DESCRIPTION:Becky Johnson of HUFF [Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom]--a Freedom 
 Sleeper supporter as well--will speak at City Council at 5 PM during Oral 
 Communications after yesterday's Koffee Klatch Call-Out to Mayor Cynthia 
 Mathews (See https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/01/24/18782176.php 
 )\n\nAround the same time HAAC activist Toby Nixon will begin another night 
 on the concrete drawing attention to the City's medieval law making the act 
 of sleeping a crime after 11 PM at night outside, in a vehicle, or in any 
 non-residential building.\n\nYesterday HUFF activists gave out coffee and 
 brownies in front of City Council offices as well as making forms available 
 for complaints to document the City's organized legal persecution of poor 
 people outside.  \n\nLast week activist Nixon documented harassment by 
 First Alarm Security guards against a homeless man trying to sleep out of 
 the wind under the eaves of the Civic Auditorium.\n\nPhorographer and 
 journalist Alex Darocy documented last week's Freedom Sleep-Out (#28) at 
 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/01/21/18782114.php ["The "Winter" 
 Freedom Sleepers"].  \n\nFreedom Sleepers Keith McHenry and Abbi Samuels 
 are facing related harassment charges in court today at 10 AM.   See "

 Work to Defend the Rights of the Poor " at 
 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2015/12/18/18781097.php ,\n\nLast Friday 
 a visiting judge found Freedom Sleepers Phil Posner and Louise Drummond 
 guilty of "being in a park after closing hours", the grabbag charge being 
 used to disperse and discourage protest at City Hall for the last six 
 months.   Posner suggested he prefered jail to paying a fine or doing 
 community service, but was turned down. \n\nPhil and Louise describe their 
 history and experiences with the Freedom Sleepers on Community TV, archived 
 at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-Kd_Ll2Ctk&feature=youtu.be .\n\nCoffee 
 usually shows up during the night for those hardy enough to spend the 
 night.  Visitors and donations are welcome.  Freedom Sleepers regularly 
 assess the night's events at the morning HUFF meeting 11 AM at the Sub Rosa 
 Cafe at 703 Pacific Avenue, where yet more coffee flows.\n
