051712 ACLU-EASTERN MISSOURI OPPOSES CITY OF ST. LOUIS' ACTIONS REGARDING INTEGRITY VILLAGE

St. Louis, May 17 - Last night the city of St. Louis used a condemnation ordinance as a pretext to close Larry Rice’s new encampment, Integrity Village. The ordinance in question is designed for use in safety emergencies, which was clearly not the situation as tents were being newly erected on an empty lot. The city did not even cite any specific violations in its condemnation notification.
