SANTA CRUZ HOMELESS UNION, FOOD NOT BOMBS  [FNB] , and HUFF  meet Monday Aug 8 at 6 PM at the Resource Center for Non-Violence  (612 Ocean) to discuss Resistance Strategies  as the  Summer ‘s End demolition threats loom larger.

Police and their City Council backers have made few if any significant  reforms since the Black Lives Matter marches of 2020.  Transparency, accountability, demilitarization, ending racial and class discrimination, are all on the HUFF  agenda.  

The failure of the SCPD and the state Department of Justice to make explicit, public, and accessible the Use of Force standards as required by state law is still another unmentioned scandal which we hope to be covering in future and encourage the public to speak out about.
