Tree-sit Continues As UCSC Seeks A Court Order To End The Demonstration 
A tree-sit on Science Hill at UC Santa Cruz is entering its third month since it began on November 7th, 2007, as a protest against UCSC's 2005 Long Range Development Plan (LRDP). The tree-sit has opened up a social space, both below and beyond the trees, for students and community members to visualize their contempt for the LRDP and solidarity with the county-wide movement to limit university expansion. In response, the university is seeking a court order to prohibit the tree-sit and all acti...

Drum Circle and Food Not Bombs at Santa Cruz Farmers Market 
The Wednesday afternoon of August 15th, 2007, seemed like a typical day at the Santa Cruz Farmers Market. Farmers, or their employees, were busy selling fruits and vegetables grown in the Monterey Bay Area, and throughout California. Meanwhile, customers of the market and other folks gathered in the parking lot alongside the market to share vegetarian food and enjoy the music of a community drum circle. Unfortunately, this traditional weekly community gathering has recently been repressed by ...

Mayor Coonerty Dismissed Call for Homeless Shelter During LBAM Spraying In spite of a City Council lawsuit, and various public statements, City Council members approached by homeless activists--Mayor Ryan Coonerty and Councilmember Tony Madrigal, have refused to commit themselves to providing emergency shelter for homeless people if and when LBAM spraying resumes. The word "homeless" apparently didn't enter into the after-midnight proposal by Councilmember Madrigal at the last Council meeting to establish a Task Force on the issue....

Santa Cruz wind trees (video/quicktime 3.3MB) Everyone in northern California noticed a large windstorm starting Thursday January 3rd, so the experience was not unique. In Santa Cruz, my first thought was to check how the two month old redwoods tree-sit conducted in protest of the Long Range Development Plan at UC Santa Cruz were doing. This style of protest uses a lot of personal commitment, and the wind gusts might pose one of the greatest risks of the endeavor so far....

The new merchant-backed law prohibits lingering in a parking lot or garage unless you have a vehicle there (and then only for fifteen minutes). It removed ten blocks of public space from public use....

SCPD Covering Up False Police Report From Councilmember Mike Rotkin? The following correspondence between me and Trisha Husome, Records Keeper of the Santa Cruz Police Department shows their reluctance to release a public record documenting Councilmember Mike Rotkin's inappropriate call to the SCPD in order to demand my arrest for merely attending a public ACLU meeting with a sign.
