UCC News
The current UCC News takes a detailed look at support for Tent Village. Here are a few excerpts:

"Lake City Christian Church overwhelmingly supported the proposal to provide hospitality to the homeless community known as Tent Village ... for a six week period, with Tent Village moving on at the end of June.

"Tent Village residents are part of the more than 2,500 people who sleep outside in Seattle after EVERY indoor shelter bed is full.

"Share/Wheel operates 9 other shelters in the Seattle area - all the others are indoors in churches. It costs $40,000 a year to run Tent City."

"Contributions can be mailed to SHARE/WHEEL, P.O. Box 2548, Seattle, WA 98111."

"Every Sunday Night UCC welcomes Teen Shelter and Teen Feed to our lower lounge."

update: Crisis Resource Directory
The Peace Heathens' street-level guide.
"In the last 10 weeks, we've completely fact-checked our Crisis Resource Directory (also reachable at http://www.seattlecrisis.org), which we believe is a singularly valuable resource for people in Seattle. It covers topics ranging from 12-step groups to minor home repair, from sexual minority resources to free haircuts for the homeless. This is an entirely volunteer effort. We plan to have a pamphlet version of this out some time this spring (this will be our fifth edition: we've distributed over 21,000 such pamphlets in the past), but the web site is far more comprehensive than what we can fit on 40 paper pages." - Joe Mabel

new: Seattle Residents for Fair School Lighting
(This didn't get listed on our menus when it started last year.)
"If approved, instead of 35-foot sports lights, 100-foot tall lights will become the legally allowed use on any school athletic field anywhere in the city. ... This is a dramatic change in the Zoning Code that will render current residential zoning meaningless. ... This proposed change is part of the Joint Use Agreement between Seattle Schools and Seattle Parks to develop School fields and rent them to Parks until 10:30 each night for use by sports leagues, co-recreational teams, and others. Many of the currently proposed field upgrades include public address (PA) loud-speaker systems."
