Thank You, StillHope. The meeting tomorrow is not even an open community meeting. It is a community support meeting. Many of the petitioners do not feel comfortable going to SPACE. Some have been specifically told that they may not attend, and will be removed if they attempt to. The meeting is not being held in a public location in order to be able to exert such control over the voices of dissent. SPACE is soliciting written statements for review, however, I for one am disinclined to hand over my thoughts on the matter to the organization with which I have a grievance. Instead, it is increasingly apparent that the only course of action is to continue working though the various agencies and legal channels available. If SPACE is truly and indispensable community resource, it should not be afraid of the community it claims to serve.
