Great Day Against Sit/Lie at the Haight Street Fair

Filed under Uncategorized

Passerbys at the Haight Street Fair were overwhelming supportive.

We had a wonderful day out at the Haight Street Fair on Sunday where we shared a booth with the Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council.  We handed out flyers and stickers and spoke with countless voters and visitors to San Francisco.  Our interactions with folks were ovewhelmingly positive and supportive.

The San Francisco Chronicle spoke with Ann Dufrane who visited our booth to show support and get some stickers for herself and her dog Franklin.  Here’s an excerpt from the Chronicle coverage:

Local resident Ann Dufrane perused the stalls wearing a “Stand Against Sit/Lie” sticker, referring to Mayor Gavin Newsom’s efforts to make sitting or lying on sidewalks illegal during certain hours. Dufrane’s dog Franklin had a sticker too.

“I just have one word for our government wanting to pass something like this: stupid,” she said. “Ridiculous would be a good word too.”

Franklin seemed to agree with the political sentiment and sat down in the middle of Haight Street, the sticker placed prominently on his head.

See more pics at our Flickr page and as always, if you have any photos of people doing fun things on the sidewalk, please add them to our Flickr pool.


Ann Dufrane told the San Francisco Chronicle that the sit-lie law is "ridiculous."

Ann's dog, Franklin, sported a sticker and got a mention in the Chronicle as well.
