Poor People's Movement for Shelter, downtown

In case you missed over the weekend, an impromptu homeless shelter was set up in the Artesian Well parking lot. Here's the latest update, from an event posting on Facebook:

"Facing eviction from the City, the Homeless Shelter has taken refuge on State property, at Washington & B Street. We're still up and running. Please stop by and show your support!!"
Photos of the weekend shelter were posted on Occupy Olympia FB Page: Homeless Shelter by Olympia Artesian Well
