DESCRIPTION:SLEEP-IN AT DOLORES PARK WITH MILK CLUB ON MONDAY, OCT. 28\n\nMonday, 
 October 28th  - 9:00 pm\n\nDolores Park (18th & Dolores St )     \n\nSan 
 Francisco\n\n \n\nIn response to Supervisor Scott Wiener’s proposed 
 legislation to set uniform, citywide park closure hours, the Harvey Milk 
 LGBT Democratic Club is hosting a sleep-in in Dolores Park to draw 
 attention to this unnecessary and misguided policy.\n\n \n\nSan Francisco 
 prides itself on being a place that is welcoming and open to all. Our parks 
 remain one of the City’s greatest public treasures and are spaces of 
 recreation, sport, entertainment, and leisure. This proposed legislation 
 threatens the accessibility and openness of our parks and comes on the 
 heels of a spate of recent policies at City Hall that have sought to 
 regulate public spaces, to police bodies, and to criminalize homelessness. 
 With almost 30% of San Francisco ’s homeless population identifying as 
 LGBT, and many living on our streets and in our parks, we know who the real 
 targets of this legislation are. This is yet another attack on the 
 homeless, on queer people, poor people, and people of color, and on our 
 right to exist in public space in our society. The Harvey Milk Club has had 
 enough. Parks are for people and we believe this policy to be another step 
 in the wrong direction for San Francisco .\n\n \n\nJoin us for a sleep-in 
 in one of the finest parks in Supervisor Wiener’s District, Dolores Park, 
 as we take a stand against the attack on homelessness, the attack on public 
 access to public spaces and the attack on the San Francisco we have come to 
 know and love. Bring a sleeping bag, a protest sign and a piece of your 
 mind.\n\n \n\nRSVP on Facebook and get more information \n\n \n\nFor those 
 interested in participating in Monday night’s direct action against the 
 park closure legislation, note that we risk running afoul of several 
 sections of the San Francisco Park Code, violations which could result in a 
 fine as well as infraction or misdemeanor charges. While the SF Park Code 
 does not specifically include park closure hours, it does prohibit setting 
 up encampments or sleeping in public parks, “noisy” or “boisterous” 
 behavior, disobeying any park signage (which may include park closure 
 hours), and conducting any “exhibit” which has been publicized more 
 than 4 hours in advance (which could include our demonstration), among 
 others. While we expect that we would be warned prior to any citation or 
 charge pursuant to these violations, please know that by joining us you do 
 risk violating these city ordinances. For reasons related to Freedom of 
 Speech and Expression and the public’s right to freely use public space, 
 we believe that these ordinances are worth disobeying (civilly, of 
 course).\n\n \n\nNOTE: the SF Park Code also prohibits intoxication in 
 public parks and acts which could be deemed violent or destructive to 
 property in public parks. We do not intend to risk violating these 
 ordinances and ask that you agree to do the same. We are engaging in acts 
 of civil disobedience, and don’t intend to needlessly muddy the waters.\n
