Neighborhoods
More than 300 Justice United delegates from active congregations, associations, and neighborhoods operating in Orange County will gather to advance and celebrate public agreements with elected and private leaders.
Agenda also includes the kick off of our new county-wide listening campaign that will involve hundreds of Orange County residents with the goal of generating a new Justice United agenda for 2011.
Date:
Thursday, December 9, 2010 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm

Binkley Baptist Church, 1712 Willow St, Chapel Hill
It may be hard to think of a tax increase as "justice," but Orange County has an example of just that in its proposal on the November ballot to raise the sales tax by one-quarter cent. A portion of the revenue if this wins approval will go toward providing a solution for Habitat for Humanity homeowners in Efland (many of whose homes were built by our member churches), who have been facing a 300 percent increase in their sewer rates. Justice United agrees that this tax increase, which means paying 25 cents more per every $100 you spend, equals social justice.
We will gather at 9:30am at United Church. After a brief press conference with our partner groups, we will walk over to the Seymour Center to cast our votes.

I'm a big supporter of the IFC and its mission. And I support its desire to create a new type of facility, a transitional facility for homeless men and the need to relocate somewhere. And I'm disappointed that there is opposition to the proposed site for that new facility. But I also think that the dialogue has gone beyond civility and that the neighborhoods adjoining the proposed site are being unfairly demonized. In the 12 years I have served on Town advisory boards I have seen many neighborhoods oppose many projects for many different reasons - some good, some bad, some rational, some irrational.
