Dear Readers,
Break out the chains and your copies of "We Shall Overcome"! It is time to affix yourself to the nearest Metro bus.
That was the consensus of the March 19th community meeting held to share information about the proposed development of the Metro "common" and discuss what the city's next step should be in opposing it.
A large number of people attended, many of them activists who have been working on the issue for the last ten years. Not least of them were the city councilmembers, mayor, and staff (and former mayor Cathy Porter who also attended) who over the last decade have passed six resolutions, buttonholed every politician with an ounce of influence over WMATA, testified at numerous meetings, written stacks of letters, and otherwise put many hours of effort into opposing the development.
