About this PetitionPetition LetterPetition Updates

Phila. is proposing a ban on outdoor feeding of the hungry and the homeless, threating a fine of $150 and other punitive measures. This violates both civil rights and religious freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution.
Feeding people is a right, not a crime.
Phila. is the 2nd hungriest district in the country and the need is vital and severe. This proposed law is costly, unnecessary and just plain wrong.
Eliminate the ban on outdoor feedings now!

  If the government is not going to help the least fortunate then it is up to the community to step in. Government should not be setting up barriers to prevent us from caring about/for our brothers and sisters. 1 John 3:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
