Image contains the text of Palm Beach DSA's statement on the attempts to require permitting for food shares, which says the following. Mimi May says, "We want people to be fed, but we also are a city of 45,000 people, and we want people to be able to come to the park," but the park is not closed during our food shares. People can and should come to the park, and get to know their neighbors! Of course, her real objection is not that the park can't be used, but that if you use the park during that time, you might encounter someone who's homeless. She prefers to defend the capitalist system that produces homelessness by trying to make homelessness invisible. The perspective of the capitalists is that our unhoused neighbors are vermin to be herded out of sight by the cops through violence or the threat of violence. We fiercely oppose this perspective, and recognize no separation between ourselves and our unhoused neighbors. We oppose all attempts to restrict our food shares, which are a benefit to our community and a protest against an economic system that fails to feed its population. They are an exercise of the right to freedom of speech which is supposedly guaranteed by the Constitution.
