\nMeanwhile in Santa Cruz, we are preparing our next daytime\/nighttime Sleep Protest at City Hall for Tuesday August 11th<\/span><\/span>–when the City Council returns from its restful vacation.\u00a0\u00a0 Folks are invited to wear Sleepware and cast a few yawns of wisdom at the Council during the 5 PM<\/span><\/span> Oral Communications period.\u00a0 More info on the SleepOut (#5 in a continuing series) on www.indybay.org\/santacruz<\/a>\u00a0 shortly.
\nHomeless people–even an elderly disabled woman with a service dog–continue to be harassed and ticketed for Sleepcrime when Santa Cruz has no shelter for 95% of its homeless.\u00a0 Food services at the Homeless (Lack of) Services Center continue to be a preserve of those “in programs” with “a pathway to housing”\u00a0 (whatever that means).
\nAdditionally HUFF was told this week that so-called emergency medical providers like Dominican Hospital, Emeline, and Planned Parenthood turned away a homeless woman recently raped in search of medical examination, advice, and treatment.\u00a0 Please report difficulties you or homeless friends are having obtaining services–the more specific the information, the better.<\/p>\n
