Sheraton Hotel Redding - 4 Star Homeless Hatred ?





A noticeable war on the poor and homeless of Redding California has been declared, with brush and tree pockets of known homeless camps being destroyed from one end of town to the other.

Wonderful homeless advocates protested the destruction of Redding California homeless camps on the Sacramento River Trail Community Clean Up Day near the proposed Sheraton Hotel during the worst economic recession since the Great Depression .

Many homeless live in the Turtle Bay , Sundial Bridge, and proposed future rather decadent certainly opulent future Redding Sheraton Hotel area.

And certainly the City of Redding and others are keenly interested in accelerated anticipation and  perceived feverish actions to remove those things necessary to beautify and somehow attract these purveyors of luxury and lavishness only a select few in our community can scarcely afford.

Redding Coalition for the Homeless
 is against practices and laws that unfairly single out homeless people and criminalize them for everyday living and life-sustaining activities.

Families, Children, Veterans, everyone in this poor economy should have a safe place where they can go at night and sleep without fear and their civil and constitutional rights violated. That’s why we need "safe ground ". Redding California needs a safe “legalized” campground where homeless folks can have clean water, bathrooms, and trash services until Redding, Shasta County, and the State of California is willing and able to provide adequate shelters and affordable housing for the growing numbers of homeless folks free of homeless camping tickets, criminalization and evictions.




From the Turtle Bay /  Sheraton Hotel at the Sundial Bridge website we learn " The Sheraton brand is part of the Starwood family of exemplary hotels that also include Westin, Aloft, and Le Méridien."

I am sure hardly comforting to the fury of homeless being displaced with nowhere to go, we would like to remind the Sheraton Hotel folks and the City of Redding folks there is another "family" well worth your consideration literally dying with the bones of  intolerance found scattered across our city limits.

It is the family of man.

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about
this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with some pics to drive the message home a little bit, but
other than that, this is wonderful blog. A great read. I'll certainly be back.
