DESCRIPTION:There have been six months of largely closed-to-public-comment "hearings" 
 by this group personally chosen without public input or homeless 
 representation by Mayor Hillary Bryant in response to pressure from 
 homeless-hostile groups: Ken Collins' Clean-'Em-Out Team, Pamela Comstock's 
 Take Over Santa Cruz, and Lynn Robinson's Santa Cruz NIMBY Neighbors.\n\nA 
 pre-selected group with a pre-fabricated agenda has kidnapped the label of 
 "Public Safety" to demonize homeless illegal drug users and homeless people 
 generally.\n\nNow their "investigation" and "research" with the usual 
 conclusions of more police, harsher jail time for life-sustaining behavior 
 like survival camping, and amped up Drug Prohibition is ready for 
 ratification by incoming Mayor-to-be Lynn Robinson and her cabal of 
 frightened or complacent politicians.\n\nSpeaking truth to this dank den 
 may not be the most pleasant task, but the community needs to hear it.  
 \n\nBring sleeping bags, signs, musical instruments, friends, and warm 
 blankets.  \n\nHot vegan food will be provided by JumboGumbo Joe 
 Schultz.\n\nWe will have a speak-out to decide on next steps to address the 
 callous crackdown and upcoming freezing winter weather.\n\nSubsequent 
 actions later that night will be decided then.   \n\nSleeping or covering 
 up with blankets is a crime in Santa Cruz after 11 PM.  \n\nIt is illegal 
 to be on the grounds of City Hall with a protest sign after City Council 
 closes its meeting.\n\nThere is shelter each night for less than 5% of the 
 City's unhoused population.\n\nThese facts tell the tale.\n
