With a Press Conference/Speak-Out at the Police Station focusing on Harassment of Vehicular Residents planned for 1:30 PM Thursday January 10th, Conscience and Action members are invited (as well as any members of the public).
RV survivor Alicia says she again will be there along with other RV residents with concerns to bring to the community and Chief Andy Mills’ attention. Alicia and her family (a husband and 3 children) report pressured harassment to “move along” at along Woodrow Ave. much earlier than the 72-hour deadline for parking.
