Here is the Mission Local story about today’s event, with lots of quotes from Faith in Action Bay Area leaders:
Immigrant families scramble for available city shelter: 'It's not OK'

“There is too much pain,” Brenda Cordoba, the executive director of Faith in Action, said in Spanish, about the families.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
What a powerful event we had today in support of the recent immigrant families facing eviction! Over 60 people gathered with less than 24 hours notice—such a beautiful outpouring of support. And it worked!! Right after the press event ended, we got news that the City would give one family shelter beds starting tonight. But the City did not commit to fixing the broken system by opening desperately needed new shelter beds and extending hotel vouchers for all families who need them until shelter beds become available-- so we need to keep organizing!
Qué evento tan poderoso tuvimos hoy en apoyo a las familias inmigrantes recientes que enfrentan el desalojo. Más de 60 personas se reunieron con menos de 24 horas de antelación: una gran muestra de apoyo. ¡¡Y funcionó!! Inmediatamente después de terminar el evento de prensa, recibimos la noticia de que la Ciudad proporcionaria camas de refugio a una familia a partir de esta noche. Pero la ciudad no se comprometió a arreglar el sistema roto. Lo que se necesita es abrir nuevas camas de refugio que se necesitan desesperadamente y extender vales de hotel para todas las familias que los necesiten hasta que haya camas de refugio disponibles, ¡así que debemos seguir organizándonos!
