SafeGround Raided and 15 More Arrested

On top of the 17 that were arrested Friday, September 4th, 15 more of our homeless friends were arrested this gloomy morning, September 12th.

It appears there will be no break for Sacramento’s homeless community, SafeGround tenants found themselves raided by the police, and arrested once again. Arrested for what, you ask? Arrested for being homeless, and attempting to sleep in an environment were there are no drugs, alcohol or violence! 

This time it was a bit different, however. Not only were arrest made, and camping equipment taken away by the police, this time the police took their cooking source, a BBQ grill, and emptied most of the “private lot” of peoples personal property. Bikes, chairs, everything is gone!

SafeGround Sacramento’s Rally at City Hall

Category Taking a Stand

SafeGround Sacramento went to City Hall today to have a peaceful rally to speak to our Mayor, City Council and City Manager to address the anti-camping ordinance, and to ask they provide “SafeGround, a legal campground for homeless people who have signed a pledge of no drugs, no alcohol, no violence.”

This is very touching, and needs attention. Here is a video to today’s events provided by Sacramento Loaves & Fishes:

Peaceful SafeGround Rally at Sacramento City Hall

Peaceful SafeGround Rally at Sacramento City Hall

When: Thursday, September 10, 2009 10 AM

Where: Sacramento City Hall 915 I Street – plaza

Why Hasn’t Sacramento Provided a Safe and Legal Place to Camp?

The number of homeless people has risen by 14% in just two years. Shelters are turning away hundreds of men, woman and children every night for lack of space. Why would we arrest people who have nowhere to go? Shouldn’t the city spend its money on housing for people rather than on jails? Criminalizing homelessness is unjust and solves nothing.
Please support the more than 1,200 homeless people who will sleep outside in Sacramento tonight and every night.

Come to the SafeGround Rally this Thursday at 10 AM at City Hall.

Ask our Mayor, City Council and City Manager to act immediately to:

1. Declare a moratorium on enforcement of the anti-camping ordinance. It is unjust to cite and arrest people who have nowhere else to go.
2. Provide SafeGround, a legal campground for homeless people who have signed a pledge of no drugs, no alcohol, no violence.
