With an eye to cross-pollination, I distributed 100 copies of the flyer below at the "Our Downtown, Our Future" rally at the Farmer's Market on 10-29 and the following Climate Justice rally. The flyer updates somewhat my perspective on the state of civil rights for homeless ("unhoused") folks in Santa Cruz.

The most recent legal victory I'm aware of was in Santa Barbara:

Santa Cruz advocates have yet to renew the Injunctive protections for those in the Benchlands which expired at the end of June, much less for the broader population outside as winter approaches.

In the report "Outside the Law: the Legal War Against Unhoused People", there is a full section on the Santa Cruz CSSO (Community Standards and Services Ordinance), known previously as the TOLO, actually a fluffed up version of the 6.36 Camping Ban. It's under the Case Studies section and entitled "Sleeping as a Crime: City of Santa Cruz".
