The phrase "Fuck Your Citizenship" was painted on the Neary-Rodriguez Adobe, and the phrase "Maldita Cruz" was spray painted on two structures. The word maldita means "damned" or "cursed" in Spanish. Additionally, the word "genocide" was painted on the state park plaque, and the mission bell located in Mission Plaza Park was removed.<div>

Mission bells were installed across the state to memorialize the California missions. The bell displayed in Mission Plaza Park was donated by the Santa Cruz Woman's Club in 1998. In 2019, local indigenous leaders lead a successful campaign to remove the mission bell at UC Santa Cruz. They stated in a news release that the California mission system was a place where their ancestors were "enslaved, whipped, raped, tortured and exposed to fatal diseases" and that it is shameful the missions have been converted into "tourist attractions."<br /><br />Built in 1791, the Neary-Rodriguez Adobe is the oldest building in Santa Cruz County, and it is also one of the oldest Spanish military structures in the state.<br /><br />After leaving the mission, demonstrators marched down Highway 1 from Mission Street to Ocean Street. The group blocked traffic at the entrance to the city, and then again several blocks away at Water Street, before returning to the Town Clock where the march began.<div>

The modification of the artwork is a call for change in the wake of the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police on May 25. The phrase "I can't breathe" was among Floyd's final words as an officer leaned on his neck with his knee to "restrain" him while he was being detained.<br /><br />The words "organize" and "mobilize" are on the backsides of the cards, which communicates a dynamic message when the cards spin on the fishing lines.<div>

The demonstration was organized following California Governor Gavin Newsom's statements made during a press conference on April 18 that cities and municipalities that are blocking the State's effort to provide hotels for the homeless will be "judged" by history.<div>

Newsom declined to name the specific cities that were not accepting funds, but he had strong words for them. “I just want to encourage those cities that are blocking efforts like this to consider themselves in the context of others…to consider their actions in the context and annals of history," Newsom said. “They’ll judge themselves, not just be judged by others, by the extent they help the least among us.”<br /><br />Demonstrators in Santa Cruz, some with fixed housing and some without, spaced themselves out along Ocean Street at the "Welcome to Santa Cruz" sign. They held signs that read: "Newsom, Look at Santa Cruz," "Our City is is refusing to give motel rooms to the homeless," "Santa Cruz Supervisors, City Council, Stop Blocking Project Roomkey," "Motel Rooms Now to Stop Covid-19," "San Jose is Doing it," "Renters & Homeless Unite for Justice," "Everyone Needs Housing No Matter What," "Provide Motel Rooms Not Just for the Sick," "Where Did the Money Go?" "I Need A Safe Place, Where are the Motel Vouchers?" and "Where are Governor Newsom's Promised Buildings and Camps?"<br /><br />Organizers of the demonstration included members of Santa Cruz Food Not Bombs, the Santa Cruz Chapter of the California Homeless Union, and Homeless United for Friendship and Freedom (HUFF).<div>

Sculptor E.A. Chase, creator of the Collateral Damage sculpture at the Santa Cruz Town Clock, passed away on February 29 at the age of 87. Here Chase speaks with Mathilde Rand at the Town Clock on August 2, 2015 at a rally to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the dropping of nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Collateral Damage statue is dedicated to all victims of war. It was installed at the Town Clock in August of 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Mathilde Rand produced a <a href="https://youtu.be/v_NStxtF4uk" target="_blank">video</a> documenting the dedication of the statue in 1995. The event was attended by 12,000 people at the Town Clock and at a rally in San Lorenzo Park.<br />

Once open to all, the Louden Nelson restrooms have been closed to the public since 2018, which staff claims is due to complaints of vandalism and drug use. To enter the restrooms, a person must either be a patron or customer of the center, and punch in an electronic pass-code provided by the attendant at the front counter. Those at the demonstration were particularly concerned about the effects the restroom closures have had on homeless residents in the area, who often congregate in the park adjacent to the Louden Nelson Center where there are no other services.<br />

