If you want to right about me then maybe you should talk to me. I have never gone on a self guided tour and have taken city leaders via police escort! About the only thing you got right was remember the name!!!!! I will not stop until these people get the help they need and the abandoned greenway rehabbed! No one I would associate with would call for the violent removal of people who are physically sick, mentally compromised and suffering from addiction! Many people have died in that camp including two in the last two months. By all means contact me. Lou Wilbanks

REALLY? “Lately, these two groups have called for the violent removal of the unhoused with a specific fixation on ‘reclaiming’ Brookmeade.” I direct you to our mission statement stating since inception:

“We are a grass roots, non-profit, non-partisan organization for the sole purpose of reclaiming Brookemeade Park from the homeless camp so taxpayers from Davidson County can enjoy this beautiful space & the people living there can be compassionately housed & helped.“ I am the founder and have personally met with dozens of current unhoused people to better address their needs with love, compassion and expediency. It’s getting cold and they need help. I’ve continually called for their attention FIRST and the park rehab SECOND. We have never condoned bulldozing or violence. What an irresponsible piece of “journalism”. Next time you wish to report on this, contact me. I’ve made myself available to literally everyone who has asked.
