I support Camp Take Notice, its homeless residents and their search for a permanent home on the AATA bus line! 

 

Camp Take Notice (CTN) is a democratically self-governing tent community providing a refuge of last resort and basic humanitarian aid for Washtenaw County homeless people. The Michigan Itinerant Shelter System: Interdependent Out of Necessity (MISSION) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization partnering with CTN, composed of CTN campers and other community volunteers.  In its three year history, CTN has been forcibly evicted from public land four times and now faces the potential for another eviction. 

 

Because the outcome for CTN is politically driven, please make your voice heard.  Support CTN and its search for a permanent home by signing this petition and by contacting:  (1) State Representative Mark Ouimet at [email protected] and toll free: (855) 627-5052; (2) MDOT Transportation Director Kirk Steudle at [email protected] and (517) 373-2114; (3) E. Spaulding Clark from Scio Township Board of Directors at [email protected]; (4) Rob Turner from Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners (CTN's district) at [email protected]

Washtenaw county can do better than this. Stop the evictions and help these folks find a real place to settle.

I really hope someone listens. Moving them over and over again is just cruel and solves nothing.

Living on bus lines is standard for people without cars. Let them stay put so they can actually get to work or appointments.

These people are trying to better themselves and they need a stable place to start. Stop chasing them away like they are criminals.

Its heartless to keep evicting them. CTN does so much good for the community.
