Hello Mr. Salahuddin:

Thank you for taking a moment to acknowledge our group yesterday outside of City Hall. 

As you are now aware, there is increasing public concern about the City's sudden closure of OFH. I urge the City to immediately postpone the closure of OFH while it engages teens, parents, and community members in a transparent and inclusive discussion about the building over the next couple of months. 

If the building is currently safe for occupancy, there is no need for you to lose the respect and trust of the public by swiftly closing OFH without engaging in this process first. The credibility of City Council and Mayor Birney will be called into question publicly if this closure is not postponed and the process is not conducted in an ethical manner. We are planning on speaking to you on 4/1, however, this is only being allowed after you have kicked the community out of OFH with less than three weeks notice. If you postpone the OFH's closure, it would enable a more constructive engagement process with less feelings of anger and broken trust. 

We are eager to speak further with you. Please let me know what you have in mind and whether postponing this sudden closure is something you can help facilitate. 

Thank you, 
Sasha Glenn
