Help Tent City 3 during the holidays
Our continued thanks go out to Lakeridge Lutheran Church, for their amazingly generous and quick response in opening their hearts and their parking lot to Tent City 3 earlier this month! They are hosting TC3 through February, and you can help make the holidays a little brighter for our neighbors who are living in tents. An Amazon Wishlist can be found at the following link, as well as ways to sign up to bring a meal to the group. Check out http://www.sharewheel.org/tent-city-3 for more information!

Film: TRICKLE DOWN TOWN
(113 minutes; Tomasz Biernacki, 2018)
Friday, Jan. 4; Doors open at 6:30pm; Movie starts at 7:00pm
@ Keystone UCC (downstairs in Battson Hall)
This new film from a Seattle filmmaker, who will attend our screening, takes an up-close look at homelessness in Seattle. There are in-depth interviews with homeless people and visits to local homeless camps, including Camp Second Chance in West Seattle. Also shown are people who are working hard to help their homeless neighbors.
The filmmaker, Tomasz Biernacki, says, “I have discovered that most people have uneducated, knee-jerk reactions and false beliefs . . . about the homeless. They see the tents, the RVs, the addicted people who have untreated mental and physical health issues, and instead of doing something to help their neighbors, they degrade, cast away, and add insult to injury. I want people to see that there are concrete, simple steps people can take every day to help the situation. It’s going to have to be a grassroots effort.”
The filmmaker will attend the screening and answer questions afterward.
Special Guests: Filmmaker Tomasz Biernacki
** All events are Open to the Public. Doors open at 6:30pm for snacks and conversation. Admission is FREE with $5 suggested donation to cover expenses **
We help communities organize, educate, advocate & build community around social justice documentary film and conversation.
