NEWS:A Boulder Rally for Homeless Justice
Sep 28th
We urge:
§ a halt to cruel and unusual punishment (8th Amendment)
§ support for ACLU appeal on case # 10CV716 involving Boulder’s camping ordinance
§ an immediate moratorium on camping tickets
revision of Boulder’s no camping ordinance safe places to sleep for all Boulder’s homeless residents. “The mere act of searching out a public place and seeking shelter from the elements at night, whether it be under a discarded newspaper, a threadbare blanket, or a tattered sleeping-bag, exposes an individual to criminal liability under Boulder’s ordinance. It matters not that the act is done out of necessity, and in response to the involuntary human need for warmth, sleep, and protection from the forces of nature; and, it matters not that the essential freedom to move about and remain in public places is perhaps the most fundamental and valuable liberty that homeless individuals enjoy. Boulder’s “anti-camping” ordinance … has significant potential to encumber a substantial amount of protected activity.” –from ACLU Appeal # 10CV716 In Washington, D.C. One Nation Working Together will demand cuts in military spending to fund community needs, an end to the current U.S. wars, peace abroad and renewable energy at home.
