HUFF meets today (Wednesday 9-30) in support of the growing resistance to the threatened uprooting of Food Not Bombs and the demolition of nearby survival camps

Posted on by

​HUFF will be doing its weekly coffee-and-combustion get together today at 11 AM in the Sub Rosa Courtyard with the following likely top topics:

  • Defense of FNB and the Adjacent Camps (see “Growing Resistance to City Manager’s Camp & FNB Sweep Threats” at https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2020/09/30/18837186.php
  • Defending RV’s under attack: the fallout from City Council’s latest surrender to Bigotry in its attack on Alica Kuhl’s vehicular community.
  • Reports on the reduction or shutoff of resources to Motel COVID-threatened residents, the proposed County Camp closing, & other camp removals throughout the City

Bathrobespierre’s Broadsides archived & netcast 9:30 AM-3 PM today September 27, 2020 Food Not Bombs Again Under Attack, City Council Delays Library Burial, Ousts RV Parking, Seaside’s RV dweller Anton Hunger…-Flashbacks to January 1992

Summary descriptions of current and earlier shows after mid-November 2017 are posted at http://huffsantacruz.org/wordpress/ .  Earlier descriptions (back to 2005) are often available at http://www.huffsantacruz.org/brb-descriptions.html .  A listing of where flashbacks to earlier times can be found will soon be available.



City Council continues to defy the demands of the Community regarding police defunding to curb police violence, discrimination, homeless harassment, and overspending.  It had NOTHING on its agenda regarding shifting funds to non-violent alternatives and has no scheduled budget hearings on the bloated police budget or anything else–things being left in the hands of the City Manager and staff.  While the library scam was delayed for several weeks thanks to community pressure, the Transportation and Public Works Commission’s 5-2 vote supporting Alicia Kuhl’s independent safe RV parking group was overturned by a 6-1 vote after a bigoted narrative in an organized well-spoken hate-the-homeless Take Back Santa Cruz-themed campaign without any statistical substantiation from police or discussion of the Commission’s vote.

The D.A. and the SCPD have still not dropped inflated and groundless charges against MARTY MIRABEL (“PIRATE”) for defending his friend Ben’s vehicular home from a massive police raid in violation of CDC “shelter-in-place” guidelines.   After a gang of nearly a dozen officers surrounded him and slammed Marty to the ground, police continue to cite and harass Ben in spite of the CDC requirements and the Martin v. Boise decision prohibiting such official terrorism.  No new news on this situation
Expanded motel access for some of the vulnerable homelessness hasn’t stopped Assistant City Mangler Susie O’Hara and her loyal confederate Megan Bunch from spreading their standard stories about “shelter alternatives” that do not either meaningfully or physically exist for folks being displaced.  Rather there are waiting lists and unhealthy group shelters (for some).  Food to those in the few hotels made available is reportedly being cut back.  There are no protected areas set aside for the toxic air quality alerts, the smoke danger, and cooling functions–particularly impactful of those outside, and of the broader community–given the COVID-19 pandemic.  Dangerous COVID-19 vulnerable group shelters at the Vet’s Hall, Armory, “Housing Smatters” Paul Lee Loft, and Laurel St. continue to be the main “go to” for police”  as a warehousing “alternative” when they threaten the visually “undesireable” outdoor camps. 

Those camps–in the Pogonip, along and under Hiway 1, along the levee, continue to be starved of resources like porapotties, wash stations, and trash pick-up’s and are now under threat of removal.  City Mangler Martin Bernal’s Bumbuster Police, Rangers, and Public Works crews seem to be removing or reducing previous COVID-19 “emergency” accommodations in defiance of public health needs.   Encampments along the San Lorenzo pathway near the Broadway bridge and along Hiway 1 at River St.  which multiplied exponentially after the City and County created more refugees by displacing the larger Benchlands encampment with their own show County-run encampment there. 

No indication that vendors on Beach St. have been invited to resume their family-sustaining sidewalk businesses down near the Boardwalk.

City Council continues to defy the demands of the Community regarding police defunding to curb police violence, discrimination, homeless harassment, and overspending.  It has NOTHING on its agenda regarding shifting funds to non-violent alternatives.  Item #20 attempts to veto its own Commission report defending the shelter-in-place needs of van-dwellers on Olive St. 

The D.A. and the SCPD have still not dropped inflated and groundless charges against MARTY MIRABEL (“PIRATE”) for defending his friend Ben’s vehicular home from a massive police raid in violation of CDC “shelter-in-place” guidelines.   After a gang of nearly a dozen officers surrounded him and slammed Marty to the ground, police continue to cite and harass Ben in spite of the CDC requirements and the Martin v. Boise decision prohibiting such official terrorism.

While six motels have reportedly  been funded to assist some of the vulnerable houseless, many more remain half-empty.  There are no indoor areas set aside for the toxic air quality alerts, the smoke danger, and cooling functions–particularly impactful of those outside, and of the broader community–given the COVID-19 pandemic.  Dangerous COVID-19 vulnerable group shelters at the Vet’s Hall, Armory, “Housing Mumblings” Paul Lee Loft, and Laurel St. continue to be the main “go to” for police”  as a warehousing “alternative” when they threaten the visually “undesireable” outdoor camps. 

Those camps–in the Pogonip, along and under Hiway 1, along the levee, continue to be starved of resources like porapotties, wash stations, and trash pick-up’s.  City Manager Martin Bernal’s Bumbuster Police, Rangers, and Public Works crews seem to be removing or reducing previous COVID-19 “emergency” accommodations in defiance of public health needs.   Encampments along the San Lorenzo pathway near the Broadway bridge and along Hiway 1 at River St. have multiplied exponentially after the City and County created more refugees with their show-encampment in the Benchlands, running off the larger camp that was there in a repetition of earlier homeless dispersals.  Food to those in the few hotels made available is reportedly being cut back.

No indication that vendors on Beach St. have been invited to resume their family-sustaining sidewalk businesses down near the Boardwalk.

City Council defied the Defund the Police demands made repeatedly at the last three Council sessions & direct action protests outside their homes by accepting at $750,000 federal grant for more SCPD enforcement (2 “Community Service” Officers) targeting minors and tobacco sellers.  More expensive and repressive drug war and more powers to an unrestrained local police force that is neither transparent, accountable, nor a peace force. No change or discussion happened at the September 8th City Council.  None is planned.

The D.A. and the SCPD have not dropped inflated and groundless felony charges against MARTY MIRABEL (“PIRATE”) for defending his friend Ben’s vehicular home from a massive police raid in violation of CDC “shelter-in-place” guidelines.   Police continue to cite and harass Ben in spite of the CDC requirements and the Martin v. Boise decision prohibiting such official terrorism.

Optimists report six motels have been funded to assist some of the vulnerable houseless, but there are no indoor areas set aside for the toxic air quality alerts, the smoke danger, and cooling functions–particularly impactful of those outside.  Dangerous COVID-19 vulnerable group shelters at the Vet’s Hall, Armory, “Housing Mumblings” Paul Lee Loft, and Laurel St. continue to be the main “go to” for police”  as an “alternative” when they threaten camps. 

Encampments along the San Lorenzo pathway near the Broadway bridge and along Hiway 1 at River St. have multiplied exponentially, without any expanded resources such as portapotties or wash stations.  Mixed reports indicate the typical “emergency shelter” discrimination at the evacuation refugee camps favoring recently arrived middle class homeless against more impoverished long-term local unhoused folks.

No indication that vendors on Beach St. have been invited to resume their family-sustaining sidewalk businesses down near the Boardwalk.
