DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE FOR 2012 ACLU SANTA CRUZ CHAPTER ANNUAL MEETING\n\nThe Santa 
 Cruz Chapter of the ACLU of Northern California is holding its 2012 Annual 
 Meeting on Saturday, October 20, from 1-4 p.m. at the Louden Nelson Center, 
 301 Center Street, Santa Cruz.  The Annual Meeting celebrates civil 
 liberties and local civil libertarians and seeks to engage the broader 
 community in current civil liberties issues.\n\nThe meeting is open to the 
 public – everyone interested in the work of the ACLU and in civil 
 liberties is warmly invited.  The Chapter will be presenting awards to 
 three local organizations that have made us proud this year:\n\nThe Hammer 
 of Justice Award will be presented to the Santa Cruz County Community 
 Corrections Partnership (CCP), which has been responding to the state 
 prison realignment legislation by working to develop alternative to 
 incarceration in Santa Cruz County.\n\nThe Bell of Freedom Award will be 
 presented to Planned Parenthood for their ongoing and resolute commitment 
 to women’s reproductive health in the face of persistent attacks.\n\nThe 
 True Patriot Award goes to the Day Worker Center of Santa Cruz County 
 (Centro Jornalero en el Condado de Santa Cruz), which worked long and hard 
 to create a safe, centralized location for day workers and refused to give 
 up despite numerous challenges and delays.\n\nThe keynote speaker will be 
 Professor Ellen Kreitzberg from Santa Clara University School of Law.  
 Professor Kreitzberg will be speaking and answering questions about 
 California SAFE (Savings Accountability and Full Enforcement) – 
 Proposition 34 on the November General Election ballot, which proposes to 
 replace the death penalty in California with life imprisonment without 
 possibility of parole.  Proposition 34 is supported by a hugely diverse 
 group, including the former Warden of San Quentin (who presided over four 
 executions), the author of the initiative that restored the death penalty 
 in California, families of murder victims, and law enforcement.  The 
 initiative is widely believe to provide an historic opportunity for death 
 penalty opponents.\n\nLight but ample refreshments will be provided, there 
 will be live music, and, best of all, there will be plenty of time to chat 
 and exchange ideas with others in the community who are interested in civil 
 liberties.  This is a fundraiser, and we are asking for admission on a 
 sliding scale of $25-75, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds.  
 Also, if you are not a member of the ACLU, you can use your admission 
 amount towards membership dues.  Membership dues are also on a sliding 
 scale, starting at $20, with a special student and low-income rate of just 
 $5.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/10/08/18723315.php
