FLASHBACK to September 10, 1998:

• Charlie of San Jose Food Not Bombs describes the homeless struggle in St. James park.
• Co-Host Chaz, the Fidget Guy, street eyes and speak-up voice.
• Berkeley’s Jolly Roger Comedy Troupe radio skits when Satire was in Flower.
• Interviewing a FootCrime ticket.
• Skidmark Bob on overactive police behavior
• V-Man updates on the Berkeley City Council’s Support for Berkeley Free Radio, describes the violent police raid on the Campbell St. Free Radio Collective

• Jean–copcrap in front of the downtown Cookie Company

BENCHLANDS RESISTANCE sponsored by SANTA CRUZ HOMELESS UNION, FOOD NOT BOMBS  [FNB] , and HUFF  will meet again at a time and place TBA.  Contact FNB [575-770-3377] or the Union for more info. 

In the past, SANTA CRUZ SHITTY COUNCIL  refused to fund or even permit independent low-barrier agreement or transitional camps, nor to fund FNB  or the Footbridge Services Program.  In August  it transferred $1 million in state funding for the Coral St. Safe Sleeping Program to “Benchlands Closure and Restoration”.

Call 575-770-3377  or 431-7766 to volunteer for the SC Homeless Union .  Still needed leadership and organizing help.  President Alicia Kuhl takes concerns and complaints.  Also notable: City Council’s failure to use the $14.5 million to set up survival campgrounds outside the Benchlands and support those that exist! 

The City’s principal goal seems to be to provide
“show shelter” to persuade a federal court they are meeting the Martin v. Boise “no prosecutions without adequate shelter” option. Police can then restore the Sleeping/Camping Ban (MC 6.36) aka the Camping Services and Standards Ordinance and resume their “hide out or get out” policy making visible homelessness (while sleeping or resting) a crime. 

They would circumvent the Martin v. Boise “no tickets without real shelter” ruling by setting aside 10 shelter spaces up at the Overlook or Armory encampments and claiming those who don’t take them are “service resistant” and so no longer protected by that ruling.

In the past, SANTA CRUZ SHITTY COUNCIL  refused to fund or even permit independent low-barrier agreement or transitional camps, nor to fund FNB  or the Footbridge Services Program.  On August 23rd, it transferred $1 million in state funding for the Coral St. Safe Sleeping Program to “Benchlands Closure and Restoration”.

Also notable: City Council’s failure to use the $14.5 million to set up survival campgrounds outside the Benchlands and support those that exist! 

Their principal goal seems to be to provide token shelter so they can restore the Sleeping/Camping Ban (MC 6.36) aka the Camping Services and Standards Ordinance and resume their “hide out or get out” policy. 

They would circumvent the Martin v. Boise “no tickets without real shelter” ruling by setting aside 10 shelter spaces up at the Overlook encampment and claiming those who don’t take them are “service resistant” and so no longer protected by that ruling.
