DESCRIPTION:We Did It! The BEARCAT is Back on the City Council Agenda\nNow Let's Send 
 It Back!\n\nOn Tuesday, March 24th, an extraordinary event will be taking 
 place in Santa Cruz. In response to pressure brought to bear by SCRAM! 
 (Santa Cruz Resistance Against Militarization!) and hundreds of citizens 
 who are concerned about the purchase of a BEARCAT armored personnel carrier 
 and militarization of law enforcement, a City Council session to revisit 
 these issues will be held at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium starting at 
 7pm. SCRAM! urges the entire community to attend and voice their individual 
 concerns.  \n\nSCRAM! has been organizing grassroots action to compel the 
 City Council to rescind approval for the BEARCAT purchase and to develop 
 policies that prevent militarized equipment from flowing into local law 
 enforcement. As witnessed at the most recent council sessions, the 
 community has rallied around these goals and SCRAM! has successfully worked 
 to return these issues to the Council Agenda for a full public hearing. 
 \n\nSCRAM! agrees that keeping first responders and potential victims safe 
 is vitally important.  But that does not mean we need the BEARCAT.  SCRAM! 
 urges citizens to join us on Tuesday, March 24th for a 6:00 Rally at City 
 Hall and at 7:00 pm at the Civic Auditorium, corner of Church and Center 
 Streets in downtown Santa Cruz to voice their concerns.\n\nSCRAM! is a 
 coalition of more than twenty social justice and political action groups.
