DESCRIPTION:Simply existing within public areas has been criminalized while being 
 homeless, or so say the owners and protectors of property in the city of 
 Modesto. While the churches close to Tower Park work to sign petitions to 
 drive Food Not Bombs and the Good Samaritans out, the police are happy to 
 drive out the homeless from the few parks we can still gather in. While the 
 downtown is revamped by developers to make way for the bay area invasion, 
 our rent continues to rise, and the new vision of Modesto is one that is 
 without homeless. This process is carried out by making it illegal to be 
 homeless, from getting food, to getting money, to finding a place to live. 
 But the struggle for what is right in this city is not about illegality. 
 Everyday we gather from dumpsters what the rich through away, we break into 
 abandoned buildings because we need places to stay. This isn’t about 
 illegality, this is about survival!   While some have called for letter 
 writing, voting, and other means of achieving our goals, we are calling for 
 direct action to be taken to get our point across to the public that the 
 issues facing the homeless are real - and are not going away!   ACTION IN 
 THE PARK: Film Showings: Various films about homeless/police issues will be 
 shown throughout the day.   Three meals, free clothes, toys, and jackets!   
 “Know Your Rights” Training: Various legal workers will talk and give 
 advice on your legal rights in various situations with police.   March to 
 Dinner Park!: We will be walking to a nearby park for dinner. Signs and 
 banners will be provided, bring your own! Police out of parks! Permanent 
 Shelter Now!   Massive flyering to public about the homeless situation in 
 Modesto.   http://www.geocities.com/modanarcho\n