Demonstrators were able to gain entry to the restrooms during the senior lunch service, when the doors are sometimes left open. They expected that attendants would arrive and lock the facilities back up after the luncheon was over, but that did not occur, and the public was allowed to enter the restrooms freely while demonstrators sat quietly by.<br />
<br />
Gloria Rovay, who occupied the women's restroom for quite some time, noted that there were six stalls in that bathroom. She said that they would not see the same use now that the restrooms are being locked.<br />
<br />
"This place has been around for a long time," Rovay said. "This is a community center. What has changed?"<br />
<br />
Rovay said she believes the closure of the restrooms was motivated by a segment of the community that does not want to see or interact with homeless people.<br />
<br />
"You can't cut out a piece of society," she said. "They don't want to see them anywhere."<br />
<br />
As for reports of drug use, vandalism, and needle litter in the Louden Nelson Center, Rovay said the damage could have been done by anyone, and wondered how the center's staff knew it was from homeless people or drug users. She thinks that requiring members of the public to sign in at the front desk in order to gain access to the restroom code could be a quick and easy fix to the problem, as opposed to going to the trouble and expense of hiring bathroom attendants, which has been proposed by some in the community.<br />
<br />
Rovay also thinks that public drug use has been on the increase downtown due to the remote location of the local needle exchange, which is presently operating out of the County Health Center. Rovay thinks there should be syringe services downtown, which would reduce the number of discarded needles.<br />
<br />
Sharps disposal kiosks would also help reduce needle litter at the Louden Nelson Center, she said.<br />

At 11pm on November 15, nearly two dozen individuals had set up spaces to sleep along the sidewalk in front of the large postal building, which is a landmark downtown. "Please join us for a peaceful night's sleep while celebrating the constitution and supporting the human right to sleep. Everyone is welcome, whether you have a home or not," an event announcement for establishment of the survival camp read. <br />

Earlier in the day on November 15, the City of Santa Cruz announced the closure of five parks due to fire danger, including Pogonip, Arana Gulch, Moore Creek, DeLaveaga, and Arroyo Seco. These latest park closures in Santa Cruz follow the closures of San Lorenzo and Grant Street Parks in October, which were literally fenced off from the public for "public safety" reasons, according to the city. Additionally, the city has closed the restrooms at San Lorenzo Park for much of 2018, and permantly restricted the public's access to the restroom at Louden Nelson Center/Laurel Park. <br />
<br />
City policy hast left homeless individuals continuing to be shuffled around the greenbelt. Homeless encampments have swelled around the city, including a new camp between Gateway Plaza and Highway 1, and some camping on Santa Cruz Main Beach. <br />
<br />
One reason community members decided to establish a survival camp at the downtown post office is due to the recent decision by postal officals to construct a permanent fence around the building. That decision was in part to prevent community members from sleeping in the landscaping, but also to discourage Santa Cruz Food Not Bombs from sharing meals there, which the group has done since 2012. The permanent fence was installed in October of this year, and a huge number of "no trespassing" signs have been plastered along its length. A temporary fence had been in place since March of 2017. <br />
<br />
The River Street Campground, which is funded and operated entirely by the city, opened in February of this year after authorities dispersed a large homeless encampment that had developed at San Lorenzo Park between 2017 and 2018. The cost to operate the campground was estimated by the city to be $90,000 a month, for an average of 50-60 guests per day. <br />
<br />
It is unclear how long individuals will camp at the post office. Robert Norse, of Homeless United for Friendship and Freedom (HUFF), said the group may decide to sleep at other locations. <br />
<br />
The establishment of a community survival camp in Santa Cruz has been endorsed by The National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty, End Solitary Santa Cruz County, WILPF - Women's International League for Peace and Freedom Santa Cruz, WRAP - Western Regional Advocacy Project, Santa Cruz Code Pink, Conscience in Action, Santa Cruz Food Not Bombs, HUFF, Homeless Depot, HomeFree, and The Freedom Sleepers. <br />

<br />
While police have arrested at least two individuals specifically for arson, a press release issued by Cal Fire on November 9 charges that some of the fires in the Santa Cruz Mountains originated from "illegal campsites." <br /><br /> The Rincon Fire has been the largest of the recent fires in the area, burning 17 wooded acres and coming very close to homes in the Paradise Park area along Highway 9. <br /><br /> The homeless community has received some backlash from individuals on social media. Some of the comments have been preserved by the group "Take Back Santa Cruz from TBSC" on their Facebook page. One called those involved with the recent incidents, "tweakers with fire". <br /><br /> City policy leaves homeless individuals continuing to be shuffled around the greenbelt. These latest park closures in Santa Cruz follow the closures of San Lorenzo and Grant Street Parks in October. As a result, homeless encampments have swelled around the city, including a new camp between Gateway Plaza and Highway 1, and some camping on Santa Cruz Main Beach. <br />

