DESCRIPTION:Community meeting of homeless folks, their supporters, and those outraged 
 at Friday's court decision making sleeping downtown a jailing crime for 
 Anna Richardson and Miguel de Leon.\n\nThe impact of the decision expands 
 far beyond these two, since there are 1500-2000 homeless in Santa Cruz of 
 whom less than 10% have shelter throughout the summer.\n\nThey face $97 
 citations, police harassment, theft and destruction of their property, and 
 discrimination.\n\nEducatiional protest was recently successful in 
 restoring a positive relationship between Jack's (the hamburger joint next 
 to the Nickelodeon) and the homeless community after numerous complaints of 
 discrimination there.   \n\nSolidarity in resisting the police attack on 
 the Farmer's Market Drum Circle has kept it going every Wednesday.\n\nThe 
 Sleeping Ban was abolished in Los Angeles, San Diego, Richmond, and Laguna 
 Beach.  If redneck and yuppie communities can act reasonably towards the 
 homeless, Santa Cruz can be persuaded to do the same.\n\nSince the Downtown 
 Association and their proxies on City Council (Robinson, Coonerty, 
 Matthews) has been leading the crackdown on the homeless, it's time to 
 "crack back".\n\nDon't crack up, get crackin' !   Come on down and help 
 organize!\n\nMore info on this situation at
