<br /> <br /> Please consider repealing, cancelling, or removing the unlawful restriction preventing me from <br />occupying the Knight Library while I am still a credit student enrolled in four credits and a city resident of the <br />City of Eugene that should remain accessible to me in those instances that I stated in accordance with my just <br />right to equal privilege as all other residents/credit students. Along with the restriction on the Alton baker park <br />the other restriction should be lifted as long as they were issued simply because I had slept in those places while <br />I could not sleep in the permanent residence from which I was evicted. It has been made public knowledge that <br />sleeping is not a crime. That I as an adult should have equal rights as babies and children that sleep in the park <br />and outside of it even at school during a naptime while I need sleep for my own health in order to remain <br />conscious during activities that require consciousness such as work and movement. Please do not allow me to <br />be displaced by the police from public resting places I use between activities with restrictions and trespassing <br />charges anymore. Allow me to lay and rest in the public places that are available for the public to stop moving <br />in and just sit or lay in a way that prevents emaciation and exhaustion. Let us know factually that sleeping is not <br />a crime and not against any park rules/school rules by cancelling the restrictions on those public places in which <br />I have slept. Do not pretend along with the police that us laying down a dry clothe before laying on the ground <br />to sleep, as in a tarp, on public lands is illegal since we need that for our cleanliness and health, that being dry <br />space on which to lay a blanket to rest in/on. <br /> <br /> <br /> Please allow our human right to eight hours per day of sleep without interruption from police that causes us <br />to be permanently/temporarily displaced from public lands/buildings where we are not obstructing public events <br />by laying to rest so that we can work after that period of rest. Those eight hours are necessary for our health <br />according to the LCC physical education building propaganda about the subject. The people that are not <br />allowed in private buildings should still have the right to sleep and rest even when we lack money to acquire <br />some space in a camp ground, hotel, or other sleeping space in order to be healthy and fit for work and <br />school/care of family and self. I request that be allowable and not violate city council or park/public policies <br />and local laws. <br /> <br />Thank you, from, Martha Younger-Holroyd <br /> <br />P.S. Please direct this to the attention of those to whom it is relevant and to those that have to read it for <br />the removal or repeal of the restriction. <br /> <br />On Mon, Jul 27, 2015 at 6:40 AM, MATSLER Clara T <Clara.T.Matsler@ci.eugene.or.us> wrote: <br />Thank you Martha for the phone number and info about your availability.
