Nov 23 FOOD DRIVE RESULTS: A heartfelt Social Justice THANK YOU! to everyone who contributed to the food drive for Upstate Food Not Bombs. A special shout-out to Priscilla Phillips, who collected a large donation of shoes and warm clothes from the Senior Action center; to Indivisible Upstate SC for an incredible donation of $600 worth of socks, and to the Rowleys for a most generous donation of paper towels, kleenex and food. The back of the van was completely filled! Additionally, $146 in cash was donated. As the weather turns colder and with the increasingly difficult financial challenges people are facing, your generosity helps to lighten the burdens many of our neighbors are carrying. Thank you for your caring and sharing.

GREENVILLE CITY COUNCIL ANTI-CAMPING ORDINANCE: The city council will conduct the 2nd reading of this ordinance on Monday, November 24. Please take a few minutes to call or email the 7 members of the City Council to ask them to vote NO on this anti-camping ordinance until more time can be spent investigating programs that can produce quantifiable results. There are many such programs in other cities that can be replicated here. Putting people in jail for having no home is not a solution! The U.S. Supreme Court has issued the following opinion on the negative effects of anti-homeless laws: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/23/23-175/306641/20240403145657027_23-175%20Amicus%20Brief.pdf
