Note that Alder Nugent who is one of the most vocal complainers about the encampment is nowhere to be found on building a solution.

If you intend on coming out to the park on Tuesday, Wed or Thurs, please make sure to check in with residents ahead of time about what their individual asks/needs are. Try to arrive early if you can.
Please reach out here, on insta or at parksforall@proton.me if you want to get in touch.

That being said, EVERYONE was on the same page above wanting support and being open to our presence there.
We will check in with residents tomorrow morning to see where they're at to confirm final steps for support on Tues et al.

When we had a group meeting yesterday with almost everyone at Legion, some residents were definitely expressing wanting support with defense. Some were not as sure.
Some still had questions about risk of a**est, etc.

Since this post is getting so much traction we wanted to add this note about our intentions for anyone who wants to come out:
We are not here to tell encampment residents what to do.
