Please support rescinding the 2002 Downtown Ordinance banning street performers from 95% of the street and amending the old 1994 ordinance to legalize traditional performing in front of street cafes and buildings at the evening Council meeting Tuesday December 10th. This doesn't do enough, but it's a first step towards returning to a cease-fire on the War On the Poor downtown.

Trying to regain the 95% of the sidewalk removed from performer and public use by the Reilly-Porter Downtown Ordinances of last summer, street performers will be back at City Council Tuesday December 10th at 8 PM seeking to restore the Voluntary guidelines for street performers set up by consensus back in 1980. Posted are the Guidelines, the recent Performers Proposal, the Downtown Commission report, and the (performer-hostile) staff report.

Why we need Peace and Freedom, not war and repression.
