Emily Delgado+FollowBirmingham’s micro-shelters offer hope and a fresh startTiny homes are popping up in Birmingham, and they’re about to change lives. Faith Chapel Church and the city are teaming up to finish micro-shelters for men experiencing homelessness—each one built in under two hours, complete with electricity, heat, and soon, a cozy bed and desk.

Help folks move from surviving to thriving, with real pathways to permanent homes. What do you think—could this model work in other neighborhoods too? #Safety #Birmingham #CommunitySupport00Share

Sabrina Carrillo+FollowWhy Amazon’s Eugene plan matters for everyoneAmazon’s proposed warehouse near Eugene Airport isn’t just about a big building—it’s about the future of city services we all rely on. With Eugene’s budget stretched thin, new tax revenue from Amazon could help keep libraries open, pools running, and public safety funded. Sure, there are concerns about jobs, automation, and traffic, but the alternative is an empty field and more cuts to the services that make Eugene livable. It’s a tough call: do we accept Amazon’s impact for the sake of our community’s needs, or hold out for something better that may never come? What do you think Eugene should prioritize? #Safety #Eugene #Amazon00Share
