\n| There have been six months of largely closed-to-public-comment “hearings” by this group personally chosen without public input or homeless representation by Mayor Hillary Bryant in response to pressure from homeless-hostile groups: Ken Collins’ Clean-‘Em-Out Team, Pamela Comstock’s Take Over Santa Cruz, and Lynn Robinson’s Santa Cruz NIMBY Neighbors.<\/p>\n A pre-selected group with a pre-fabricated agenda has kidnapped the label of “Public Safety” to demonize homeless illegal drug users and homeless people generally.<\/p>\n Now their “investigation” and “research” with the usual conclusions of more police, harsher jail time for life-sustaining behavior like survival camping, and amped up Drug Prohibition is ready for ratification by incoming Mayor-to-be Lynn Robinson and her cabal of frightened or complacent politicians.<\/p>\n Speaking truth to this dank den may not be the most pleasant task, but the community needs to hear it.<\/p>\n Bring sleeping bags, signs, musical instruments, friends, and warm blankets.<\/p>\n Hot vegan food will be provided by JumboGumbo Joe Schultz.<\/p>\n We will have a speak-out to decide on next steps to address the callous crackdown and upcoming freezing winter weather.<\/p>\n Subsequent actions later that night will be decided then.<\/p>\n Sleeping or covering up with blankets is a crime in Santa Cruz after 11 PM.<\/p>\n It is illegal to be on the grounds of City Hall with a protest sign after City Council closes its meeting.<\/p>\n There is shelter each night for less than 5% of the City’s unhoused population.<\/p>\n These facts tell the tale.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Title: Confront Task Farce Hysteria Against the Homeless START DATE: Tuesday December 03 TIME: 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM Location Details: Outside City Hall Chambers in Santa Cruz 809 Center St. Event Type: Protest Contact Name Robert Norse Email … Continue reading →<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18],"tags":[3,60,14],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1445"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1446,"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1445\/revisions\/1446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/huffsantacruz.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
