For sleepy stragglers who haven’t heard the news, a few die-hard HUFFsters may be keeping company with the coffee pot to lend a listening ear to rumors and reports + take the pulse of victims of the latest police outrages.
Jacine—groundskeeper and librarian of the Sub Rosa Cafe at 703 Pacific next to the Bike Church—will likely have coffee available with some of the usual left-over delicacies possibly provided by HUFF loyalists. No guarantees though.

Encouraging news to chew on in the wake of the Supreme Court’s Grants Pass v. Johnson slamdown of the homeless right to live last summer. These stories aren’t new, but they be the harbinger of cooler weather for hot griddle attacks on homeless encampments:

Meanwhile, keep your eye on the Board of Supervisors, meeting perhaps next Tuesday with a possible rewritten blank check for “law enforcement” to seize and tow and/or destroy “abandoned” or illegally parked vehicles. The next meeting of this shifty group has shifted to Watsonville, presumably next Tuesday, but their agenda doesn’t usually come out until Friday.
Let us know if anyone’s raising the roof about the shutdown of MHCAN in spite of the funding that is available.
Updates and alerts can be posted on the Food Not Bombs bulletin board at the Saturday and Sunday meals noon-3 PM at the Town Clock.
It may still be helpful to provide sweep warnings to HUFF at 831-423-4833 and/or reports of inappropriate police, sheltersheriff, or other authoritarian behavior to the 831-216-8239 line.
