Eve Parade to see if it happens this year. It’s not formally scheduled
but has been a traditional event since 2006 or
earlier.
Contact Chief Mills at amills@cityofsantacruz.com

Hold
accountable City Hall NIMBY enablers at all public meetings: Former
Mayor Martine Watkins, New Mayor Justin Cummings, City Manager-for-Life
Martin
Bernal, His Wrecking Crew of Abuse Enablers Susie O’Hara and Megan
Bunch, Police Chief Andy Mills, & City Attorney Tony Condotti for
Inciting the Ross Camp Destruction, Subsequent Deaths, & the Friday
Nov 15th Demolition of Camp Phoenix (the renewed Deseire
Memorial Survival Encampment in back of Ross) with a campaign of lies
to the community regarding “adequate shelter options”.
Remember Deseire Quintero–Killed by City
Indifference, Negligence, and Malice in Closing the First Ross Camp
Without Any Adequate Shelter! Support Survival Campgrounds, Empty
Building Takeovers This Winter Wherever They Happen.
Take peaceful action to open up buildings
for Winter Shelter as well as an end to harassment citation of folks
surviving outside under “trespass on public property”, “closed area”,
“public nuisance” and “blocking the sidewalk”
pretexts;
Witness, oppose, and document police and
ranger harassment using “closed areas”, “blocking the sidewalk”, “public
nuisance”, “public trespass”, and “illegal lodging” to get around the
Boise v. Martin “No shelter? No tickets!” decision.
Demand City Manager “Mangler” Martin
Bernal and SCPD Police Chief “Ambushmaster” Andy Mills account for
their destruction of Camp Phoenix ignoring City Council’s required
Standard Operating Procedures for closing encampments
and violating their own admission that “trespass” could not be properly
applied to the survival sleepers
