Save lives and provide Hotel Roomkeys for those who live outside or suffer in the cramped unsafe shelters.

Tell Governor Newsom that Santa Cruz is one of those NIMBY communities that refuses to implement Project Roomkey. Join the Physical Distancing Picket at the hotel next to Denny's on Ocean Street.

“I just want to encourage those cities that are blocking efforts like this to consider themselves in the context of others…to consider their actions in the context and annals of history,” said Newsom, speaking outside a Motel 6 in Silicon Valley that will be repurposed for the homeless. “They’ll judge themselves, not just be judged by others, by the extent they help the least among us.”
