Santa Cruz Indymedia | Arts + Action | Health, Housing, and Public Services | Police State and PrisonsKeeping Santa Cruz Weird: Is Drumming a Crime?
On September 10th, the City of Santa Cruz took measures trying to prevent the weekly gathering and drum circle in Parking Lot #4 alongside the Farmer's Market. New mesh fences and several police officers were not enough to prevent Raging Grannies and other free-thinkers from singing, playing instruments, sharing food and reclaiming an important community space under the trees. Police took surveillance photographs, passed out information, and harassed some people, but the drum beats and musical notes continued on for another week.  pat_9-10-08.jpg For more information, check out:
