DESCRIPTION:URGENT ROARING CAMP RAILROAD PROTEST THIS MONDAY : Santa Cruz Mission Hill 
 Railroad Tunnel.\n\nRoaring Camp Railroad is digging on Mission Hill 
 without permits, without impact studies, without monitors. Artifacts have 
 been destroyed and human remains may have been desecrated. Unearthing of an 
 unidentified bone did not stop work. The City has tried to order work 
 stoppage, but bureaucracy is tying its hands. Tribal representatives have 
 asked for the work to stop, but it has not.\n\nThe railroad tunnel travels 
 through Mission Hill, just feet directly below the mass grave at the 
 mission. The church parking lot is on top of that. The distance between the 
 tunnel and the parking lot, is between 10 - 15 feet. The entire area of 
 mission hill is saturated with history, remains, and artifacts and deserves 
 respect.\n\nThis railroad tunnel has been collapsing for decades and there 
 are first hand accounts of remains and artifacts coming through the ceiling 
 only to be covered up again in a railroad bureaucracy. It would be nice if 
 the days of disrespect on that hill came to an end. The past can't be 
 changed but the future can be.\n\nCalling all social justice warriors this 
 Monday at Santa Cruz Mission Hill railroad tunnel near 701 Chestnut Street, 
 Santa Cruz. Peaceful event limited to public spaces. Aiming for a critical 
 mass of people between 12:15 and 12:45. There will be media coverage. 
 Mission Hill is legally protected land. No business should be above the 
 law.\n\nPlease join us for a peaceful, brief demonstration in front of the 
 South Portal to the Mission Hill Railroad Tunnel, where Roaring Camp 
 Railroad is literally acting as if it is above the law. Indigenous Rumsen 
 and Chumash activist Kanyon Sayers will join us Monday.\n\nThis is a 
 situation where every government agency feels its hands are tied.  Where 
 good laws, laws that protect the natural and cultural environment, need 
 grassroots help to succeed.  Be a law abiding citizen; Uncle Sam Needs You 
 to Protest!!!\n\n--Stand Up for Environmental Law!\n--Stand Up for 
 Protecting Indigenous Peoples’ Graves!\n--Stand Up for the Past; Rise Up 
 for the Future!\n--Stop Roaring Camp from defying National, State, and 
 Local Environmental Laws and Other Statutes!\n--For Years, Roaring Camp’s 
 work to rebuild Mission Hill Tunnel has impacted the the Most Sensitive 
 Archaeological Area in the County, including Mission Santa Cruz, with its 
 archaeological sites and the hundreds of unmarked burials of Ohlone who 
 died there.\n--Work on the Tunnel has proceeded without government 
 oversight; without permits; without review of engineering; without 
 environmental/archaeological studies; without archaeological or Tribal 
 monitors; without any sort of mitigation plan.\n--Work on the Tunnel has 
 disturbed numerous historic and prehistoric resources; yet nothing has been 
 reported to any agency.\n--There are reports that work on the Tunnel in 
 decades past caused damage to the Indigenous graves located above 
 it.\n--Just Last Week, an unidentified skeletal fragment Did Not halt 
 work.\n--Roaring Camp argues that because it is a private railroad that the 
 law doesn’t apply to it the same way it would almost any other property 
 owner.\n--Even if this is so, the City (for several years, now) has urged 
 Roaring Camp to utilize an archaeologist.\n--Support Your Local 
 Government’s Effort to Ensure that the Letter and the Spirit of 
 Environmental Law is Upheld. \n--Support Local Democracy in the Face of 
 Corporate Loopholes!\n--Make Every Day Earth Day; Make Every Day a Day of 
 Remembrance!\n\nThere will be a demonstration on Monday and a demonstration 
 on Tuesday.  We are hoping for a critical mass of protesters between 12:00 
 - 1:00 PM.  Even if you can only make for between 12:15 - 12:45 PM, your 
 presence would make a great difference.  We need to prove that there are 
 enough people ready to support this issue.  We don't need to suck up your 
 entire afternoon on a workday/weekday!  If you can stay longer, that's 
 great!  Otherwise, we can keep you in the loop via email.  There will be 
 other ways to help, too!\n\nWe will gather on the sidewalk along Chestnut 
 Street, near the South Portal of the Tunnel, where the construction is 
 taking place.  The Tunnel doesn't have an address, but 701 Chestnut Street 
 is right next to it.  We are Not meeting at that address, but on the 
 sidewalk near it.\n\nIf you are interested, please contact us at 
 tunnelvision8@pm.me or just show up!  We'll have extra signs.\n\nThis is a 
 grassroots action.\n
