The Friends of Friendship Park coalition is now ready to enter into formal negotiations with San Diego Border Patrol about restoring public access to Friendship Park.  Members of Congress Bob Filner and Susan Davis have agreed to take the lead in these negotiations. 

YOU CAN HELP by contacting Representatives Filner and Davis with this message or one like it in your own words: 

“Thank you for standing up for Friendship Park!  Don’t back down in your negotiations with Border Patrol!  We want ordinary people to be able to go to the park to meet with their friends at the border!”
