Why is this important?
PETITION BACKGROUND
We believe that it's possible to remove the majority of the homeless off the streets of Sunland Tujunga and into a safe environment by using Camp 15. We believe that using the abandoned camp will incur a minimal amount of cost to the private & public sector. It is our hope that this petition will generate enough interest to create a safe haven for those of us who have lost our homes. Of the 60-plus homeless we've spoken with, all would be willing to volunteer their time & energy to make this a reality. The local churches and service organizations could help in job training and counseling services.
Recently there have been numerous threats & various acts of vandalism against us. When we try to report it, nothing happens.
We believe the time has come for our political leaders and community leaders to band together to help, not persecute, them, as is now happening with LAPD'S DAILY HARRASSMENT. THE HOMELESS OF SUNLAND-TUJUNGA ARE CURRENTLY BEING STALKED BY A UNIFORMED VIGiLANTE GROUP.
WE ARE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMUNITY & WE DEMAND TO BE TREATED AS SUCH. Many of us actually feel as though we're living in pre-WW 2 Germany. It's like being one step away from the concentration camps. Hear our plea, with over 150 homeless just in Sunland-Tujunga and the camp sitting idle for over 10 years, this is a viable solution.
We thank you for your time. Hopefully you'll find it in your heart to sign this, and send a message to our local leaders. You don't have to be a resident, just someone who cares about people
