REPORTS AND DISCUSSION

  1. Bud discussed what he called “communication badminton.” He said that if we speak directly to the point and briefly, it is like playing badminton with lightweight shuttlecocks. If we are a bit too longwinded or off topic, it can be more like playing with a baseball, and if we really go off topic, it is a bit like playing with bowling balls. We discussed a little more about facilitating and stacking at a meeting can make it more productive.

An Organized Tent City—Why Not Tacoma?

On August 16, a group of advocates for the unhoused met with a representative from Senator Patty Murray’s office, Kierra Phifer. The advocates, members of the Tent City Tacoma development team and allies from Seattle SHARE/WHEEL came to discuss with Senator Murray’s office the question of homelessness in Tacoma and how an organized tent city (OTC) can provide a partial solution. Liz Falconer made a compelling video about this meeting and the experience of the homeless in Tacoma.
