A Call to Reinvest in South Dallas and the I-345 Vote
Start: Tuesday, May 23, 2023• 7:00 PM
City Council is set to vote on an independent study about I-345 on May 24th, and you can make a huge difference in two ways.
1. The night before the vote, help us flip the future of South Dallas by joining for a night of food, music, and art. Come out to the Southern Classic Daiquiri Factory in the shadow of I-345 starting at 7 PM for what promises to be a special night. Residents of neighborhoods paved over by highways across Dallas will join us as we envision what a future with I-345 replaced. Speaking will be Dallas Civil Rights Legend Peter Johnson, Friendship West Reverend David McGruder, and Dallas Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation Executive Director Jerry Hawkins. Our vision for replacing I-345 is rooted in community, and this is our chance right before the vote to make our voices heard.
2. Sign up to speak and attend the May 24th City Council Meeting. You can't sign up for the 24th until May 18th. It is essential for council to hear us on the actual day of the vote. You will be able to speak either virtually or in-person about I-345. We will update with more info when the agenda for the 24th is posted. RSVP to make sure you get a reminder to sign up to speak!
