Evict Albus Brooks from the Denver City Council for the urban camping ban

Alright, let’s ignore Occupy for a moment. This is beyond that.

In case you’re wondering, basically, there’s a very privileged and rich force that wants to criminalize homelessness. How?

Shelter funding has been dramatically cut over the years in Denver. And a lot of homeless folks have nowhere else to go are forced to sleep on doorsteps, including business centers. If this ordnance passes, it will make it illegal to sleep out on the streets. These people have NOWHERE else to go. Homeless shelters are over-crowded. Many organizations who help the homeless, including Colorado Collation for the Homeless have voiced concerns over this ordnance.

Albus Brooks is an outspoken proponent for the ordnance, putting business over people, calling himself a minister. He forgets the fact that Jesus Christ himself would advocate helping the homeless. This man and many of the Denver City Council have never talked to the homeless. Many of the homeless are veterans and have been neglected by the system.

So please, sign and share!

Denver commission calls for delay in introduction of proposed homeless camping ban

The increasing numbers of homeless and Occupy Denver protesters camped out downtown overnight has divided the community as well as city lawmakers.

Advocates for the homeless are lining up against the ordinance. Business members are pushing for its adoption.

Does Denver need a camping ban? What alternatives are there?

Would you lovely people tell The Denver Post that this is class warfare at it’s finest?

“It isn’t about feeling guilty for being white, it’s about motivating yourself and other white people to stand up against a culture which permits the murder of people of color to go unreported and blames them for getting angry about it. Not to mention the wage gap, stigmas perpetuated about people of color, misrepresentation in the media, etc. If the aforementioned pisses you off less than being asked to shut up and listen or admit that white privilege does exist, you have a serious problem.”

People ask me all the time if I’m “asking them to be guilty about being white.” NO! This explains it. -Jess
