Hello.
My name is _____________ and I am a constituent living in _____________.
I am contacting you to express my support for the February 1 letter sent by Los Angeles Community Action Network (LACAN) and Downtown Women’s Action Coalition (D.W.A.C.).
[Brief personal note here about why this is so important to you]
It is essential that Mayor Garcetti responds to and takes meaningful action NOW to meet the demands outlined in the letter:
1. Prioritize immediate housing solutions for unhoused women, specifically prioritizing Black women;
2. Convert all vacant city-owned property into housing that can be used for women and families;
3. Ensure state, local and federal resources, including COVID-19 CARES Act dollars are earmarked to emergency and healthcare services for women;
4. Provide fully maintained water stations, sanitation units and feminine hygiene products in Skid Row immediately;
5. End LAPD homeless outreach and engagement strategies
People are dying every single day that there is no action taken. DO SOMETHING!!!
Best,
[Your Name]
