HUFF Agenda Suggestions
7-8-20
Start at 11 AM
Coffee Free Meeting in Courtyard not Indoors.
With City Council and the powerful City Manager refusing to respond to three separate calls for defunding our overamped police. Two regular June Council meetings had an overwhelming majority of voices at the Oral Communications period calling for fundamental change—and that was repeated last Thursday June2nd at the contrived “Special Meeting”. Public protest demanding these changes was shown by the five and a half hour long protest and march from the Town Clock to the Boardwalk and back.

More important hit the streets to make real change!
(A useless Zoomed City Council meeting on 6-23 ignored the strong demands to defund the SCPD. It proceeded with the usual prefabricated agenda involving no meaningful checks on current police use of force and violence. The real budget meeting was on July 2nd. Without strong loud community response beyond the sterile and City Manager-controlled confines of City Hall, City Council will continue to ignore the ongoing protests and refuse to hold public meetings in the Civic where folks could distance and participate. The Community needs to continue holding its own meetings (i.e. protests in the streets and using the public buildings as we need to))
Shows are NOT yet being archived at http://www.huffsantacruz.org/Lostshows.html If you have technical savvy and want to help, call 831-423-4833.
