HUFF's Vigil Against Two Wars

Thursday, 30 December 2004
6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Organizer: Homeless United For Friendship & Freedom

HUFF shares space with Santa Cruz Copwatch in front of Borders Book Store. We also have a radio which plays Free Radio Santa Cruz's Bathrobespierre's Broadsides--a two hour civil rights show concerned with local human rights violations--from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Often we have access to a cellular phone to call in to the show and report police misconduct and other discrimination against the poor directly from the street.

We also circulate petitions urging City Council to take actions to end the War in Iraq and the War Against the Poor in Santa Cruz. The petitions urge the Rotkin City Council to loosen local laws so as to permit medical marijuana distribution centers, urge the Council to press for the impeachment of Bush, urge immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq, urge restoration of public spaces and benches downtown, and urge an end to the Sleeping, Blanket, and Camping Bans.

We also distribute literature as well as the monthly homeless newspaper Street Spirit.

HUFF activists also cook and distribute food, often vegan, which we pass out until the pot is empty.

Location:
In front of New Leaf Market at Pacific and Soquel

Directions: In front of Borders Book Store in Santa Cruz downtown on Pacific Avenue at Soquel
