My Voice Matters is a FREE workshop for Venice residents on how to protest license applications, how to report problem alcohol businesses, and more.

The event was created in direct response to Venetians’ concerns that several new alcohol licenses up for consideration — many of which would operate a mere few feet from people’s homes — will severely compromise quality of life in their neighborhoods.

Topics will include:

• How to protest licenses at a state and local level
• How to limit alcohol outlet over-concentration
• How to request conditions be placed on alcohol businesses’ operations
• How to encourage the enforcement of alcohol outlets’ conditions
• How to hold problem outlets accountable for bad business practices

My Voice Matters will be facilitated by the Institute for Public Strategies, a non-profit organization that has been providing alcohol and other drug environmental prevention services to communities throughout Southern California and the nation for over 23 years. Claudia Martin, who has served as the Neighborhood Prosecutor for the Pacific Division for 9 years, will also attend to answer residents’ questions.

My Voice Matters will be held Wednesday, March 11 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Oakwood Recreation Center (767 California Avenue, Venice, CA.)

This should prove a great opportunity for people to get informed. Also, it’s highly possible there will be reps from the City and City Council office, so this may be a good chance to hear them AND HAVE OUR VOICES HEARD.

Remember Venice has 3-4 times the ALLOWABLE limit on alcohol outlets already AND it grows every month!

Please share this flyer with anyone and everyone who may benefit!

RSVP @ http://www.myvoicematters.eventbrite.com/ so they can gauge numbers as there will be an info. packet giveaway for us all on the night!

THIS IS A MUST ATTEND FOR VENETIANS, AS OUR FIGHT with 259 Hampton, 320 Sunset, 600 Mildred, etc. IS ALL BECAUSE OF OVER-CONCENTRATION OF THE LIQUOR LICENSES IN VENICE which just keeps escalating out of control!
