DESCRIPTION:With numbers somewhat diminished from 3 AM police roust-em-into-the-rain 
 raids, the occasionally-open Warming Center, and the 
 walk-to-the-outskirts-of-town-to-get-sheltered-downtown Winter Shelter 
 program,  Freedom Sleepers continue their year and a half Tuesday night 
 vigil.\n\nPROTESTS AGAINST TRUMP\nThere are protests aplenty planned for 
 the Trump Coronation coming up this weekend (elsewhere on this website).  
 Missing however is any focus on halting repressive policies being pushed by 
 both DemoRats and RepubliCons.  These polices most obviously include 
 continued warmongering, wealth privilege, police power, extensive 
 deportations, and--most especially--attacks on the poor outside.  In Santa 
 Cruz neither Democrats, Republicans, or Greens in office have moved to stop 
 criminalization of the homeless or acted to secure their most basic 
 survival rights.\n\nUPCOMING \nBetween 4 PM and 5 PM Thursday January 19, 
 Freedom Sleeper Pat Colby will be joining the 19th Annual Homelessness 
 Marathon--which will stream on Free Radio Santa Cruz at www.freakradio.org 
 or directly from their home website at 
 http://news.homelessnessmarathon.org/2011/01/for-stations.html .  More info 
 at http://news.homelessnessmarathon.org/ .  The entire broadcast runs from 
 4 PM to 8 PM.\n\nTenant activists are planning a free meal and 
 story-swaping session where you can " meet other renters and learn about 
 rights you have under state, county, and city law.  Plus presentations on 
 successful renter protection actions.  Sunday at 1:30 PM - 4:30 PM at  517B 
 Mission Street.  No landlords or property managers invited!
