Citation For Feeding The Homeless

Yesterday (11/28/18) a fellow activist and I were sharing food and hot coffee with our houseless community down on Foremaster Lane (AKA "The Corridor of Hope") until the government decided to come in and shut down a good thing. Since sharing food is no longer illegal in Nevada, they tried citing us for anything and everything. I picked up all of the trash in the area so they couldn't get us for littering, they threatened us with Trespassing but the sidewalk is public property. Then they tried to say that they had surveillance cameras showing that when the folks formed a line that they were obstructing the sidewalk. But after all the harassment was said and done and our stuff all packed up, they ended up citing me for parking on a red curb. By the way, for people who aren't familiar with the area, ALL of Foremaster has red curbs, the ENTIRE street! They do this by design but that's a whole other discussion.Upon hearing our story, many people online and at my job offered to help me with the fine so I came up with an idea. Vegas just started a program called "toys for tickets" for the holidays where tickets issued in November can be paid by December 19th with toys instead of cash. The toys will be donated to Salvation Army's Angel program. I had planned on fighting this ticket in court because I will not give these animals a penny but I thought this would be a much more constructive way of "taking the high road" so to speak and to continue showing the city and our government that We The People can take care of our communities in a much more peaceful and effective way. So, if you think citing good Samaritans is some bullshit and you want to help me out while also helping get some children some toys for Christmas then let's do this! Thank you all!✌️❤️The fine is $200 and anything raised beyond that will go directly to buying nothing but food and drinks so that we can continue to share with those in our community who need it most!For more information on this incident there are Livestreams available on:Facebook.com/waterandsolidarityAs well as a video on Joshua Martinez's YouTube channel:( https://youtu.be/YdmIju2E_m0 ) There's also an article that made the front page of the RJ:
