Here is a new website dedicated to the lawsuit being formed against the City to end this immoral, unconstitutional and unethical law. This site will be a focal point for information on the status of the lawsuit. We need your help from funds to making phone calls and writing letters. Even the act of making making a comment helps.

It always easy to brutalize and scapegoat the homeless.
