Join us for our 13th Community Sleepout!
To protest the criminalization of people experiencing homelessness and to work toward the repeal of the camping and sleeping bans!
Tuesday, October 6, 2015
5:00pm - Sleepout begins
6:00pm - General Assembly
9:00pm - snacks & sandwiches
10:00pm - set up camp and sleep
7:30am - breakfast
REASONS FOR THE SLEEP-OUT
Authorities continue to harass and cite members of the Santa Cruz unhoused community with citations.
This is happening even though there is no emergency walk-in shelter for the city's 1500-2000 homeless; waiting lists are full and generally seem to require a "path to housing", social worker, and/or disability check.
GUIDELINES AND GRUB
There will also be a set of proposed guidelines issued at the 6 PM General Assembly Tuesday, suggesting a "quiet for sleepers" and clean-up policy.
