FLASHBACK to September 10, 1998:
BENCHLANDS RESISTANCE sponsered by SANTA CRUZ HOMELESS UNION, FOOD NOT BOMBS [FNB] , and HUFF will meet again at a time and place TBA. Contact FNB [575-770-3377] or the Union for more info.
In the past, SANTA CRUZ SHITTY COUNCIL refused to fund or even permit independent low-barrier agreement or transitional camps, nor to fund FNB or the Footbridge Services Program. In August it transferred $1 million in state funding for the Coral St. Safe Sleeping Program to "Benchlands Closure and Restoration".
Call 575-770-3377 or 431-7766 to volunteer for the SC Homeless Union . Still needed leadership and organizing help. President Alicia Kuhl takes concerns and complaints.
Also notable: City Council's failure to use the $14.5 million to set up survival campgrounds outside the Benchlands and support those that exist!
The City's principal goal seems to be to provide
"show shelter" to persuade a federal court they are meeting the Martin v. Boise "no prosecutions without adequate shelter" option. Police can then restore the Sleeping/Camping Ban (MC 6.36) aka the Camping Services and Standards Ordinance and resume their "hide out or get out" policy making visible homelessness (while sleeping or resting) a crime.
They would circumvent the Martin v. Boise "no tickets without real shelter" ruling by setting aside 10 shelter spaces up at the Overlook or Armory encampments and claiming those who don't take them are "service resistant" and so no longer protected by that ruling.
HUFF STILL MEETS EVERY THURSDAY (NEXT MEETING 9-22)
VIEW VIDEOS FROM WES WHITE on his You-Tube channel (John Doe13K): THEN POST SOME OF YOUR OWN ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA.
OTHER OPTIONS to publicize police & shelter abuse : FACEBOOK, CALL HUFF (831-423-4833) FOR FRSC INTERVIEW, WRITE ESTABLISHMENT OR ALTERNATE MEDIA. Or contact Bathrobespierre Robert at rnorse3@hotmail.commailto:rnorse3@hotmail.com.
KEEP YOUR PHONE CHARGED AND HANDY TO RECORD UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTERS OR INCIDENTS YOU WITNESS PARTICULARLY IF AND WHEN POLICE WARN YOU YOU'LL BE SWEPT.
DON'T WAIT FOR THE ACLU, the SC Homeless Union, or HUFF TO TURTLEWALK INTO ACTION. LEARN YOUR RIGHTS, USE THEM, TALK WITH OTHERS, & PUBLICIZE.

To join, support, or witness the Resistance to the elimination of a functioning community check in at Food Not Bombs meals or go directly to the Benchlands. You may also get more info through the Union of the Homeless at 831-431-7766. The deadline for the latest (Phase 3] eviction is Tuesday noon. Some supporters plan to camp overnight starting 7 pm at the bottom of the 2nd stairway (along the trail from Water St.) on Monday 9-26; or show up Tuesday 9-27 in the morning for solidarity with evicted "no place to go" survival campers. Bring friends, photo equipment, and vehicles if you have them to help those who wish to move, and support those who plan to stay.

To join, support, or witness the Resistance to the elimination of a functioning community, check in at Food Not Bombs meals or go directly to the Benchlands. You may also get more info through the Union of the Homeless at 831-431-7766. The deadline for the latest (Phase 4] eviction was reported in the Santa Cruz Sentinel as Wednesday noon October 5th .
It may be earlier. There are prospects of an organizational meeting Monday October 3rd in the evening—either in the Benchlands or at the RCNV at 612 Ocean St.
Bring friends, photo equipment, and vehicles if you have them to help those who wish to move, and support those who plan to stay. Or simply to help spread a counter-narrative challenging the City's false claim that it has shelter and storage for the many whose shelter and property it is destroying.
Perhaps to turn disapproval, outrage, and/or disgust with the City's false narrative and damaging actions into organizing to resist further destruction in the weeks and months ahead.

BENCHLANDS RESISTANCE sponsered by SANTA CRUZ HOMELESS UNION, FOOD NOT BOMBS [FNB] , and HUFF may meet again 6 p.m. Monday 10-10 at 612 Ocean St. Contact FNB [575-770-3377] or the Union for more info.
Interested in helping scout out a TRO (Temporary Restraining Order] such as saved the San Lorenzo Survival Encampments in December 2020? Call HUFF at 831-423-4833. A distant hope but not completely out of reach.
Call 575-770-3377 or 431-7766 to volunteer for the SC Homeless Union . Still badly needed: leadership and organizing help. President Alicia Kuhl takes concerns and complaints.
The City's principal goal seems to be to provide
"show shelter" that doesn't really meet the Martin v. Boise "no prosecutions without adequate indoor shelter" option. Police can then more openly use the Sleeping/Camping Ban (MC 6.36)--its latest version being the Camping Services and Standards Ordinance [CSSO]. The police "hide out or get out" policy makes visible homelessness (while sleeping or resting) a crime.
The "copspots" set up to facilitate this police strategy are 10 shelter spaces reserved up at the Overlook or Armory encampments and claiming those who don't take them are "service resistant" and so no longer protected by that ruling. The City will also likely claim in subsequent lawsuits that it has offered acceptable shelter.
HUFF STILL MEETS NEARLY EVERY THURSDAY (NEXT MEETING 10-13) at the Sub Rosa Cafe 703 Pacific Ave. These are largely placeholder meetings that push back against the dominant anti-homeless narrative the City uses along with it's "everything is all right; we're helping out" line.
