Tuesday night will be the 34th Community Sleep Out with a web page at http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/244215129245260\/?active_tab=posts<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Second-hand accounts suggest lead Freedom Sleeper Troubleshooter Toby Nixon has invited numerous street musicians and performers to join the Sleep-Out.<\/p>\n

It begins Tuesday afternoon and runs through a modest coffee breakfast on Wednesday morning. Activists and participants are invited, as ever, to quaff a second (and third) cup of coffee at the Sub Rosa Cafe at 11 AM<\/span><\/span> while discussing other actions fighting homeless discrimination in Santa Cruz.<\/p>\n

ACTIVISTS INVITED TO WEIGH IN ON PROPOSED LAW CHANGES AS WELL AS PLAN FUTURE STRATEGY<\/p>\n

A proposed revision of the Camping Ordinance, eliminating sleeping as a crime, but maintaining a ban against laying out bedding (i.e. covering up with blankets or in a bag), has aroused skepticism and controversy among activists.<\/p>\n

Councilmember Don Lane’s amendments are due to hit City Council on March 8th<\/span><\/span> at the same time Freedom Sleepers celebrate their 35th week outside. Food Not Bombs activist Keith McHenry has promised to serve food at that event, braving a hostile City Council and city staff.<\/p>\n

HUff old-timer Robert Norse has arranged with Councilmember
\nPosner to air concerns and suggest future actions 11 AM<\/span><\/span> Thursday March 3<\/span><\/span> at City Hall (Councilmember’s offices).<\/p>\n

Norse interviewed Posner for Free Radio last Sunday. It’s archived at http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/244215129245260\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n

Steve Pleich has written a defense of the proposed ordinance and general survey of surrounding activism at http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/CFABSC2\/<\/a> .<\/p>\n

ANTI-HOMELESS BIGOTRY RAGES UNABATED
\nCounty Supervipers will join the City Council homeless hate gang March 8<\/span><\/span> in a final reading of a County-wide anti-homeless RV measures: http:\/\/www.santacruzsentinel.com\/government-and-politics\/20160223\/santa-cruz-county-supervisors-ticket-rvs-parked-overnight<\/a><\/p>\n

The City Council passed its own “no RV parking at night law without a permit” (and homeless folks are not permitted to get permits even if Santa Cruz is their long-term home) last fall. Please pass on reports of harassment and ticketing to HUFF at 423-4833.<\/p>\n

ELSEWHERE<\/p>\n

San Francisco homeless continue to resist bigotry-based sweeps on their only housing–tents and bags. See http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/USA\/Society\/2016\/0226\/Tent-city-evictions-highlight-San-Francisco-s-homelessness-problem-video<\/a> .<\/p>\n

There is no indication that Vancouver, WA, in spite of heavy negative criticism from the Oregonian has stepped back from its decision to allow nighttime camping, given the shelter emergency.
