Rally for Randall
On Nov. 3, Mayor Williams plans to close DC's Randall Shelter (65 I St. SW), which provides beds for 170 homeless men each night, in anticipation of the pending sale of the building to the Corcoran Gallery of Art. If it closes, there will be no shelter for homeless men in Southwest Washington this winter.
Join Randall residents and Coalition of Housing & Homeless Organizations at a rally and public hearing on Friday, Oct. 29. Let your voice be heard at the rally – which begins at 1:30 p.m. at Freedom Plaza (13th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW) – and at a DC council subcommittee hearing to determine whether the Randall building is no longer needed for public use – which starts at 2 p.m. at 1350 Pennsylvania Ave. NW (Council Chambers, 5th Floor).
DC Metro Action is published by Michael Schlesinger, a 32-year veteran of electoral and issue organizing who is committed to social justice and to increasing participation in the political process.
