APRI-Tacoma Monthly Meeting , June 19, 2025 6 pm 〰️
Save the 19th St. Light Rail Link!
A Critical Decision Affecting Our Community Is Being Made, and Your Voice Matters!.
The City Council is holding a public hearing on land use in the One Tacoma Plan. This directly affects light rail decisions. So the 19th Street Light Rail Link is again at risk. We need YOU to stand up and fight for it! This vital link connects the Hilltop to:
Health and Human Services
Social Services
Shopping and Recreational Options
TACID (Developmental Disabilities Center)
Tacoma Community College (TCC)
This is a Racial, Economic and Social Justice Issue! The 19th St. link connects the Hilltop MLK light rail to essential resources all the way down 19th to TCC. We must ensure this vital connection remains.
The City Council notice of the meeting can be found here.
You can submit written comments UNTIL 5 PM Monday, 6/2, here.
You can also attend the meeting virtually here.
The mention of 19th Street that we are trying to preserve is found on page 15 of the attached study document.
Date: Next Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025
Time: 5:00 PM
Location: Council Chambers, 747 Market St.

… no reserved seats.
“At the banquet table of nature, there are no reserved seats. You get what you can take, and you keep what you can hold. If you can't take anything, you won't get anything, and if you can't hold anything, you won't keep anything. And you can't take anything without organization.”
―A. Philip Randolph
