 seenthrough the work of artists from Dorothea Lange, Rockwell Kent and 
 Fritz Eichenberg to contemporary artists Kiki Smith, Eric Drooker, Jos 
 Sances, David Bacon and local artist Francisco Dominguez.   \n\nThere will 
 be a Power Point Presentation & Book Signing by author, Art Hazelwood, with 
 special guest speaker Shaka Curry of SAFEGROUND.  \n \nHobos to Street 
 People  is a touring exhibition that originated in San Francisco in 2008 
 and is currently on view through December 4, 2011 at the de Saisset Museum 
 Santa Clara University.  \n\nThis event takes place as the police, the 
 servants of Wall Street and the corporatocracy, in Sacramento, Oakland and 
 across the nation are using park curfew, loitering and anti-homeless 
 ordinances to brutally repress the Occupy Wall Street protests in violation 
 of the Constitution and the First Amendment.\n\nTwenty Occupy Sacramento 
 demonstrators who were arrested on the first day of the occupation Oct. 6 
 made their first court appearance this morning at Sacramento Superior 
 Courthouse (720 9th St.). 79 have been arrested, in a gross violation of 
 their First Amendment rights, at Occupy Sacramento since Oct. 6. 
 \n\nPro-bono lawyers representing Occupy Sacramento postponed the cases 
 until November 3 to give the defense attorneys a chance to analyze the 
 court filings. \n\nMark Merin, Jeff Kravitz and other lawyers discussed a 
 possible lawsuit against the City of Sacramento against the city's 
 violation of protesters' First Amendment rights in a press conference held 
 at Cesar Chavez park on Monday. \n\n"The unlawful assembly charge is a 
 police or city-created crime. It cannot prevail in court," said civil 
 rights attorney Jeff Kravitz early Monday when he appeared with other pro 
 bono lawyers. He predicted the DA would not go forward with the charges, 
 and later Monday the DA confirmed it.\n\nDistrict Attorney Jan Scully said 
 she would not prosecute the people because no crime was committed, but the 
 City Attorney has chosen to prosecute the protesters on "curfew" and 
 "loitering" violations. \n \nTonight's event is *FREE.  \n\n*Donations are 
 welcome to cover transportation costs for the author traveling from the bay 
 area.  Any additional funds  raised will be donated to SAFEGROUND.\n\nThe
