Can the City of Fresno be prevented from bulldozing downtown homeless encampments, on 8/26 ?

Thursday, August 15 at 7 p.m.
Can the City of Fresno be prevented from bulldozing downtown homeless encampments,
which are scheduled to begin on August 26?

If so, how can these demolitions be stopped? Are safe and legal homeless encampments an option?
Are you able to help document (with a camera) the demolitions, if they take place?

Join homeless advocates and community members as we discuss a response to these ongoing attacks against the homeless.

This meeting will take place at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) office at 1295 Wishon Suite D.
(That's across the street from Cafe Corazon in the Tower District).

Learn about the ongoing abuse of the homeless by the City of Fresno

Not sure what the hell they hope to accomplish stomping down on the homeless, they don't have anywhere else to go.
