There is a huge rally planned for tonight at 6PM at Culver City Hall. There will be protesters to fight against a $20 million dollar grant that Culver City is planning to pass in their budget tonight at their regular council meeting. The grant is to a private company who wants to build a low income housing unit, but it’s on a church’s land and the church is getting 13.5 million in a leaseback deal, and building an entire new facility! This has been an ongoing issue in Culver City, but it’s coming to a head as the vote is tonight.
The biggest issue is that a few meetings ago Culver City declared a “Fiscal Emergency” and is planning to raise city sales taxes, While at the same time adding this grant with money that the city doesn’t have and is planing to use Culver City emergency funds for this project. There is also a petition with close to 1000 signatures on it. https://form.jotform.com/251495947834169
Please let me know if there are any questions. Happy to help as I’m the organizer and creator of the SAY NO TO JUBILO event tonight. https://nextdoor.com/local_events/7nRw6cWgnq8q
