The homeless and their advocates filed a lawsuit in Fresno today to stop the city from violating their constitutional rights. See the story and photos from the Press Conference here:

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there's a twilight where everything remains seemingly unchanged, and it is in such twilight that we must be aware of change in the air, however slight, lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness." William O. Douglas, Supreme Court Justice
