Today’s 7-19-20  show description will also be posted at http://huffsantacruz.org/wordpress/.  It and other shows are now again available on the huffsantacruz.org archives at http://www.huffsantacruz.org/Lostshows.html.  Sorry for the long delay, but the archives have been repaired!

The next City Council meeting (unless they announce a sudden 24-hour- notice-only “Special” session again as they did on July 2nd) will be the second Tuesday in August.  This–without extensive public protest will likely be a public-excluded (unless you have a tv or computer) meeting, again largely ignoring the Defund the Police demands made repeatedly at the last three Council sessions by an overwhelming majority of those calling in.  It’s likely only strong visible loud public protests may get the Council (and more important–the City’s) attention.   Look for announced protest times on line and from those you know.  FOLKS WILL BE GATHERING TOMORROW JULY 20TH AT 9 PM AT TOWN CLOCK FOR A DEFUND-THE-POLICE RALLY & DIRECT DIALOGUE WITH ALL POLITICIANS & POLICE WHO WANT TO ATTEND.
