Dear Friends,
A peaceful campout will take place on the South Lawn of the Hennepin County Government Center in Downtown Mpls. from 3p.m. Thursday, January 30th throughout the night to 8a.m. Friday, January 31st.
This is to call for the Mayor of Minneapolis and the City Council to declare homelessness a crisis requiring immediate action to resolve. They will also be presented with a resolution calling for revocation of the ordinances that make it against the law for people to sleep outside, camp or sleep in their car.
As all of you know, poverty and homelessness increase with many people forced to the streets. The city of Mpls. (along with many other cities in this country) has ordinances that make it a crime to sleep, camp or sleep in your car.
Please stop by, stay overnight, or contact me for more information.
Sincerely,
Margaret Hastings-Mpls. 612-822-5745
