DESCRIPTION:PRESS CONFERENCE\n\nAt Hero’s Camp behind Ross the Gateway Mall in Santa 
 Cruz\nFriday, April 12, 2019 at 11:30 AM\n\nHistoric Lawsuit Filed by 
 Homeless People in Santa Cruz, California to Block Eviction of Survival 
 Camp\n\nA group of homeless people surviving in a camp behind Ross Dress 
 For Less and their supporters filed the first lawsuit since the Ninth 
 Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Martin v City of Boise. This case has 
 drawn the interest of unhoused people across the Western States who may 
 wish to file their own suits to block evictions and force cities to respond 
 with housing, self-managed camps, RV parking and other desperately needed 
 service.\n\nPlaintives and their supporters will report on the status of 
 the case and describe the suffering that they fear would result if the city 
 fails to abide by the Martin v City of Boise decision.\n\nThe injunction 
 was filed in Federal District Judge Nathanael M. Cousin’s court seeking 
 to block the eviction of the camp claiming in part that it will violate the 
 Ninth Circuit Court of appeals ruling against cruel and unusual punishment 
 since the city is not offering safe and appropriate indoor shelter for the 
 over 1,000 people living outside within the city limits.\n\nFederal Case CV 
 19-1898 hopes to force the City of Santa Cruz to stop the eviction of those 
 living behind Ross and encourage the city to move forward on transitional 
 camps, safe RV parking areas, emergency shelter beds, and housing for 
 everyone living outdoors in Santa Cruz.\n