One group participating in the March 8 demonstration was the UCSC March Collective, who invited the public to join in the call for solidarity with, "women, trans and queer people, muslims, immigrants, people of color, sex workers, survivors of violence, currently and formerly incarcerated people, and oppressed people everywhere." The march collective invited people of all genders to join the action, stating in an event announcement that, "We strike because we can't afford not to care." <br /><br />Multiple events were planned for International Women's Day in Santa Cruz. The downtown march began at Louden Nelson Center and made its way to the Santa Cruz Town Clock where speakers were heard in front of the clock and in the street, where many of the participants held space at the big intersection at Water and Pacific. <br /><br />Streets were blocked for nearly an hour and a half, during which time several frustrated drivers exchanged angry words with the demonstrators. To divert traffic, police set up one road block on Water Street, but left the other streets unattended. <br /><br />Instead of using police resources to direct traffic away from the demonstration and ensure public safety, the department instead chose to direct officers to monitor the event from multiple locations. One officer was stationed on top of the hill above the clock tower, and appeared to be video recording demonstrators who were blocking streets. One officer monitoring the demonstration was parked on Front Street, some distance away from the action. <br /><br />As a result, one man attempted to drive through the demonstration with his large truck. A group immediately surrounded the man's vehicle to prevent him from plowing through people. They kept him at bay for nearly a half an hour while he revved his truck's engine, periodically lurching the vehicle forward inches a time, and dangerously wedging further into the mass of people. <br /><br />Looking to report the man in the truck, a number of individuals who felt physically threatened walked over to the one location on Water Street where police were directing traffic. Eventually demonstrators were able to convince the man to turn his vehicle around. After he drove away police followed him, catching up to him one block away. <br /><br />Santa Cruz Police Lieutenant Christian LeMoss spoke with the driver while two other officers with the department surrounded the truck to protect the man. Though there were no "protesters" in sight, and only one other photographer on the street in addition to this reporter, one of the officers kept his hand placed on his gun, while the other prominently displayed a long billy club at his side. <br /><br />The driver of the truck was neither arrested or cited. <br /><br />LeMoss spoke to the man from the passenger side of the vehicle, on which the phrase "I am a Racist" had been etched onto the truck's door. A report airing on KSBW later in the evening on March 8 stated that police were still investigating an incident of vandalism to a vehicle that occurred during the demonstration, however the report did not identify the make of the vehicle, or any further details. <br /><br />The first observance of Women's Day was organized on February 28, 1909 in New York by the Socialist Party of America. The holiday was mostly celebrated in communist countries and by international socialist movements until it was officially adopted by the United Nations in 1975. <br /><br />An event announcement for the Santa Cruz Women's Strike explained the background for the action: <br /><br />"Following the January 21st Women’s March against Trump, the largest single protest in U.S. history, women in over 30 different countries have called for an International Women’s Strike -- a Day Without A Woman -- on March 8th, 2017, International Women’s Day. <br /><br />"March 8th will be a day of action organized by and for women who have been marginalized and silenced by decades of neoliberalism, and who are further threatened by Trump and his misogynist, racist policies. We call for solidarity with trans and queer people, Muslims, immigrants, people of color, sex workers, survivors of violence, currently and formerly incarcerated people, and oppressed people everywhere. We invite people of all genders to join in. <br /><br />"We demand an end to gender violence, and that rapists and sexual harassers be held accountable. We demand an end to ICE raids and deportations in our communities. We demand an end to police brutality. We demand free healthcare for all, including full access to reproductive and gender-affirming care. We demand free, community-centered child care and elder care. We demand full and free access to education. We demand affordable housing and a living wage. <br /><br />"Against the open white supremacists in the current government and the far right they have given confidence to, we stand for an uncompromising anti-racist and anti-imperialist feminism. This means that movements such as Black Lives Matter, the struggle against police brutality and mass incarceration, the movement against the Dakota Access Pipeline, the demand for open borders and for immigrant rights and for the decolonization of Palestine are for us the beating heart of this new feminist movement. We want to dismantle all walls, from prison walls to border walls, from Mexico to Palestine. <br /><br />"On March 8th, we call on people of all genders to pledge to go on strike, to refuse work and school, and to join us in building a new international feminist movement that fights not only against Trump, but against the conditions that produced Trump -- racial and sexual violence, environmental destruction, imperial wars abroad, and an economic system that puts profit before people. The only way we can move forward is together."<div>

