DESCRIPTION:Seven-minute video of police arresting an unhoused man defending another 
 person's vehicular 
 home.\nhttps://youtu.be/vP_IS4fR2JM\n———————————————\nMayor 
 Justin Cummings and Police Chief Andy Mills are waging a war against those 
 who live outside or seek shelter in their vehicular homes. This is deadly 
 in the face of this pandemic and the eviction storm our community is 
 facing. \n\nThese night protests were initiated after Pirate was arrested 
 on Monday, July 13, 2020, protecting his friend's vehicular home that was 
 parked in a public lot near the Metro Station. All of us must have the 
 courage of Pirate and his friends to resist the theft of our survival 
 property by the authorities. He faces several baseless felonies.\n\nThis 
 was one of many vehicular homes towed by the Santa Cruz Police this week. A 
 2017 Santa Cruz City Council report on homelessness claimed that the police 
 spent over $14 million in 2015 tormenting those without housing. Each home 
 towed by the police forces more people to seek shelter in our parks and 
 doorways.\n\nNotice how many police officers came to confiscate this 
 person's survival vehicle.\n\nWhen over 20 million Americans face eviction 
 this September how can we let our police spend another dollar on 
 terrorizing those who have already been forced to live in their cars, 
 parks, and doorways?\n\nThe city of Santa Cruz has NO plan to address the 
 coming eviction crisis other than to increase the funding of the police. 
 More police terror is not a solution. It is up to us to provide for the 
 community ourselves.\n\nDemand that Santa Cruz Chief of Police Andy Mills 
 and Mayor Justin Cummings end their cruel policy of towing people's 
 vehicular homes.\n———————————————\nCONTACT
