Event Type:<\/b><\/td>\nProtest<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A series of protests is slated for this Tuesday.<\/p>\n

2 PM<\/span><\/span> Before City Council opens, folks will gather in front of the chambers to conduct their own speak-out linking up the various issues: militarization of the police, crackdown at City Council, and exponentially heightened harassment of the homeless.<\/p>\n

2:45 PM<\/span><\/span> Approximate time for the Dreadful Decorum Dictates to come up on City Council. These are described at http:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2015\/01\/09\/18766602.php<\/a> (“Council Armors Up”). The anti-BEARCAT protest will also begin around 3 PM<\/span><\/span> (See “PROTEST NEW ANTI-HOMELESS LAW AND URBAN ASSAULT VEHICLE” at http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/377910239000830\/<\/a> & “Free Santa Cruz” at http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/327222137463931\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

4:45 PM<\/span><\/span> Rally before 5 PM<\/span><\/span> Oral Communications where each will be allowed 2-3 minutes, likely to be heavily filled with community members outraged at the Council’s December 9th<\/span><\/span> rubberstamping of the BEARCAT armored personnel ‘rescue’ vehicle.<\/p>\n

7:30 PM<\/span><\/span> or thereabouts (come earlier to be sure). The latest terror tactics designed to frighten away homeless people with the threat of jail if they return to park areas after being given infraction tickets for life-sustaining behavior such as sleeping.
\nSee “Stay Away Stupidity…” at http:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2014\/11\/24\/18764553.php<\/a><\/p>\n

The new wording of the ordinance is at http:\/\/scsire.cityofsantacruz.com\/sirepub\/cache\/2\/e5y2okfjeqxksdpkhmfsya0i\/396073312092014110820380.PDF<\/a> . Or go to http:\/\/scsire.cityofsantacruz.com\/sirepub\/mtgviewer.aspx?meetid=574&doctype=AGENDA<\/a> and click on item #18.<\/p>\n

10 PM<\/span><\/span> (or whenever the Council meeting ends into the evening) Speak out and possible Sleep-out at City Hall. City hall grounds unconstitutionally close to the public at night, so the assembly may happen on the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

Bring video, warm blankets and sleeping bags, thermos of coffee, vehicles to stay warm in, tents, and friends and whatever else occurs to you.<\/p>\n

The protest will last as long as folks choose to stay.<\/p>\n

The homeless right to sleep, rest, stand, sit, and otherwise engage in standard human behaviors in public spaces is under serious assault–both with the Stay-Away orders and the escalation of Sleeping Ban and other harassment citations.<\/p>\n

As winter continues, there are no reliable regular warming centers. All we can see is massive increase in abusive policing–even as the nationwide anger against police violence grows.<\/p>\n

Silence kills.
