I filed these two letters with the court clerks this morning after the weekly HUFF meeting. If I hear from Akao (or any other court officials), I'll post their replies.


Councilmember Tony Madrigal has a public meeting on Saturday morning August 7th 9:30 AM to 11 AM at the Lava Rock Internet Cafe at 541 Seabright on topics of "Measure X and the Community's Economic Prosperity Summit".

He has been advised, as has Rotkin, of the surge in fines under the Sleeping Ban. His response, when his public meeting with the Human Rights Organization was played on my Free Radio Show, was to break his commitments to meet with them on the Sleeping Ban issue. (He was embarrassed at the exposure of his flipflopping around on an issue that he promised to address in his election campaign a year ago)

For Madrigal and his middle-class backers, it's "prosperity", for the homeless, it's survival. I encourage people to confront Madrigal and other Council members regularly on the Sleeping Ban whenever and whereever they appear in public--this is the only way things will change.

As the attack on Becky Johnson, people can form their own opinions, but in fact HH's particular post is repetitive, personal, and irrelevant to this thread.

While there is a principled issue involved between activists of good will, I think that controversy is a separate subject.

Please roast Johnson on other threads unless you have something pertinent to the particular issue under discussion.

Doing so here obscures issues important to those who live outside and on which Johnson is doing important work. It also unnecessarily divides us on issues we need to unite around.
