Summary:
This is a draft of an affidavit written in defense of the Woodwards squat by Aaron Vidaver of Friends of the Woodwards Squat. It describes the purpose and function of the Friends of the Woodwards Squat and its relationship with the squatters. It states that structures on the sidewalks surrounding Woodwards pose no threat or obstruction, that city worker Judy Graves is untrusted by the squatters in her efforts to shelter them, and that there is a process in place to resolve the issues at the squat - all suggesting that an enforcement order should not be granted to closed down the squat.
