DESCRIPTION:Join us October 24th - the day the Santa Cruz City Council's new draconian 
 downtown ordinance "restricting artists, musicians and Petitioners'" 
 freedom of expression is to take effect. The Ordinance not only restricts 
 display space, it even bans blankets on which artists may display their 
 wares and maintains the rule that artists and musicians must move to a new 
 location after one hour.\n\nBring a blanket and a piece of jewelry or a 
 favorite musical instrument.\n\nAs Councilman Don Lane, who with Micah 
 Posner voted against the ordinance, pointed out a 6-foot-long table, even a 
 smaller card table with two chairs, or a three-member music combo would all 
 "... violate the new standards." Further, As Councilman Posner stated, 
 these rules are "literally a curtailment of freedom of speech" and 
 difficult to regulate (and enforce) without a measuring tape, T-square or 
 other tools."\n\nIf you agree that individuals seeking to share their 
 sidewalk musical or artistic talents have the same right to freedom of 
 expression as brick and mortar merchants join us in solidarity - in 
 opposition to rules that are arbitrary and oppressive; whose intent seems 
 to be an attempt to whip clean artistic, musical creativity and freedom of 
 expression from our downtown streets.\n\nJoin our peaceful, non-violent 
 protest.\n\nSincerely: Committee for Fairness & Equal Opportunity for 
 Artisans and Musicians. 831-426-1319 and HUFF - Homeless United for Freedom 
 & Friendship 831-423-4833 \n\n\n
