DESCRIPTION:Santa Cruz has a shelter emergency (declared officially repeatedly in the 
 90's and more pressing today than ever). \n\nThere is NO walk-in emergency 
 shelter tonight.  The City's new law makes the 4th unattended Sleeping Ban 
 ticket a possible misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail and $1000 
 fine.\n\nMayor Mike Rotkin had refused to consider attorney-activist Ed  
 Frey's proposal that police call the Homeless Service Center. [Go to 
 http://www.radiolibre.org/brb/brb100711.mp3 and fast forward past first 2/5 
 of the file for the Rotkin-Frey debate]  \n\nBefore harassing, citing, 
 arresting, or jailing homeless people under the Sleeping Ban we ask the 
 police to see if there is actually a shelter bed available.  If not, such 
 harassment is not only cruel but illegal and possibly criminal.\n\nSince 
 City officials have refused to lift the Sleeping Ban in parts of the city 
 to provide safe sleeping places, homeless people and their housed 
 supporters have done so themselves.  \n\nIn response, for the last three 
 weeks, folks have been Folks sleeping at the homeless-created Peace Camp 
 2010 on the steps of the Courthouse, where Frey and Paul Lee are providing 
 a portapotty.   \n\nDonations of prepared food and blankets are 
 welcome.\n\nLast night 55 people slept in the safe zone there.  The numbers 
 grew after city workers swept the Levy, confiscating and destroying 
 homeless property there.\n\nIn response, Peace Camp 2010 is going to City 
 Hall to speak to the community and demand City Council (a) end the Sleeping 
 Ban, and (b) declare an amnesty for all past Sleeping Ban citations.  They 
 are also seeking secure and sanitary camping areas.\n\nThere will be music 
 and merriment along with the serious purpose of the march.  All are 
 invited.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2010/07/26/18654725.php
