For those who want to help challenge landlord greed, check out 1612 Mission St. at noon today, when the Santa Cruz Tenants Organizing Committee [SCTOC] will be protesting and holding an auction after the landlord there advertised a room at one price, then threw applicants into a bidding war.  Suggested bids: Soul-crushing student Debt, Three People sleeping in My Living Room, etc.   The SCTOC meets again next Monday 6 PM 501 Mission St.

Following up on Freedom SleepOut #88 and the latest City Clownsel meeting where police-compliant Council members passed a toothless Sanctuary Ordinance that doesn’t provide real protection for undocumented aliens and certainly not local homeless refugees…HUFFsters may be preparing for a Meeting Tonight 7 PM at the SCPD “Community Room” to look over replacements for Chief Vogel who’s retiring in June, gearing up to meet with Council member Sandy Brown this Friday to get some answers to questions raised for her and Council member Krohn, prepping for a City-supported  “Homeless Info” get-together Saturday morning, SCPD’s latest attack on the Freedom Sleepers–refusing to return stolen survival gear; and more !    We got the coffee, you bring the courage !

Having received copies of all claim forms received by the City in the last year, HUFF will scour the records for signs of fishy police and bureaucratic bumbusting as well as consider complaints about shitty shower facilities for those outside and rumors of police overkill on Pacific Avenue Tuesday 3 PM in front of New Leaf.  Not to mention devising new schemes of holding police agencies and the city manager accountable for enabling the threat of mounting terrorism against both documented and undocumented homeless community.

We got coffee.  We even have cups.   If the Sub Rosa is closed, check for a sign on the front gate as to our new (temporarly) location.

On the agenda:  Report on last night’s SCPD-managed City Council meeting and Mayor Chase’s Muzzling of Krohn in the Weak Sanctuary Ordinance Deliberation; Flood Follies and Landlord Retaliation; Updates from MHCAN, Free Radio Santa Cruz, and other activistas, Reported Hypothermia Death of Mistfall Mike, Tenttheft in Cold Weather–the Lethal Shenanagans of the Parks and Rec Rangers; Lobo’s Plan to Save Survival Gear With HUFF stencils; and more….
