DESCRIPTION:Please join us in community as we express our sadness and outrage at this 
 campaign of harassment of those who're the most vulnerable. \n\nWe will 
 gather at City Hall at 7pm, Friday Sept. 7th\n\nWe will hold a circle and 
 share some thoughts before we slowly walk together through town carrying 
 candles and lofting tents above our heads. We'll traverse Pacific Ave, then 
 visit the river levee and then back to City Hall. \n\nWe expect to have 
 dixie cup hooded candles but please bring flashlights and tents if you have 
 them.\n\nThis is the first step in a new multi-tiered campaign to address 
 the city's criminalization of outside night sleep. \nWe welcome you to join 
 us.\n\n\nThe City of Santa Cruz has been using the SCPD & the City Parks 
 Dept. to attack homeless camps. \n\nWe are in the 7th week of this campaign 
 that has seen more than 300 citations given, more than 100 camps destroyed 
 and personal belongings trashed and more than 150 arrests.\n\nWhile the 
 Homeless Services Center has closed the Paul Lee Loft shelter the City has 
 offered no other solutions to people who are survival camping in the woods, 
 river levee and downtown.\n\nIt is illegal to sleep outside in Santa Cruz 
 btwn 11pm - 8am and it is illegal to lay under a blanket... EVEN IF ONE IS 
 AWAKE!!\n\nWhere are these folks supposed to sleep safely and 
 legally?\nThis situation refuses basic human rights and dignity and in many 
 cases, is patently against the law.\n
