Dear Mayor & Councilmembers,
I hope that you will consider attending the FTCFTHomeless Benefit. I think it is wonderful that they are stepping up to the plate to provide for a potta-potty.
Though I have not been empowered to speak for them, here’s my opinion. Let’s all enjoy the process which is step by step approach. I applaud that these two groups have developed a positive & 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) & details would be amenable to local government I’m glad to share with you this announcement.
Best Regards

Party for a Potty! Benefit for FTCFTH and FNB
Sunday July 9, from 6 – 10 pm in Fellowship Hall – 1924 Cedar St. at Bonita Ave.
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 & FNB smoothies & snacks.
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 “HERE” and “THERE” signs. Food Not Bombs has been cooking and distributing food to people in need for 35 years.
Suggested donations of $5 – $20 No one turned away for lack of funds!
