Protect the 1st Amendment Rights of the People of Las Cruces
The Issue
On Tuesday, 2/21, at the Las Cruces City Council Meeting, Parks and Rec will be asking the Council to pass a new rule that would basically make it impossible for us or anyone else to "occupy" a public space. The rule says that any "camping" has to be in conjunction with an event and is limited to 7 days. Though I haven't been able to find out what the fee for this would be, I think we can reasonably assume that it will be much more than the $20-$25 per day we (Occupy Las Cruces) were paying for permits. This would effectively price us (and most citizens) out of carrying on an "occupation" protest.
