Nazi Germany? Homeless must wear wristbands to get services

Latest


 
ST. PETERSBURG, FL — These are the WRISTBANDS that St Vincent De Paul in the City of St. Petersburg is forcing people to wear in order to get services, ala Star Of David that happened in Nazi Germany. Further, they are limiting those who receive help only to those who wear this and they must have it at all times. As of December 31, they will no longer service single homeless folks, thus putting hundreds on the street. We at the Poor People’s Economic Human Rights Campaign are documenting this and will seek legal action as this violates human rights and international law. We are organizing a protest for and with the homeless community and supporters. We are asking everyone to wear yellow wristbands. Email: bruce@stpeteprogressives.org/
Editor’s note: The mandate for wristbands was dropped after the plans to demonstrate were released. A temporary victory perhaps, but a victory nonetheless!
