Two pastors and a 90-year-old man were arrested in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Sunday for feeding the homeless.

Local 10 reports that homeless advocate Arnold Abbott, 90, and Christian ministers Dwayne Black and Mark Sims face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine on charges they resisted a new ordinance in the beachside city that places heavy restrictions on public food sharing.

The arrests were captured on video and tweeted by several sources:

It's the first reported case since the new ban took effect Friday, according to Local 10. The law was passed 4-1 at 3:30 a.m. during a lengthy meeting of Ft. Lauderdale commissioners on Oct. 29, according to the Sun-Sentinel. Homeless advocates, including Abbott, had protested with a "mass solidarity food sharing" in front of City Hall before the meeting.

According to the Sun-Sentinel, the new rules dictate that feeding sites "cannot be within 500 feet of each other, that only one is allowed in any given city block and that any site would have to be at least 500 feet away from residential properties."

Advocates for the homeless are speaking out online. The National Coalition for the Homeless, a network committed to ending homelessness, tweeted about a week of action Oct. 31-Nov. 7 that includes protests and marches, fueled by the hashtag #resisthomelesshatelaws.
