A MESSAGE FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Watch this message from Dena Stanley. Executive Director of TransYOUniting.
Thank you to everyone who showed up this morning and spoke before Pittsburgh City Council to KEEP ROOTS OPEN.
Today was only the beginning.
Closing ROOTS will not simply close a building. It will take away a lifeline from people who depend on it for survival.
ROOTS provides access to warmth. Water. Mail. Identification. Housing support. Health care connections. Crisis support. Trusted case managers. A safe place to go.
Taking that away as winter approaches puts lives at risk. The consequences could be deadly.
We need more community members to stand up and make it clear that Pittsburgh cannot allow this to happen.
The next opportunities to speak are:
Tuesday October 6 at 10 AM
Regular Council Meeting
Wednesday October 7 at 10 AM
Standing Committees Meeting
You can attend in person or register to speak through Zoom. Registration closes at 9 AM on the morning of each meeting.
Please sign up. Please share this video. Please bring someone with you. We need people from the North Side and across Pittsburgh standing with us.

Then wander over to the QMNTY Craft Faire — same time, same vibe. $5 donation or Closet/Pantry item appreciated.
Local TLGBQ & homeless artists, community joy, and support for the QMNTY Continuum all in one place.
What began with 13 meals prepared in our founder’s kitchen has grown into a decade of community, dignity and chosen family. 💛
