1) URGENT!! PLEASE call Berkeley city mgr 510.981.7000, manager@cityofberkeley.info Also Mayor Bates 510 981-7100, mayor@cityofberkeley.info

2) Demand the city stop the raids & harassment of the First They Came For The Homeless #PoorTour ('Snubbed by the HUB')

3) And create a sanctioned tent village per Mike Zint's design - NO Drugs or Alcohol and a process for living together developed by the "PoorTour".

A couple days ago First They Came for the Homeless once again were threatened with eviction and arrest - this time at their latest location at Adeline & Fairview in Berkeley. Some days ago they were ousted from Adeline & Shattuck, threatened with arrest for "trespassing." A day before that they were run off of their encampment at Adeline & Stuart after occupying the unused Adeline median for several days. This after being evicted from their protest outside of Berkeley's Center for Homeless services, the HUB, on Fairview Ave some weeks ago. This after being denied their constitutional right to protest homeless criminalization laws outside of old City Hall last December, an action dubbed "Liberty City." And this after being evicted after 17 months from their outside Occupation of the downtown Berkeley Post Office.

4) Check out the FTCftH Facebook page and an essay on what Berkeley needs to do besides allow tents.
