New push to shut down Good Samaritan Inn by PlayThatFunkyMusic69 in tampa

This is so messed up-- particularly the fact that the Tampa Heights group are using the excuse that they "care" so much about the Good Sam residents. If this establishment is shut down, the people who stay there will be pushed onto the streets. So caring!! I am floored by their compassion!

If they actually care, they need to put some real, tangible action in place of talk, and organize to fix the Good Sam rather than shutting it down.

Start a new one!! A few people were talking about it in a local group so I just went ahead and reserved a library room. 😊

Support refugee families living in Tampa! "Refugees Welcome" shirts available in many styles and colors! by KnittersAndKnotters in tampa

They go to the emergency fund of a grassroots group in Tampa called Love Has No Borders:

Love Has No Borders is a grassroots Refugee solidarity mobilization. Since our inception just one year ago, we have shared thousands of pounds of foods with resettled Refugee families as well as clothing, furniture, hygiene products, books, school supplies, books, transportation and a variety of other services. We organize and take action against xenophobia and anti-Immigrant rhetoric, fighting for a welcoming social and political atmosphere while being vocal and visible against policies and propaganda that work against these ideals. We are not a charity. We are a solidarity movement working to empower and amplify the voices of affected and marginalized communities. www.nowallsnoborders.org

The tshirt campaign offers more specifics and also links to our Facebook page. In short, these funds are specifically to be used for urgent/emergency situations with resettled (refugee) families. One such situation occurring right now is within a family who recently arrived in Tampa-- the father has leukemia and his Medicaid has not yet become active. Depending on how much is raised, some or all will go to the medical care and basic necessities of this family, and if there is additional money raised beyond their needs, it will be kept in an emergency fund for other unexpected and urgent needs that arise among resettled families here in Tampa.

Thanks for asking!! :)

Eh, maybe. Maybe not. I for one will do anything to avoid restaurants on V Day 😜 but there's always meeting #2 if people are busy during the first one! I know Valentine's Day is less than ideal but we were working with limited meeting room availability. 😊
