PEEP's Visit to Dignity Village |
|
Latest News
|
|
PEEPs, the Portland Environmental Engagement Program went to Dignity Village for a day to learn about homelessness in our community. When we visited we helped pull nails from wood that will be reused to build houses, and we painted the donation center. We worked side by side with the residents and had a great time learning and goofing around. We wish all the people at Dignity Village the best of luck, and we hope to see them again soon!

On December 16th of the year 2000, a group of eight homeless men and women pitched five tents on public land and Camp Dignity, later to become Dignity Village, was born. We came out of the doorways of Portland's streets, out from under the bridges, from under the bushes of public parks, we came openly with nothing and no longer a need to hide as Portland's inhumane and Draconian camping ban had just been overturned on two constitutional grounds. We came armed with a vision of a better future for ourselves and for all of Portland, a vision of a green, sustainable urban village where we can live in peace and improve not only the condition of our own lives but the quality of life in Portland in general. We came in from the cold of a December day and we refuse to go back to the way things were.

Tom Potter and City Repair are asking Portland citizens for their ideas, opinions and visions on how we could solve problems, and build sound communities. “Dignity Village” salute’s City Repair and Mayor Potter for this incredible grassroots endeavor to hear from the people. Also we would like to mention you should experience the “Tea Horse” it is “poetry in motion” and something you shouldn’t miss. http://www.cityrepair.org
