HUFF Agenda Suggestions  7-8-20 Start at 11 AM    Coffee Free    Meeting in Courtyard not Indoors.

With City Council and the powerful City Manager refusing to respond to three separate calls for defunding our overamped police.  Two regular June Council meetings had an overwhelming majority of voices at the Oral Communications period calling for fundamental change—and that was repeated last Thursday June2nd at the contrived “Special Meeting”.   Public protest demanding these changes was shown by the five and a half hour long protest and march from the Town Clock to the Boardwalk and back.

LIKELY AGENDA ITEMS-

  • A HUFF mini-protest, tabling, encampment, or march to a Policy Maker’s House or Business.
  • Discussion of the HUFF response to the proposed Vendor Ban cited on the 7-2 Agenda.
  • Co-ordination with BLM, Dem Socialists, Glover-Krohn progressives and other new  groups concerned with Civil Rights, Renter Protection, Social Services and Public Access in Santa Cruz
  • Status Report on the CDC-disapproved Group Shelters which are Santa Cruz’s main duck-and-dodge response to the Project Roomkey funding, leaving hundreds of vulnerable houseless people at risk
  • Info Gathering and Protest at St. Francis Soup Kitchen for Recent Discrimination
  • Olive and Delaware Street Organizing and Support of Vehicular Residents Under Fire
  • Return of the print edition of the Street Spirit  newspaper
  • Psychiatric authority seizure of a HUFF member (Angel) and her removal to Fremont

More important hit the streets to make real change! 


(A useless Zoomed City Council meeting on 6-23 ignored the strong demands to defund the SCPD.  It  proceeded with the usual prefabricated agenda involving no meaningful checks on current police use of force and violence.  The real budget meeting was on July 2nd.  Without strong loud community response beyond the sterile and City Manager-controlled confines of City Hall,  City Council will continue to ignore the ongoing protests and refuse to hold public meetings in the Civic where folks could distance and participate.  The Community needs to continue holding its own meetings (i.e. protests in the streets and using the public buildings as we need to))

Shows are NOT yet being archived at http://www.huffsantacruz.org/Lostshows.html  If you have technical savvy and want to help, call 831-423-4833.

REMINDER:   Free Radio Santa Cruz stands ready to dole out $300 for info leading to a 10′ X 10′ studio space with bathroom, internet, and electrical access–either indoors or out (we’ll build a structure).  We’re also seeking a transmitter space where we can put up an antenna–a backyard, a multistory home, a high tree–help us spread the word.   Help us so we can help you!
