Why Panhandling is Free Speech
Expressive Conduct: Holding a sign or asking for money is a form of expression, which is protected under the First Amendment.
Charitable Appeal: The act of soliciting donations is viewed as a "charitable appeal for funds," falling under the broad category of protected speech.
Content-Based vs. Content-Neutral: Regulations that target the specific content of the speech (e.g., arguing against panhandling based on the message of requesting money) face strict scrutiny and unconstitutional.
