DESCRIPTION:FOOD NOT BOMBS TO PROVIDE AFTERNOON FOOD\nFNB activist Keith McHenry says 
 he will be on hand in the afternoon with the Food Not Bombs table to let 
 the Council and Community know that activists have not been driven away by 
 citations, "closed area" announcements, sleeping bans, stay-away orders, 
 security thug bullying, floodlights and other instruments of 
 repression.\n\nOthers are urged to bring food, blankets, friends, and 
 photo-capable equipment at night to document police behavior at and around 
 the protest--in anticipation of future legal action.  \n\nPARALLEL 
 STRUGGLES IN SALINAS & SANTA CRUZ\nSanta Cruz Freedom Sleepers and their 
 allies confront City Council in the afternoon (meeting starts at 2:30 PM,  
 Oral Communications at 5 PM, Evening "Study Session"at 7 PM).\n \nSalinas 
 Chinatown Defenders will be rallying at their City \nCouncil (2 PM--the 
 rally, 4 PM--speakout at CityCouncil at 200 Lincoln Ave.).\n\nOn Wednesday 
 the 23rd at 7 AM, the Chinatown Resistance will gather at 38 Soledad St. 
 with civil disobedience in the air to stop the massive deportation of 
 200-300 homeless people at what may be the largest and longest City 
 encampment there.\n\n"GIVE A SHIT!":  OPEN A 24-HOUR BATHROOM:  \nOn the 
 same day in Santa Cruz at 11 AM , HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & 
 Freedom) will meet 11 AM at the Sub Rosa Cafe to further organize the "Give 
 a Shit" campaign, demanding the City open the City Hall bathrooms at 
 night.\n\nThe only 24 hour bathroom in the Soquel Ave. garage was closed in 
 mid-December on the pretext that homeless people were "sheltering 
 themselves" there.  \n\nHUFF activists have gathered scores of signatures 
 for a planned march April 6 to the Public Works Department demanding safe 
 and sensible sanitary facilities for the community (both housed and 
 homeless).  More info at 423-4833\n\n\nRECENT ALTERNATIVE MEDIA\nRecent

SUMMARY:Parallel People Power: Freedom SleepOut #37 at City Hall While Salinas Activists Protest
LOCATION:The City Hall Courtyard grounds, torn up and ribboned off for "replanting" 
 with much of the  rest of the area near the City Council chambers roped off 
 to isolate protesters from their elected "representatives".\n\nThat's until 
 10 PM or thereabouts when straight-out exclusion from the entire City Hall 
 area to quash protest forces protesters onto that old cold sidewalk in 
 their fight against the Sleeping Ban.