The Women’s March Santa Cruz County coincided with the Women’s March on Washington DC, as well as those held internationally.<div>
<br />In Santa Cruz there was nearly an hour and a half of solid, continuous marching from Church Street to the Louden Nelson Center, after the front of the group started moving and reached Pacific Avenue.<br /><br /><br />Women’s March Santa Cruz Mission Statement:<br /><br />"We stand with you, our partners and allies, to march in solidarity to protect the rights of ALL, including Women, LGBTQ, Immigrants, Religious Freedom, People with disabilities, and rights of People of color, sending a bold message to our administration and to the world. We recognize that our vibrant and diverse communities are the strength of our country. All Human Rights matter- defenders of Human Rights join us!"</div>

Organized as a general strike, students from multiple Santa Cruz area schools staged walk outs to join the demonstration. Students and faculty members at the University of California Santa Cruz participated in a UC system-wide walkout, marching from campus to the downtown. Additionally, a march was held on Pacific Avenue, and later in the day activists constructed a large wall out of cardboard boxes that blocked Cooper Street. <br /><div>

In response to the weather, individuals slept at a variety of different locations around city hall to maintain their protest against local laws that criminalize homelessness. At the previous sleepout, held on the evening of December 6-7, the sleep protesters faced the coldest and harshest weather of the season thus far, with temperatures lowering into the mid-30s.<div>

The Freedom Sleepers are a coalition of unhoused and housed activists who have been sleeping weekly at Santa Cruz City Hall since July 4, 2015. They use sleep as an act of civil disobedience, and the primary demand of their protest is for the city to repeal its camping ban ordinance, which prohibits sleeping anywhere in public between the hours of 11 pm and 8:30 am. <br /><br />Additionally, sleeping anywhere on the grounds of Santa Cruz City Hall at night is against the law. The entire property is closed to the public between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am, and is subject to the parks trespass law. <br /><br />The Freedom Sleepers generally sleep on the sidewalk in front of city hall, where they receive less attention from police. The Santa Cruz Police Department has raided the community sleepouts many times. On November 23, police cleared a group of about two dozen sleepers who were sheltering themselves from rainy weather under the eaves of city hall. Some were participating in the protest and some not. <br /><br />Attendance at the sleepouts has varied during the wet weather and recent dip in temperatures. Even though the temperature was in the 30s at the sleepout held on the evening of November 29-30, several dozen people made it through the night. In contrast, the last two sleepouts have seen a reduction in participation. <div>

Officers issued citations to individuals, and made one arrest. City Hall property is closed to the public between the hours of 10 pm and 6 am. Many of those sleeping at City Hall were participating in the weekly Freedom Sleepers sleep protest, while others were simply sheltering themselves from the wet weather temporarily with the group.<div>

The evening of November 22-23 marked the 72nd community sleepout organized by the Freedom Sleepers, a coalition of unhoused and housed activists who have been sleeping at Santa Cruz City Hall since July 4, 2015 to protest local laws that criminalize homelessness. <br /><br />The Freedom Sleepers generally sleep on the sidewalk in front of City Hall. By choosing to locate the protest on the sidewalk, the group receives less attention from police, who have raided the sleepouts many times in the past. <br /><br />Despite intense pressure from the city, police, and park rangers to prevent people from sleeping at City Hall, many of the Freedom Sleepers are receiving feedback from houseless people that the sleepouts are the only place in Santa Cruz where they can get a full night's sleep. <br /><br />Before the police arrived on November 23, a group of five security guards with First Alarm conducted an initial sweep of City Hall to wake some of the sleepers up. <br /><br />One person said he wouldn't be able to go back to sleep after being woken up by the security guards. <br /><br />Later, another person who was issued a citation questioned its validity. As police officers were writing him up, he stated loudly that he would simply be moving across the street to sleep when law enforcement was gone. <br /><br />After the raid, quite a few people did leave the area. The concrete was damp, and the temperature was dipping into the mid-forties. <br /><br />The sky had cleared, however, and by 5 am about a dozen individuals had moved to the sidewalk to go back to sleep while it was still dark. <br /><br />Two First Alarm guards stayed through the morning time to keep City Hall clear of sleepers. <br /><br />The Freedom Sleepers have said they will continue to sleep every Tuesday night at Santa Cruz City Hall indefinitely.<div>

