Neighbors are outraged.
The welfare group set up a tent city on the lot July 28 to accommodate hundreds of homeless and poor families and others who participated in a July 31 March for Economic Human Rights. Organizers also offered educational workshops in the tent city on poverty issues. The trash left behind will be gone this week, the group's leader, Cheri Honkala vowed. KWRU volunteers cleaned up their trash and left everything beside the street, she said. City trash crews removed some of the junk last week.
