[Occupymendocino] More on Homeless seniors past or present project

[Tammy Davis]

Hello, my name is Tammy Davis and I live near Caspar on the Mendo Coast. I'm not sure if this fits in somehow with your project, but I am interested in finding people in my community who would like to be part of a multi-generational eco-village that functions by way of a gift economy. There are a number of model projects out there in various forms and that number is growing. One of the main objectives to this local endeavor is that it be all inclusive - with emphasis on offering obtainable housing for those with the greatest need.
If anyone is interested in discussing the opportunities that are possible in such a project, or if you know someone who might be, please let me know.
Namaste,Tammy(707) 962-9059

 If people are identified who will share their stories, we would be honored
to record those interviews for KZYX and possibly wider distribution.

Hey everyone,











Building on the energy from yesterday, we at Justice in Aging are starting


work on a video that will tell a compelling story about how difficult it is


for seniors in the Bay Area to survive on SSI.  We are looking for help


identifying seniors on SSI/SSP who may be willing to share their stories,


especially anyone who is homeless now or has faced homelessness in the


past.  We would like to shoot stories in the first week of February.











We will debut the video at an event in SF we will be holding in early


April where we will also be honoring Assemblymember Thurmond with the


Justice in Aging Impact Award. We hope those of you in the Bay Area will be


able to join us and we’ll be sending more info soon.  The event is our


annual CA fundraiser which will focus on the need for us to act now to


address senior poverty in the Bay Area, California and nationally.  The


video will be about the issue of SSI/SSP and the need to do more to improve


the program, not a promotion of our work.  We hope it will be something we


can use all through the Spring and Summer to assist the coalition efforts


to educate folks and to push for change.











If you can help us out, please reply to me (


kprindiville at justiceinaging.org) and Emma (eayers at justiceinaging.org)


directly.
