San Jose Members fight for safety in Hillcrest
18 May 2010
75 ACCE members and members of the Hillview neighborhood of San Jose gathered on Thursday May 13th for a community meeting to make a plan to win improvements in their community.
ACCE members decided to reach out to their city council member, Nora Campos, to ask her to advocate for speed bumps, to slow speeding traffic in their neighborhood, and to fight back against unnecessary budget cuts in their community. San Jose city council members are currently weighing whether to make severe budget cuts which would include: cutting libraries from being open five and a half days a week to three days a week, closing dozens of community centers, severe cutbacks to youth programs and gang prevention programs and laying off hundreds of fire fighters and police officers. ACCE members were concerned that these cuts would have a severe impact on their neighborhoods. ACCE members are planning to attend a May 18th march on City Hall to testify at a City Council Budget Committee hearing against unnecessary cuts and will invite their City Council representative to a meeting within two weeks to request that the city install speed bumps and put a stop to unnecessary cuts.
