DESCRIPTION:To protest the heavy police (SCPD, 1st Alarm, Host) harassment of the poor, 
 the artists, the vendors, the performers, and the activists on Pacific 
 Avenue.\n\nThe "Vanish the Vendors" ordinance is due to return May 10th to 
 City Council.   This law will freeze into law police power to continue and 
 increase the threats, citations, and arrests police have already introduced 
  for the last few weeks downtown.  See "...Vanish the Vendors Law..." at 
 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/04/11/18785162.php\n\nMost notorious 
 was the arrest of Alex Skelton and Joff Jones (See "Pigs Repress Free 
 Speech on Pacific" at 
 https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/04/16/18785295.php ) last Saturday.  
 The two have returned--again reportedly outside the performance pens or 
 blue boxes in defiance of the "free speech an hour at a time and only in 
 the blue boxes" Decree of the city staff and Downtown Association.\n\nHUFF 
 will be tabling to demand an end to the restrictive boxes, forbidden zones, 
 and move-every-hour law to return to the peaceful and success Voluntary 
 Downtown Performance Guidelines.  It voted at its weekly meeting to support 
 those guidelines and expand them more broadly to vendors, tabler, and 
 others engaging in extended non-commercial speech.  See"Santa Cruz, 
 California Street Performing Voluntary Guidelines" at 
 http://www.buskersadvocates.org/saalegalSantaCruzGuide.html).\n\nOther HUFF 
 concerns include its Give A Shit! campaign:  restoration and opening of 
 24-hour bathrooms, including Soquel garage bathroom (closed for three weeks 
 for "vandalism"); end harassment of poor people with no legal shelter the 
 right to sleep at night and cover up with blankets; and the broad 
 restoration of public space in parks and public walkways (heavily 
 monopolized by commercial interests downtown).\n\nBring signs, friends, 
 video, and high spirits!\n\nIced tea and brownies likely available for 
 early arrivals.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/04/20/18785423.php