There have been periods of wet weather recently, but Tuesday nights have been dry in Santa Cruz, and attendance at the sleepouts has remained consistently high since August of this year.<br />

The Freedom Sleepers are a coalition of unhoused and housed activists who have gathered to sleep at City Hall one night a week since July of 2015 to protest local laws that criminalize homelessness. <br />
<br />
Many of the Freedom Sleepers are also active as volunteers with Santa Cruz Food Not Bombs, which shares food at the sleepouts and operates a "free market." <br />
<br />
By sleeping at City Hall, the Freedom Sleepers are engaging in a civil disobedience protest that directly violates the city's camping ban, which outlaws sleeping anywhere in public between the hours of 11 pm and 8:30 am. <br />
<br />
Despite intense pressure from the city, police, and park rangers to prevent people from sleeping at City Hall, many of the Freedom Sleepers are receiving feedback from houseless people that the sleepouts are the only place they can get a full night's sleep. <br />
<br />
The Freedom Sleepers next sleepout is planned for this Tuesday night at Santa Cruz City Hall. <br />

Students first started gathering mid-afternoon on Friday at Quarry Plaza to create protest signs. They then marched from UCSC to Mission Plaza, where community members had formed a giant circle in order to host an open mic. More speakers were heard when the students arrived, and a march through the downtown was held, which attracted many onlookers as participants. <br />
<br />
The energy was high. Individuals chanted as group "Not My President!" and "No Walls, No KKK, No Fascist USA!" <br />
<br />
As the march made its way down Front Street, demonstrators held a short general assembly at Cooper Street, which determined the march would move onward through local neighborhoods, eventually passing through the Beach Flats and arriving at the Boardwalk for another brief discussion. <br />
<br />
Students' first march took place on November 8, unfolding spontaneously on the evening of the election as vote counts were being reported. When Donald Trump was being named President-elect, students exited their residential halls and marched around the UCSC campus. A second demonstration was organized at UCSC on November 9. That evening a large group of students marched from campus to the downtown where they merged with another Anti-Trump demonstration that was organized at the Town Clock.<br />

The interrogation took place only two hours after they were first informed of Sean's death on October 16, according to family friend Don Payne. Payne spoke at a community forum organized by the Social Justice Alliance of Santa Cruz (SJA) at Peace United Church on November 1 to address Sean's killing. Payne said he was speaking in the "spirit of transparency" and that he meant no disrespect with his statements. He said that the sharing of information in the case was, "an opportunity to come together in the spirit of finding a solution." Sean was suffering from mental health issues at the time he was shot and killed by Santa Cruz police, who say they deemed him a threat when he advanced towards four officers with a garden rake in his hands outside of a home on the west side.<br />

