project is launching this Spring. We are raising funds to build a
wheelchair
accessible bathroom within our multi-movement community space. We’re
also
adding a ramp in the entryway for use during events.</span></span></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><br><span><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;"></span></span><span style="color: black;"></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"><span><span style="font-family: Calibri; color: black;">Achieving a long-standing objective
and working with community input--and in time for our 5th year
anniversary--we
will be expanding our capacity to meet the needs of our sisters and
brothers who
are otherwise excluded. To make this happen, we need architects,
contractors,
plumbers, and community collaborators who can donate their time and
labor. We
are also looking to everyone who meets & organizes in the space to
support
this project, likewise, to the social justice community as a whole. We
would
like to reach out to those directly impacted by accessibility
constraints to
participate in the process, to share their needs and ideas, and to give
feedback along the way</span></span><span style="color: black;">.</span></font></p>
