HUFF will puff tomorrow as usual, Sub Rosa, 11 AM come rain or shine.
I’ll be making the HUFF meet tomorrow (1-20) with a review of the Homeless Names of the Dead from the last decade, a look-in at the Eureka situation, a HUFF take on the proposed partial elimination of the survival sleeping ban, the latest iteration of the Homeless Bill of Rights…and more…plus coffee and clamor, as well as the latest from the restless Freedom Sleepers, fresh from their Sleep #28 !
HUFF swims to another meeting today Wednesday 1-6 at the Sub Rosa–11 AM
Likely to be discussed: Legislature and San Jose’s “support managed encampments” proposed funding; Sleeping Ban reform discussion at City Council this month or next?; Direction Action Protest to Expose Driving Homeless People Out Into the Rain; a Lookback at 2015…and whatever falls out…
HUFF still slurpin’ coffee Wednesday morning 12-30 11 AM at ye olde Sub Rosa Cafe
On the HUFF horizon: DIY New Year’s Eve parade and promenade Friday evening; reinvigorating demands for SCPD reform in Santa Cruz in the wake of mainstream media reports of police/prosecution/mayoral murder and cover-up in San Francisco, Palo Alto, Minneapolis, Chicago, Ohio, and Missouri; Warming Center Whiplash: Alternatives to Hypothermia when no Program is in Place; Report from Freedom SleepOut #25…and, of course, more than you want and less than you hoped for…
HUFF Shouts Humbug at City Council’s Xmas Chilly Cheer 11 AM 12-23 Sub rosa Cafe
Any chance to make the City Council Sinners Repent? Not likely. Legal Leapabout: Attorney Judi Bari may be up for helping follow up on illegal seizures of homeless property; a review of the year’s abuses and victories. Reports of violence attacks on the homeless. The latest chapter on the Lane-Posner “real soon we’ll put the Sleeping Ban on the agenda”. Xmas treats.
HUFF: Come in out of the Cold to Sub Rosa 11 AM Wednesday 11-25-15
Coffee and chat at HUFF tomorrow (11-25) as we view remains of the wreckage from City Council’s ‘decisions’ on the Warming Center, the “No Homeless RV’s law, and the aftermath of Freedom SleepOut #20. Also on the agenda: the California Rural Legal Assistance Lawsuit Against the Manteca Sleeping Ban; Berkeley’s Ongoing SleepOut Outside City Hall, New Strategies of Survival and Resistance as Winter Descends…
HUFF ‘n Stuff will brave the mid-day cold to huddle together tomorrow 11-11 at 11 a.m. (!) at the Sub Rosa
HUFF agenda is likely to be brooding over:
+++ Berkeley’s Upcoming SleepOut on 11-16 and the Berkeley City Council meeting’s planned attack on the homeless (See http://www.thestreetspirit.
+++ The on-going struggle to focus federal attention via the DOJ and HUD oversight to finally force City Council to pay attention to basic homeless survival rights this winter before the suffering toll grows from El Nino.
+++ Support for other allied student and community struggles (Tuition/Police Abuse by UCSC activists, the Beach Flats Community Garden by activists there, Tenant organizing).
+++ Transformed Support for the Freedom Sleepers Movement to account for freezing and wet weather ahead.
