The City of Fort Lauderdale is introducing a series of new ordinances that will effectively ban sleeping or having property in public spaces, panhandling, and sharing food. These rules will create even greater levels of suffering for the 500+ homeless people in Broward County who will not have any safe places to be, no way to eke out a living, and no food aid. We need compassionate people from South Florida and beyond to resist these laws!
