Demand Change: Homeless Civil Rights & the Santa Cruz Police

HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom) is a small largely housed civil rights organization that's been meeting and raising issues for some years. We issue weekly updates and usually show up Wednesdays at Food Not Bombs meals to receive reports from the street to pass on.

The only thing likely to change Santa Cruz police policy is a persistent ongoing pressure from the streets and the community in a loud visible way.

I encourage folks to act on some of the issues raised in these flyers and to distribute them if you wish. Power concedes nothing without a demand. The persistence of protest locally and nationally against police violence is one of the most hopeful signs in years.
