Picket the Prejudiced: Week 6 at Book Shop Santa Cruz Sunday 2 PM August 5th

by Robert Norse
Still no response from Vice-Mayor Coonerty on City Council silence while the SCPD steps up harassment and ticketing of vulnerable homeless under the City's unconstitutional 11 PM - 8:30 AM outdoor sleeping ban. This week we will be picketing the store and urging folks to either boycott the business or demand attorney Coonerty clarify how he and Santa Cruz can call themselves "progressive" when their "midnight wake-up"s violate the 8th Amendment--a practive already banned in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Richmond.
This week should involve more active involvement with the communty, as well as the usual snacking, singing, soapboxing, and signature gathering.

Members of the public will be given short forms to sign indicating their opposition to the Coonerty Crackdown and encouraging him to explain how his position can be squared with basic civil liberty concerns.

If we're lucky, we'll have a few new satirical songs out.

The new Street Shit Sheet (#169), the first in several years will be available for perusal or purchase.

Next Sunday (August 12) at 2 PM, Free Skool Rights Restorers will be giving a "Know Your Rights" seminar on the sidewalk in front of Bookshop Santa Cruz.

Next Sunday (August 12) protesters will move to City Hall to begin a Sleep-Out and Special Showing of the anti-military DVD Sir, No Sir!, detailing successful GI resistance to the Vietnam War.

Coming Up next week: the new August issue of Street Spirit, featuring Linda Lemaster's in-depth coverage of the Craig Canada court victory.
