DESCRIPTION:The press conference/protest follows up on last May's appeal to the 
 Salvation Army management.  \n\nThat event urged the Army to allow greater 
 freedom and privacy for camp residents and to provide important upgrades in 
 the living conditions there such as showers and protection from the 
 heat.\n\nSee 
 https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2019/05/13/activists-question-new-santa-cruz-homeless-camp-operations/\n\nToday's 
 event is again sponsored by the Santa Cruz Homeless Union, Conscience and 
 Action, Food Not Bombs, and HUFF (Homeless United for Friendship & 
 Freedom).  \n\nIt will be followed by a supportive visit to Monterey 
 Superior Court (1:30 PM, Department 13, 1200 Aguajito Road ) in support of 
 the Salinas Homeless Union's court suit seeking to stop the police 
 harassment of folks outside at Sherwood Park in Salinas.\n\nIt follows a 
 partially successful challenge to the City's discriminatory closing of 
 bathrooms prompting City Council last Tueday night to act.   An unusually 
 cohesive Progressive majority voted 4-3 \n     (1) to reopen the City Hall 
 bathrooms (closed since the Freedom Sleeper protests of 2015-2017); \n     
 (2) to refer the Louden Nelson bathrooms issue to the homeless-focused CACH 
 group, and \n     (3) to require the Parks and Recreation manager Tony 
 Elliot get approval from City Council for any future closings of City 
 facilities.\n\nActivists have also scheduled a Direct Action 'Open the Damn 
 Bathrooms" event for Tuesday September 3rd at 1:30 PM at Louden Nelson 
 Center.  Concerned community members are invited to attend, witness, and/or 
 participate.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2019/08/29/18825794.php
