Religious leaders and young people will present the letter and list of signers on Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 6 p.m., Berkeley Old City Hall, 2134 MLK Jr. Way.
Young artists from Youth Spirit Artworks will join with religious leaders and build a youth center out of plywood, covered with youth art, representing the dream of a center for homeless youth in Berkeley! We will also demand that a homeless youth day-time program be immediately funded by the City.
