SafeGround Sacramento’s Rally at City Hall

September 10th, 2009 Jennifer

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:

Let Safe Ground Sacramento Rest

August 24th, 2009 Jennifer

Safe Ground is leading the way for our homeless community to have a safe place to be. Who wants to be rousted by the police in the middle of the night? Who wants to wake up to a fight breaking out on the streets? Sleep is hard enough on a city bench, let alone, in a tent within Safe Grounds premises.

Being within Safe Grounds encampment, you have hope to not be harassed by the police, you can leave for the day to apply for work without shelter curfews, you can sleep knowing there won’t be drugs, alcohol, or fights breaking out, and affecting your personal safety. Hope is the key word here…
