textUAW, UC Administration Reach Tentative Agreement on Non-Discrimination by for UAW Local 2865
UC Unresponsive on other Proposals In our August 7-9 bargaining session, our union and the UC administration came to tentative agreement on the nondiscrimination article. In addition, the administration presented us with a proposal on posting which was unresponsive to our central concerns. We, on the other hand, presented them with our comprehensive health proposal. The administration continues to bargain at a glacial pace and employ obstructionist tactics to delay progress....

textEnd the Sleeping Ban - open letter to council by WM
The Jones v. City of Los Angeles decision in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that criminalization of homelessness amounted to cruel and unusual punishment. In the words of the judge writing the majority decision: "The Eighth Amendment prohibits the City from punishing involuntary sitting, lying, or sleeping on public sidewalks that is an unavoidable consequence of being human and homeless without shelter in the City of Los Angeles,"...

by ~Bradley
In response to an endless stream of tickets from police and rangers for illegal sleeping, Santa Cruz homeless people are now engaged in an ongoing protest against the sleeping ban. In the early morning of August 16th, over 30 people were sleeping on the hard bricks at City Hall. People have slept at City Hall, 809 Center Street, every night since August 12th to visualize their lack of a place to legally sleep. There are no plans to end the protest until people are allowed to legally sleep som...

textDevils on the Doorstep at Santa Cruz GDI, THIS FRIDAY! by Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In
Award-winning 2000 Chinese black comedy produced and directed by Jiang Wen, starring Jiang himself, set in the shadow of the Great Wall during the final months of the Japanese occupation. By turns incongruously hilarious and grotesquely shocking, it staggers the mind, a film of much complexity that will resonate with any thinking viewer....

Santa Cruz City Hall was the most recent location to be transformed into an outdoor movie theater by the Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In collective and guests. On August 12th, the Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In and Homeless United for Friendship and Freedom (HUFF) presented a special screening of Sir! No Sir!, David Zeiger's documentary chronicling the largely forgotten anti-war activities of American GIs and other members of the military during the Vietnam era. The screening was one of many activ...

Despite the fact that there is overwhelming vacant commercial space in Santa Cruz County, the "Community" Foundation of Santa Cruz has decided to build a shiny, brand-new office building in Aptos. Instead of building around the gorgeous landscape that defines the downtown Aptos area, they chose to tear down one of a few remaining very old Monterey Cypress trees. These pictures show the tearing down on this past Saturday of one of the most definitive trees in the area that was estimated to b...

On August 9th, I cautiously rode my bicycle to the intersection of Bay and Mission Streets. I was at this intersection two days ago for a memorial to John Myslin, however those of us there were unaware of his identity at that time. We now know that Mr. Myslin was loved by his students at Pacific Collegiate School in Santa Cruz where he was a devoted teacher of history, his favorite subject. John Myslin's younger brother Robert commented online that he will remember John as "a teacher, a bro...

August 6, 2007 Our union bargaining team met with the UC Administration Thursday and Friday, July 27 and 28. We had productive exchanges over several important topics. However, much more progress is needed for us to achieve our goal of getting a strong new contract by September 30 (the expiration date of the current contract).

textSIR! NO SIR! at Santa Cruz GDI Sunday (8/12) by Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In
Like something out of the most dystopian GDI sci-fi feature, the message is loud and clear, if you are not part of the system, you are a criminal. In this sleepy little liberal town, sleeping outside is a crime. Anyone who falls off of the treadmill of earn-and spend (by accident or choice) -- anyone who can't afford five, six, seven hundred dollar rents in Santa Cruz -- might well find themselves in jail. Beyond just an issue of boring old poverty (yes, we should do something about that, ...

8-7-07 A cyclist was run over and killed by a semi-truck turning right onto Bay towards campus from the westward lane of Mission Street. I was able to take these photos as I encountered this scene on my way to the UC Santa Cruz campus via bicycle, along the Bay Street bicycle lane. Bay street was blocked off and traffic was backed up on Mission. The body had already been removed, but the pool of blood is visible here. One can judge the configuration of the vehicles in the intersection h...
