We want to see a repeal of all laws that punish homeless persons and families: preventing them from having a place to sleep or from being fed in whatever way results in them having nourishment. Additionally, we are against any legislation that limits access to food from people good enough to feed others, and any laws that allow municipalities and businesses to add spikes or other barriers and obstacles on their buildings and properties that prevent those desperate for shelter and rest from using those spaces as respite. We also want to encourage legislators and community leaders to initiate and sponsor legislation to create safe spaces and facilitate feeding programs for the indigent and homeless.
Why is this important?
As our economy continues to tank, more and more people are finding themselves without shelter and food security. At the same time businesses and municipalities are creating and building obstacles and edifice-additions that discourage and prevent people desperate for shelter and rest from using those spaces.
