HUFF Recovers From Latest Council Assault 11 AM Today 11-19 Sub Rosa

Huddling together against the growing cold, HUFF will attempt to light a warming fire as nights grow colder and the chance of rain increases.
Some possible topics:  Responses to the new Performance Pens and Stay Away Orders.  Another look at the Homeless (Lack of) Services Center.  One-Day Charity Meet Returns to the Veteran’s Hall on Thanksgiving.  Response to the RV Threat.   Nasty Santa Cruz Neighbors Meet Tonight.
And Whatever Else Wanders In…  Come one, come all.

HUFF Toddles On! Wednesday 11-12 11AM Sub Rosa Cafe

HUFF discusses picking up the cudgels for Small Claims Court action to end the Sleeping Ban and restore basic Human Rights for Homeless Folks; plots a return to the City Attorney’s Office to demand disability allowances for those crippled by the Move Along law; considers another go-around with City Council on 11-18 when Stay-Away orders and Performer Pens get a final vote.   Among cups of coffee and dropping temperatures outside.   If you can’t come, give us a call to help!  423-4833.

Drown Your Post Election Sorrows in HUFFland 11 AM 11-5 Sub Rosa 703 Pacific

With simultaneous events going on at UCSC (Volunteer Fair) and Watsonville (Project Homeless Connect) where HUFF is tabling in search of volunteers and contacts, I predict a scaled down meeting.   Still, Baldwin Park attorney Paul Cook will be rolling through town next Monday and offering to help train people in filing Small Claims Court claims.   We’ll be following up on the “Performance Pens” coming up at City Council next Tuesday, sending out symbolic support to homeless activists and foodservers being harassed in For Lauderdale, FL, and planning a HUFF-in at the City Attorney’s office to get a written “yes” or “no” to “Push Back” Pat Colby’s request for a disability dispensation to the Move Along law on the mall.  Make it if you can.  We’ll supply the coffee and the cranky.

HUFF resumes drinking and debating 11 AM Wednesday 10-22 703 Pacific

HUFF is doing its thing again tomorrow–looking forward to adding a little Truth Through Sarcasm at the next City Council meeting which may be (a) criminalizing people in the parks for up to a year without trial, and (b) setting up the promised performer cages on Pacific Avenue.  I’ll also be seeking volunteers for an End Police State in Santa Cruz protest at Center and Laurel at 2 PM.   We’ll be reviewing the latest contortions of the City Attorney’s office around the Camping Ban.  And more!

HUFF sings–rain or shine. 11 AM 10-15 Sub Rosa 703 Pacific

HUFFsters meet and greet chatting about  The Great Park Pagrom (City Council Votes 1 Year Stay-Away Orders Without Benefit of Court); Another Keep ‘Em Honest Records Check at City Hall after the Meeting or a Day Later; Upcoming:  Going Dotty on Pacific Avenue–the Upcoming Performance Cages; and numerous other bits and pieces I’m too tired to sort out at this moment…  Come on down and check ’em out!

HUFF preps for possible protest: 11-1 PM Sub Rosa Cafe 703 Pacific

HUFF Meeting at 9-24-14

In the wake of last Wednesday’s small but successful “Cop Corner” demo (See https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2014/09/17/18761766.php ), some HUFFsters are hoping for a renewed effort tomorrow while simultaneously (or previously) viewing stats on race classifications of the citations Barnett has given out downtown.  Other concerns: the new possible class action lawsuit by Bary, Leonard, and Pleich against homeless property theft by police and other groups, defense of the Circles Church against Permit Parking, a 2nd look at the City’s last minute attack on the Mime Troupe last month, city stonewalling on its “we dismiss citations if you’re on the Waiting List” law (MC 636.055), World Homelessness Day confab on October 10th…and more!   No need to bring cups or coffee, perhaps even cream will be available!

PLEASE E-MAIL US YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHETHER YOU ARE AVAILABLE TO PROTEST ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON 2-4 AT LAUREL AND PACIFIC….AND…IF YOU THINK THIS KIND OF PROTEST IS SOMETHING YOU BELIEVE HUFF SHOULD BE DOING.
Thanks,  Robert Norse
