We had soooo much fun at Sidewalks are for People on March 27th that we've decided to make it a monthly tradition, at least until the no-fun Sit/Lie law is defeated at the Board of Supervisors and on the November ballot. But who knows maybe we'll do this forever! Who doesn't love having fun on the sidewalks?!
**********
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors will soon be voting on a law that would make it illegal to sit or lie on any sidewalk in San Francisco. We think it’s a terrible idea to criminalize the act of sitting in public space and we are shocked that San Francisco may be on the verge of adopting the most draconian “sit/lie” law in the country.
You can help stop this law from passing, and you’ll need do nothing more than do what you love on your nearest sidewalk.
SATURDAY APRIL 24 will mark a fantastic, city-wide celebration of public space, San Francisco’s diverse and vibrant culture, and San Francisco’s history of tolerance and compassion.
On Saturday, APRIL 24, people in every neighborhood will be doing what they love on the city’s sidewalks and they will be inviting family, friends, and neighbors to join them.
What can you do for Sidewalks 4 People? Anything!
Just occupy a space on the sidewalk, perhaps with a table, lawn chair or carpet. Then, make music, barbecue, do yoga, create a lemonade stand, read, relax, make art, have an argument, talk, sunbathe, play chess, meditate, do tai chi, eat, knit, dance, paint, write, sit, lie down, play — Anything!
We will provide you with some basic materials to hand out to curious pedestrians, along with tools to support you in orchestrating this in the most effective way. Other than that, we leave it up to you to organize the best event that you can. You can do whatever you want, but please do something!
Be sure to document your event with photos and video.
