The Eggrolls, Part 2

We followed up with "The Eggrolls," who you might remember from our conversation with them last summer. They are a mutual aid group based out of ChuMinh Tofu in Little Saigon, located in the eastern side of the CID. The Eggrolls and ChuMinh Tofu restaurant have continued to serve 150-200 free meals outside of the restaurant every Sunday to homeless and elder members of the Little Saigon community. While providing basic resources to the community around them, they also get a glimpse as to how policing in that community impacts safety in different ways. Our conversation with them reflects some of the process they have had to go through while trying to create safety in their neighborhood. If you're interested in volunteering with The Eggrolls, reach out via their website at https://www.chuminhtofu.com/get-involved. You can also connect with them on Instagram @chuminhtofu.

Sound Transit

This summer, we revisited the CID Coalition as they address a new challenge that threatens the CID. The regional transit service (Sound Transit) is working on an expansion of the light rail system in the Seattle region. Although this might seem like a great opportunity for the city, Sound Transit has selected the CID as the transit hub location for all of this new expansion. This project would have huge environmental impacts, including displacing long-time residents and between 5 - 10 businesses in the historic core of the neighborhood. We wanted to hear from the neighborhood about this light rail proposal, so Andy met up with CID Coalition organizers at flower flower (an artist studio in the CID on Jackson St) where the Coalition was making banners to prepare for a Sound Transit hearing.

The Eggrolls

Join us for a brief conversation with "The Eggrolls," a mutual aid group based out of ChuMinh Tofu in Little Saigon, located in the eastern side of the CID.  For the past 3 years, the Eggrolls and ChuMinh have been serving 150-200 free meals outside of the restaurant every Sunday to homeless and elder members of the Little Saigon community. We hope that this episode can give you a glimpse into what mutual aid in the Little Saigon area currently looks like, and how these community efforts contribute to safety.