About 75 to 100 people attended the Social Justice Alliance event, which was essentially organized as an open mic for community members to express their views. Santa Cruz Chief of Police Kevin Vogel was in attendance, as was Deputy Chief Rick Martinez. Both spoke briefly at the end of the forum. <br />
<br />
Smith-Arlt family friend Don Payne spoke shortly before the police chiefs did. <br />
<br />
Payne said he had known Sean since he was 2 years old. <br />
<br />
He said that for many years Sean had no mental illness, but that, "somewhere along the line, something happened." <br />
<br />
"I don't know what," he said. <br />
<br />
"I saw Sean through college," Payne said, speaking about Sean's degree in Psychology. "He was a very bright young man." <br />
<br />
Like many others in the community, Payne discussed how he hasn't been able to understand why the four officers involved in Sean's killing couldn't handle a situation with a person carrying a garden rake differently. <br />
<br />
"What occurred on October 16, from my perspective, is very very hard to understand," Payne said. <br />
<br />
"I was called to the Arlt's house at 6:30 in the morning," he continued. <br />
<br />
"I say all of this in the spirit of transparency," Payne said, "because the chief has indicated that's his will as well." <br />
<br />
"The community has expressed a desire for that," he added. <br />
<br />
"I spent five and a half hours or more in the DA's office on the morning of October 16th while Sean's parents were both interrogated, essentially," he said, "two hours after they were told that Sean had died." <br />
<br />
Payne said an officer of "substantial background in the police department" explained to him why Sean's parents were being questioned. <br />
<br />
"I was told in no uncertain terms the truth had to be obtained in this case, and that's why they were being questioned right then, two hours after they were informed of his death." <br />
<br />
Without speaking for Sean's parents, Payne attempted to describe how difficult the situation was for them. <br />
<br />
Since his killing, Sean's family has not communicated to the media, except to release a written statement on October 18. <br />
<br />
"The information that has been released so far is not telling the whole story. We are hopeful that with a more independent investigation, the entire truth will come out and justice will be done," the Smith-Arlt family stated. <br />
<br />
"We understand there are many challenges for law enforcement officers who respond to 911 calls. It is clear more training and resources are needed for responding to a mental health crisis situation," the statement read. "On October 16th the police were well aware that Sean was struggling with mental health issues." <br />
<br />
At the SJA forum, Payne expressed concerns about the police department's hiring practices, and the issue of hiring police officers who have previously served in the military. <br />
<br />
He said he was told by police that the officer who shot and killed Sean had a military background. <br />
<br />
"She told me point blank that the person who shot Sean was one of our best new recruits, well trained in the military," Payne said. <br />
<br />
"I'm not a military person. My father died in World War II and I was exempt from the military, and I do not know what military training is, but I have to assume that it is training to kill the aggressor and not to keep the peace," he said. <br />
<br />
"I would suggest that the police department carefully look at its hiring practices because it is very difficult from my perspective to overcome the initial training that is 'shoot first' rather than keep the peace," he added. <br />
<br />
"I hope I have not offended," Payne said. "I am hopeful that transparency in all matters in this particular case will evolve, I think it will help the community." <br />
<br />
A wide range of community members spoke at the forum, including political activists, and several public official were present. Sheriff Jim Hart and Chief Deputy Craig Wilson of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office sat in on the event to listen. Santa Cruz City Council Member Micah Posner spoke, as did two candidates for council seats in this year's election, Sandy Brown and Steve Schnaar. Candidate Chris Krohn was also present. <br />
<br />
Activist Abbi Samuels spoke, after earlier handing out protest signs with pre-printed messages such as "Release the Names Now" and "Release the Videotape Now." Despite pleas from the public, police have refused to release the video and audio evidence they say they have of Sean's killing, and they have also refused to release the names of the four officers involved. <br />
<br />
Reverend Dave Grishaw-Jones of Peace United Church, Brenda Griffin, Vice-Chair of the Santa Cruz Chapter of the NAACP, and Darrell Darling all helped host and facilitate the event. <br />
<br />
The Social Justice Alliance is a recently formed coalition of organizations that includes the NAACP of Santa Cruz County, ACLU Santa Cruz County, Barrios Unidos, Resource Center for Nonviolence, the Santa Cruz County Community Coalition to Overcome Racism (SCCCCOR) and SURJ (Showing Up for Racial Justice), including representatives from the Santa Cruz County Youth Violence Prevention Task Force. <br />

Graniterock has contributed $10,000 to Yes on D. The Watsonville-based company produces crushed gravel, sand, concrete and asphalt for the construction industry. If passed, Measure D would increase sales tax in the county by 0.5% and dedicate $100 Million for widening Highway 1, which would have a long-term negative impact on the environment, according to demonstrators.<div>

Rick Longinotti explained why the No on D group, also known as Widening Won't Work, chose Graniterock. <br /><br />"I spent over twenty years working in electrical construction, and I disliked working on projects that increased energy consumption," he said. <br /><br />"Let's put people to work on transportation projects that offer real solutions to congestion and help us break out of our dependency on fossil fuels." <br /><br />Community members are also planning to demonstrate at Palo Alto Medical Foundation, which has contributed $25,000 to the Yes on D campaign, on November 4. <br /><br />In 2004, a previous attempt to widen Highway 1 (ballot Measure J) was defeated by voters, with 57% opposed. <br /><br />Following that defeat, Widening Won't Work says that the Santa Cruz County Business Council (SCCBC) worked to curry political favor in order to create Measure D, recruiting support from Graniterock, Santa Cruz Sentinel, Santa Cruz Seaside Company, Devcon Construction, Inc., Barry Swenson Builder, Plantronics, Slatter Construction, and Wells Fargo.<div>

