START DATE:\u00a0 Sunday August 02<\/b><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
TIME:\u00a0 7:00 PM<\/span><\/span> – 7:00 AM<\/b><\/p>\n

Chow down at Food Not Bombs 4-6 PM<\/span><\/span>, then gather in front of the Main Post Office for final preparations, followed by a parade to City Hall, a modest meal there, and a night outside City Hall. We encourage the community to join us in a night of peaceful petitioning and protest to end the City-wide Sleeping Ban.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Event Type:<\/b><\/td>\nProtest<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
We continue this conscience-raising solidarity with homeless people outside who have no legal place to sleep (1500-2000 of them).<\/p>\n

Claudia Brown, speaking for the Homeless (Lack of) Services Center declared recently that the HLOSC will not be serving people who don’t have a funding stream (such as SSI or Section 8 Vouchers)–as a “path to housing”.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile police and rangers continue harassment ticketing with additional “stay-away” orders for the “crime” of sleeping after 11 PM<\/span><\/span> outside. City Council’s response has been to increase penalties, add more police, and create more “closed” areas.<\/p>\n

For more background on the protest as well as the latest flier, go to “3rd Sleep-in at City Hall” at http:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2015\/07\/23\/18775300.php<\/a> .<\/p>\n

NOTE: This posting reflects my views specifically, though I believe they are shared by many of the Freedom Sleepers.
