Fort Lauderdale's much-neglected electoral process collides with its much-maligned public officials February 10th!
All 3 races, including the Mayor's, include candidates on opposite sides of the "homeless hate laws" issues. While the Mayor easily sailed to re-election in 2012, his international notoriety for implementing the sharing ban has made things a little more interesting this time around.
Join the homeless support community of downtown Ft Lauderdale for an election rally on January 31st at Bubier Park at 2 pm. So far Chris Brennan, running for Mayor, and Didier Ortiz, running for district 3, have confirmed they will be speaking. There will be some musical entertainment by Jeff D.
It is also worthwhile to note that the voluntary, 45-day sharing ban injunction will lapse about a week after this rally.
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!
