Washington, DC - Claiming Your Victory: Saturday, June 20th, 2009 (10:30am)
Joint meeting of the Urban Housing Alliance and the “ACORN 8” will address action to claim YOUR victory. We will meet at the Woodridge Branch Library, 18th & Rhode Island Avenue, NE, Saturday, June 20th (10:30am to 12:00). We will cover three main points at this exciting meeting to help empower you to get results.
Alliance members and neighbors are now challenging high property taxes and DC Mayor Fenty’s efforts to displace renters. We will help you to prepare the “Level 2” appeal form. And, report our recent successes with the DC Council.
We will learn about the heroic, inspiring struggle of the “ACORN 8” to get truth, transparency and accountability. And, we’ll find out how we can work together to empower all of our low and moderate income neighbors.
We will get a roadmap to empower our messages with the broadcast voice of WPFW. Nominations for the station’s board elections are now open. Learn how we can strengthen our community’s voice, build outlets for local talents, and create internship and career opportunities.
Don’t miss this unique chance to turn your vision of uplifting our community into reality. Take solid steps to cut your taxes and preserve affordable, decent housing. Focused, small group sessions will target individual issues.
