DESCRIPTION:Full-scale head-on Sidewalk Snatching in pursuit of "law and commerce" will 
 begin October 24th when a second protest is scheduled (see flier 
 below).\n\nAt issue are the laws targeting street performers, artists, 
 vendors, homeless folks, sparechanges, and anyone who likes to linger 
 downtown in a non-commercial mode.\n\nRushed through City Council with no 
 prior public process, outreach to affected groups, or consultation with 
 social service providers, street performers, and others downtown, the laws 
 reduce public space downtown almost to the vanishing point.\n\nThe laws 
 provide police, hosts, and security guards as well as cranks, hostile 
 merchants, and Take Back Santa Cruz vigilantes a field day against whomever 
 they want to "move along".\n\nA historical tour of past public space 
 struggles is slated for 2 PM when we may also be able to observe the 
 Hostile-patility yelllow jackets as they helpfully advise people to 
 surrender rights and space...or face hundreds of dollars in fines (and jail 
 for the second offense). \n\nBring a musical instrument, horn, or other 
 noisemaker if you have one. \n\nMeanwhile the right-wing City Council 
 through Mayor Bryant's "Public Safety" Citizens Task Force is considering 
 all manner of anti-homeless and anti-progressive measures.  Shudder at the 
 latest Task Farce staff report at 
 http://www.cityofsantacruz.com/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=34511 
 .\n\nMany of the Downtown Ordinances that will be in full grim flower on 
 October 24th are described at

 \n\nFinal cries of anguish & definance can be directed at City Council on 
 Tuesday October 22nd at 5 PM during the brief Oral Communications 
 period.\n\nThe Committee for Fairness & Equal Opportunity for Artists and 
 Musicians is planning a Community Blanket Sit-In 10-24 1 PM to 3 PM as 
 described below.  Bring video equipment.  \n
