DESCRIPTION:Protest starting at Santa Cruz City Hall\n809 Center St, Santa Cruz, CA 
 95060\n\nAlso email the Santa Cruz City Council. Demand the meeting be 
 moved to the Civic Auditorium so our opposition can be heard. Tell them to 
 scrap the TOLO and demand that all unhoused people are provided with a safe 
 place to live: citycouncil@cityofsantacruz.com\n\nThe changes to be voted 
 on in May 11, 2021 include:\n\n• Prohibiting camping in “open 
 spaces,” such as Arana Gulch and the Pogonip, that had been previously on 
 the list of places where unsheltered people could live.\n\n• Directing 
 the city manager to open a “managed encampment” for unsheltered people 
 at 1220 River Street, and look into the possibility of more transitional 
 encampments in the city.\n\n• Exploring the creation of a “restorative 
 justice” diversion program to allow those who violate the ordinance to 
 avoid jail time and citations.\n\n• Adding more oversight and data 
 collection efforts to determine how effective the ordinance is, and what 
 the costs associated with it are.\n\n• Creating maps to show where people 
 who are unsheltered can camp and sleep.\n\n• Crafting more narrow 
 definitions for what behaviors would constitute a misdemeanor offense, and 
 adding in protections to prevent the arrests of homeless families with 
 children.\n\n• Delaying implementation of the ordinance until Santa Cruz 
 County reaches the yellow tier of COVID-19 transmission and risk, or U.S. 
 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on homeless encampments 
 during COVID-19 changes, whichever comes first.\n
