DESCRIPTION:Public BBQ and open forum discussion on organizing resistance to park 
 closures, increased police power, and attacks on homelessness in Downtown 
 Modesto.\n\nPlease join us on Saturday, July 9th, 12 Noon, at Paperboy 
 Park, aka Rose Garden Park, at 15th and I Street. There, renters, homeless, 
 and home owners will gather and rally against the recent closure of the 
 park and it's "privatization." A BBQ will be held and there will be a forum 
 to discuss organizing resistance to park closures and the criminalization 
 of homelessness in the Downtown area. \n\nRecently, local politicians and 
 business interests have proposed that public parks be heavily policed by 
 private security, the sharing of food be made a crime, and surveillance 
 cameras be installed in local parks. These assaults on human freedom and 
 movement affect us all: whether we are homeless or paying rent or a 
 mortgage. None of us gain anything when the government gains more power, 
 the police are allowed more control over our actions and movement, when we 
 lose access to public spaces, and when everyday activities such as sharing 
 are made into criminal acts. \n\nJoin us in the park. To eat, plan, and 
 meet each other. \n
