Let\u2019s all enjoy the process which is step by step approach. I applaud that these two groups have developed a positive &amp; creative event. Then the next step outside of the benefit is to determine if the proposed nearby site (of which there are more than one) &amp; details would be amenable to local government I\u2019m glad to share with you this announcement.<\/p>\n<p>Best Regards<br \/>\nGianna Ranuzzi (forwarded by Mike Zint)<\/p>\n<p>Party for a Potty! Benefit for FTCFTH and FNB<br \/>\nSunday July 9, from 6 \u2013 10 pm in Fellowship Hall \u2013 1924 Cedar St. at Bonita Ave.<\/p>\n<p>Why the Potty? If you were homeless, you would know. First They Came For The Homeless and Food Not Bombs will unite to hold a joint benefit at BFUU featuring music, dancing, juggling, poetry, politics, and a performance of shadow puppetry. Drs open at 6 pm for socializing &amp; FNB smoothies &amp; snacks.<\/p>\n<p>FTCFTH is a homeless rights\/ intentional community. It serves to shelter homeless until cities can provide affordable housing. It operates a drug-and-alcohol free camp on Adeline at the Oakland\/Berkeley border, next to \u201cHERE\u201d and \u201cTHERE\u201d signs. Food Not Bombs has been cooking and distributing food to people in need for 35 years.<\/p>\n<p>Suggested donations of $5 \u2013 $20 No one turned away for lack of funds!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"_3x-2\">\n<div data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;H&quot;}\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"_5r69\">\n<div class=\"mtm\">\n<div data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;H&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"mtm\">\n<div class=\"_5cq3\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;E&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"u_0_s\" class=\"uiScaledImageContainer _4-ep\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"scaledImageFitWidth img\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-0\/s480x480\/19598874_830100947156856_8573407797803226248_n.jpg?oh=8c9913feb5fb62e6ebf38e6d1a70023b&amp;oe=59C942BD\" alt=\"Image may contain: 1 person, text\" width=\"476\" height=\"357\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mtm _5pcm\"><span class=\"_1nb_ fwn fcg\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;C&quot;}\"><span class=\"fwb\" data-ft=\"{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;k&quot;}\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/firsttheycameforthehomeless\/?fref=nf\" data-hovercard=\"\/ajax\/hovercard\/page.php?id=253882908111999&amp;extragetparams=%7B%22fref%22%3A%22nf%22%7D\" data-hovercard-prefer-more-content-show=\"1\">First they came for the homeless<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 7, 2017 Dear Mayor &amp; Councilmembers, I hope that you will consider attending the FTCFTHomeless Benefit.
