported full and over-full conditions. Where will these people now go?
Come support the 150 residents of Gales Shelter and demonstrate for the right to housing. Join the residents at a rally organized by the DC Coalition of Housing and Homeless Organizations on Thursday, March 18, at 9:30 a.m., outside the John Wilson Building (1350 Pennsylvania Ave. NW). For more information, call 202/234-6855, ext. 20.
