## Resource

Three nonprofits are suing Phoenix over a new park ordinance that bans unsanctioned food and medical aid, calling it unconstitutional and harmful to homeless outreach. The city defends the law as essential for park safety and recreation, limiting permits to two per park monthly — a move that cripples street medicine teams like Circle the City, who rely on parks to reach vulnerable populations without transportation. While one group already won temporary relief, others seek similar orders, arguing the law undermines compassion and public health. Phoenix vows to fight hard, insisting the ordinance protects community spaces — but critics say it’s a misguided solution that hurts those it’s meant to help.