An officer with the California Highway Patrol cited him with the misdemeanor on March 3, 2015 after Darocy photographed the six UCSC students who locked themselves together and blocked Highway 1 in Santa Cruz as part of the “96 Hours of Action” protests against tuition hikes and racist police violence called for by students across the UC system.<br />

<br />
The office of District Attorney Jeff Rosell charged Darocy with violation of Vehicle Code section 2800(a), failing or refusing to comply with a lawful order of a peace officer (a misdemeanor), and violation of Vehicle Code section 21718(a), stopping on a freeway (an infraction). <br />
<br />
It looked like the case was going to trial. <br />
<br />
It wasn't until October 19 that Darocy was able to reach a plea deal with the Santa Cruz District Attorney's Office. Darocy agreed to plead "no contest" to the infraction in exchange for the misdemeanor charge being dropped. <br />
<br />
"I'd like to thank my attorney George Gigarjian for his excellent work on this case. He was dedicated to helping me fight this charge, and advanced a vigorous defense for over a year and a half," Darocy said. <br />

On January 8 of this year the Santa Cruz Chapter of the ACLU <a href="https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2016/01/13/18781761.php" target="_blank">issued a letter</a> in support of Darocy. <br />
<br />
"We wish to express our grave concern about the chilling effect this prosecution may have on constitutionally guaranteed freedom of the press as applied to Mr. Darocy individually and on members of a free and open press as a whole," the ACLU letter read. <br />

Many in attendance held protest signs with the pre-printed messages "Release The Videotape Now" and "We Will Remember Sean!" Sean was suffering from mental health issues at the time he was shot and killed by Santa Cruz police, who say he advanced towards them with a garden rake in his hands outside of a home on the west side on October 16. Four officers were involved in the incident, which occurred over the course of a 20 second time-span that ended with one of the officers shooting two shots at Sean.<br />

