HUFF Stumbles On–Sub Rosa 8-12 11 AM

Posted on by

In the aftermath of the latest SleepOut at City Hall (and SpeakOut to City Council), we’ll consider HUFFish next steps to hold particular departments accountable for their latest attacks on the homeless–either with 24 Hour Parking Ban near the Homeless Way Lack of Services Center, the proposed RV parking ban city-wide, the missing 24 hour bathroom (Locust St. remains closed at night), national solidarity with police abuse in Ferguson (Black Lives Still Matter…as do Homeless Lives).

If Sub Rosa is closed, retire to the Cafe Pergolesi–but wait until at least 11:15 p.m. before giving up on Sub Rosa.

Coffee is likely to be there and drinkable as usual.

HUFF at mid-Summer: Still scheming sleepouts and sipping coffee 11 AM 8-5 Sub Rosa

Bubbling up in the HUFF cauldron this time:   Police High Command Orders and Procedures Around Stay-Away Law; Supporting the Sunday SleepOut?, The Tuesday Day-and-Night Sleep-About at City Hall with the Freedom Sleepers; Dogging Disability Discrimination; The latest Ha-ha from the Homeless (Lack of) Services Center on their Admission Policies…and whatever blowsin the door…

HUFFing Again! 11 AM 7-22 Wednesday at the Sub Rosa!

Looks like another HUFF hoedown at the Sub Rosa with a focus on the ongoing Community Campout, which is informally slated to kick off another Sunday night at City Hall (or perhaps a mystery spot TBA!).    Reports will be coming on the latest ticketeer-monitors who are talleying up the many anti-homeless P & R cites for the last few months.  We’ll be discussing daytime actions at City Hall to hold the City accountable and expose ongoing anti-homeless schemes–like the “No Parking for the Poor” program near the now closed-to-the-general-homeless-population Homeless (Lack of) Services Center.   Also up on the agenda, Panhandling for the Povertypimps–the latest “give us the cash while we cut services” plans of Claudia Brown and the HLOSC directors…  And more on UCSC homeless organizing as well…   All this and java to sip!

HUFF again Wednesday 11 AM Sub Rosa 7-15

Devoted HUFFsters have been gathering P & R info around Stay-Away’s and harassment infraction tickets;  the immiseration scene downtown and around the town has increased with the shutting down of services at Coral St., Campout #2 is coming up this Sunday at the Main Post Office.  Discussion coming up of what to do to pry loose important information from the City Staff.  Non-lethal forms of protest to draw attention without resulting necessarily in tickets.  Talk and maybe some action…along with cups of coffee and the occasional crunchable.

HUFF puffs on Wednesday 11 AM at Sub Rosa (or Cafe Pergo if S.R. closed)

HUFF will be chatting and chugging about the implications of the one-night sleepout, homeless participation and expectations, closing in on City Council staff to get hard answers, and documenting hard data on recent homelessness citations (currently gathering dust at City Hall).  Rumor is there’ll be coffee available.

HUFF chugs along tomorrow 7-1-15 at the same Sub Rosa Station…

Looming is the  “Homeless Lives Matter”  Community Camp kickoff on July 4th 6:30PM on the sidewalk next to the main Post Office.     Paul Lee loft closed “for a week” yesterday.   As did meals and presumably showers, shitter, and laundry for the “not in programs” homeless.  No budget yet or other clear answers.   What will HUFF’s role be in this “rolling campout”?  Chat, scheme, organize!

HUFF into the Fray: Sub Rosa 11 AM Tomorrow June 17 at 703 Pacific

HUFF:  Lots of activist talk about the June28 CampOut coming up–which should take up a chunk of the meeting; we’ll be looking for clearer info on the Homeless (Lack of) Services Budget, the Fate of the 24 Hour Parking Ban near Coral St., and organizing for the Emergency Breakfast Thursday at Hiway 1 and 9 as well as the Project Pollinate Duck Pond Event This Saturday.  Join the gang!  Coffee should stimulate the proceedings!

HUFF does it’s thing Wednesday June 10th 11 AM at Sub Rosa (or Cafe Pergo if Rosa Closed)

HUFF will go through its usual shit (hopefully with more bathrooms on the way) at the usual place (Sub Rosa), but we haven’t secured clear indication that they’ll be open.  If not, come to the Cafe Pergolesi.

On the HUFF agenda:  City Council budget aftermath and County budget upcoming…The Encampment Proposal of FNB/Camp of Last Resort/& Other Activists…New police records on contracts they have…In Search of Cell Phones, Our Own Media, and Streetwatch!…with coffee and crunchables!

HUFF chugs on: Probably at Sub Rosa 11 AM 5-27

I’m told Sub Rosa at 703 Pacific will be open and serving coffee to thirsty HUFFsters tomorrow morning.

ON MY AGENDA:   Threatened closing of meals and shelter at the Homeless (Lack of) Services Center through loss of state money, announced by Director Jannan Thomas at City Council tonight…Behind-the-Scenes Backstab–the 24 Hour Parking Ban Moves Forward…Cell Phone Protection for Those Outside?–Updates and Prospects…Police Mayhem Murderers Go Free in Cleveland–Police Reform in Santa Cruz…and whatever the tide washes in…
