DESCRIPTION:We have seen weeks of stepped up harassment downtown (Mayor Coonerty's 
 "crackdown").  Most recently Sgt. Harms and other blueshirts drove away 
 drummers from the Drum Circle next to the Farmer's Market on Wednesday 
 12-10. See \nhttp://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/12/03/18553519.php 
 \n\nOn Saturday morning, the annual but this year rather threadbare 
 merchant Xmas parade will come down Pacific Avenue.   \n\nDecember 6th will 
 continue as a day of "honoring" the 60th Anniversary of the UN Declaration 
 of Human Rights with an afternoon talk, music, and fiesta at the Louden 
 Nelson Center (free to all).\n\nTo return a little reality-based activity 
 to Pacific Avenue, HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & Freedom) and HRO 
 (the Human Rights Organization) will set up a table in front of Borders,  
 and do a Saturday evening Copwatch.\n\nAround 9:30 PM, in honor of the 
 Christian evangelist foodservers ticketed on November 13th (for providing 
 sandwiches and song to hungry poor people there), Jumbogumbo Joe Schultz 
 will ladle out a hot tasty vegan soup against the cold weather and colder 
 hearts of the Downtown Association,  Coonerty-Mathews City Council, and 
 SCPD.\n\nLater that night, we will challenge Santa Cruz to legalize outdoor 
 sleeping (95% of the homeless will be outside that night without shelter in 
 Santa Cruz) as Los Angeles, San Diego, Fresno, Richmond, and Palo Alto have 
 done.  We invite the community of housed and homeless people to join us, 
 either in their vehicles or outside.\n\nWarning: sleeping is illegal in 
 Santa Cruz after 11 PM at night, outside or in a vehicle.  lying down on 
 the sidewalk is illegal on Pacific Avenue 24 hours per day.\n\nOn Sunday 
 morning, Free Radio Santa Cruz will present Bathrobespierre's Broadsides--a 
 debate on civil liberties in Santa Cruz and up at UCSC as Councilmember 
 Mike Rotkin and others debate 9:30 AM - 10 PM on 101.1 FM 
 (www.freakradio.org).  Call-in at 831-427-3772.\n\nJoin us to do sentry 
 duty against abusive police behavior downtown Saturday night.  \n\nStand 
 with the homeless to restore the UN Declaration of Human Rights in Santa 
 Cruz: sleep out or stay awake with the homeless through the night.\n\nCall 
 in to report your experiences Sunday morning (8:30 AM-1 PM) on Free 
 Radio.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/12/04/18553665.php
