	"description": "1. Sign the petition for Madrona housing for all today by following the prompts below. Please join us in ensuring that Madrona can grow into vibrant neighborhoods where everyone has a place to call home. Let’s join together as neighbors to tell our City council that we support neighborhoods that are affordable, sustainable and inclusive. The petition below concerns advocacy for supporting housing opportunities in the Madrona neighborhood. 2. Email the following members of City Council about your thoughts on allowing more opportunities for housing in Madrona. You are welcome to use the text of the petition in your email; please personalize this letter as you see fit, including adjusting the content and subject line to support your interests and priorities. Copy and paste these addresses: joy.hollingsworth@seattle.gov, AlexisMercedes.Rinck@seattle.gov, sara.nelson@seattle.gov. They represent: Joy Hollingsworth, D3 and Chair of Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan; Alexis Mercedes Rinck, Position 8/Citywide; and Sara Nelson, Position 9/Citywide respectively. 2. Please consider attending and speaking at upcoming opportunities for public comment. The Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan, made up of all 9 Councilmembers, began meeting on Jan. 6, 2025. The committee is expected to cast final votes on the proposed Comprehensive Plan package in May or June 2025. This includes decisions on retaining the Madrona Neighborhood Center. The next public hearing is at City Hall, February 5th at 5:00 PM. =============================================== Background: We are the workers and voters of the Madrona Neighborhood Center and surrounding areas. We are fighting for a neighborhood that meets all of the needs of our community. State law requires the City of Seattle to develop a new growth strategy, also known as the Comprehensive Plan or One Seattle Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is a roadmap for where and how our city will grow and invest in our communities over the next 20 years and beyond. The plan allows for additional types of housing in neighborhoods that have historically been exclusively or primarily single family zoned. The proposed neighborhood center in Madrona would allow for increased opportunities for affordable and market-rate housing, though the needs of our community demand even greater upzoning. The petition emails City Council member Joy Hollingsworth, who has jurisdiction over District 3 where this Center is located, and is lead for the Select Committee on the Comprehensive Plan; it also emails the two at-large Seattle City Councilmembers, Alexis Mercedes Rinck and Sara Nelson. Anti-housing activists are lobbying elected officials to prevent this needed affordable housing from being allowed in our neighborhoods. Your voice is needed to fight back to affirm our commitment to the values of affordability, sustainability and inclusivity. We need to design a Seattle with all residents in mind and grow to meet the demands of our city. Seattle should be for all of us.",
