DESCRIPTION:HUFF will be tabling on Saturday noon in support of Community Solidarity 
 and Solutions Supporting the Survival Camps in Watsonville and around Santa 
 Cruz.\n\nThe most well-publicized of those has been the San Lorenzo camp, 
 the subject of police harassment, community resistance, and a Temporary 
 Restraining Order.  A zoomed hearing resumes next Wednesday in federal 
 court.

 \n\nCampers along the Pajaro River in south County--both on the Watsonville 
 side of the river and the Monterey County side have been successful 
 resisting destructive bulldozing of their camps in the last week. See

 \n\nSalinas activists under Santa Cruz Homeless Union President Wes White 
 have mounted pressure with other activist groups there urging the new City 
 Council to abandon the discredited sweep-them-here, sweep-them-there 
 strategies of the past.\n\nRaelyn Butcher and Brian Brown of the Marysville 
 Homeless Union have won hundreds of thousands of dollars in a recent 
 lawsuit, with further hearings scheduled in response to abusive destruction 
 of survival encampments there. See

 \n\nLast year Sacramento activists secured a TRO against homeless sweeps 
 they are still struggling to have enforced.  See

 the unconstitutional uprooting of vehicular residents there.\nSee
