Greetings City of Denver.
We are Anonymous

It has come to our attention that you continue to deny the homeless of your city their basic human rights, as well as rights guaranteed by Amendment 8 of the United States Constitution, as verified by the Justice department in its statement.

"It should be uncontroversial that punishing conduct that is a universal and unavoidable consequence of being human violates the Eighth Amendment. Sleeping is a life-sustaining activity, ., it must occur at some time, in some place. If a person literally has nowhere else to go, then enforcement of the Denver Urban Camping Ban against that person, criminalizes them for being homeless."

"Many homeless individuals are unable to secure shelter space because city shelters are over capacity or inaccessible to people with disabilities. These facilities are often breeding grounds for illness. How many of you have pets? Many homeless people do as well. These people are forced to choose between going into the shelter or keeping their best friend.

The Denver Homeless Camping Ban was passed on May 23, of 2012. The ban was introduced into Council’s Land, Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, instead of the Health, Safety, Education and Services Committee where it more naturally fit. This was done to assure that it would garner enough positive votes to be sent to the full City Council. The proposed ban would likely not have passed through the Health, Safety, Education and Services Committee by traditional procedures.. Click on link below for full script.