One close friend of the Smith-Arlt family, Don Payne, spoke before the city council, saying he had spoken to them after Sean's killing. He described himself as having lived in Santa Cruz for 15 years.<br />
<br />
"I hesitate to say much," Payne said, "but I do hope the council understands that the family is devastated by what has occurred."<br />
<br />
"I can't understand how a man holding a rake above his head, approaching officers, can be taken to be such a threat," he said.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"I was told directly by a ranking department member that the person who shot Sean was a new recruit, well trained in the military, and I find that the potential militarization of the police force personally to be a substantial problem which needs to be addressed," Payne said, to the applause of the audience present in council chambers.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Several different figures in the mental health community spoke before the council, including Carol Williamson of the Santa Cruz affiliate of National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), and Sarah Leonard, Executive Director of the Mental Health Client Action Network of Santa Cruz County (MHCAN).<br />
Both organizations quickly released public statements following Sean's killing. <br />
<br />
"We are heartbroken, we are stunned by the tragic death of Sean Arlt, a beautiful, beautiful young man who was living with a mental illness," Williamson told the city council. <br />
<br />
"We rely on the police. Calling 911 is the most difficult decision for a family to make, and now trust is deeply shaken," she said. <br />
<br />
"The death of Sean calls for full consideration of several questions," Williamson said. "Is our law enforcement response to psychiatric crisis working? Is our mental health care system working? How should our family, our county investigate incidents about use of force?" <br />
<br />
Several community members who themselves suffer the effects of mental health issues spoke to the council about their encounters with police. <br />
<br />
One person who said he was living with a diagnosis of Tourettes Syndrome, said he had started the complaint process with SCPD for an incident of police brutality that occurred when he had inadvertently gone off of his medication during a stressful period in his life. <br />
<br />
Another individual told the city council he had "over 75 5150s." <br />
<br />
Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) grants police officers the ability to involuntarily confine a person suspected to have a mental disorder, if they are a danger to themselves, or a danger to others. <br />
<br />
He said during one of those 5150 interactions, police had dissarmed him of a knife by shooting him with bean bag guns and rubber bullet guns. <br />
<br />
"I think something like that would have been more appropriate for the [Sean Smith-Arlt] situation," he said. <br />
<br />
Also speaking were the family members of those experiencing mental health issues. <br />
<br />
Paula Leroy told the city council her daughter has bi-polar disorder and that their family is part of a support group who meet with other families with relatives of all ages who struggle with addiction and mental illness. <br />
<br />
"With mental illness it's not really, will she have a psychotic break, but when," Leroy said. "There's no magic medicines, and I'm really terrified." <br />
<br />
"Sometimes our kids are violent and we need to call on help, and I'm really terrified, and I don't think I will next time," she said. <br />
<br />
Leroy feels the issue may be in police training, as opposed to the conduct of the specific officer who killed Sean that evening. <br />
<br />
"I'm also afraid that one police officer is going to take the hit for a type of training, for a type of policy where you shoot first," she said, adding, "and if you are afraid of a rake, I don't know what kind of police training you had." <br />
<br />
Leroy concluded by saying she would like for there to be a mental health unit that families could call for medical help, without calling the police. <br />
<br />
"I can't trust right now," she said. <br />
<br />
Another woman whose child struggles with mental issues echoed what Leroy stated. <br />
<br />
"This also could have been my son who is mentally ill," she said. "We too need the police. It is very difficult to put boundaries around kids sometimes." <br />
<br />
"I would really, really hesitate to call them the next time we needed them, because we don't want that to happen to our child," she said. <br />
<br />
Several homeless people spoke before the city council about the killing. <br />
<br />
A woman wearing a backpack with a sleeping bag tied to it stated that she had lived in the area for about a month. "I sleep outside," she said. <br />
<br />
She advocated for a more fair judicial process, with regards to Sean's killing. <br />
<br />
"If you have an officer shooting someone, then he needs to be faced by a judge, just like anyone else in our society," she said. "He is human without his badge, just like the rest of us." <br />
<br />
A homeless woman who has spoken to the city council many times about issues regarding the difficulties she faces living outside in Santa Cruz also felt that serious measures should be taken with regards to the officer who shot and killed Sean. <br />
<br />
"I think that officer ought to be fired immediately," she said. <br />
<br />
A number of political activists and community volunteers spoke to the council about Sean's killing, and the need for a change in police procedures as well as how those suffering from mental illness are cared for locally. <br />
<br />
"Given what we know we have the right to be outraged," said community activist Michael Gasser. <br />
<br />
"We've heard about people saying they're not going to call 911, he said. "I'm going to think really hard before calling 911 in a similar situation myself, and advise others similarly until this changes." <br />
<br />
Abbi Samuels offered a number of recommendations regarding police accountability and transparency. <br />
<br />
Samuels was active with Santa Cruz Resistance Against Militarization (SCRAM), a group that organized to stop the militarization of the police in Santa Cruz County when the SCPD was going through the process of acquiring a Lenco BearCat attack vehicle. <br />
<br />
"Have an independent investigation done by outside investigators, outside of Santa Cruz," Samuels told the council. <br />
<br />
"Release the video tapes and audio tapes. We want to know the truth. If you've nothing to hide, please release them," she said. <br />
<br />
Samuels also demanded the names of the four officers involved be released to the public. <br />
<br />
"They are not the victims," she said. <br />
<br />
"If they are not released, I demand Chief Vogel resign," Samuels said. <br />
<br />
Rabbi Philip Posner told the council that if the preliminary reports about Sean's killing were true, and he was killed because of the garden tool he was holding, then it was, "such an abuse of power," he said. <br />
<br />
"I empathize with the work of police," Rabbi Posner said. "It's a tough job, but we are talking about a human life, and I hope that we find out the truth, and if so we take the necessary steps to make corrections." <br />
<br />
He clarified that statement, though, adding that the police responding with a bullet in response to the threat of a garden tool was, "beyond comprehension." <br />
<br />
When M. Lee Brokaw spoke before the city council, he used a metaphor from his place of work. <br />
<br />
"I'm a general contractor, and in my profession they say that if a man has a hammer, all he sees are nails," Brokaw said. "I think it is time to disarm the police." <br />
<br />
Long-time community activist Ann Simonton talked about a program in Vancouver that sent out social workers to help those in a mental health crisis, as opposed to armed police. <br />
<br />
"This is a terrible tragedy for our community," she said. "I hope we can use this as an opportunity to be forward thinking and to change the police." <br />
<br />
"A de-escalation takes longer than 20 seconds," Simonton said. <br />
<br />
City council candidate Chris Krohn spoke, taking issue with the process by which the meeting was organized. He said the issue needed to be agendized, with a full public meeting held at the Civic Auditorium, and that the city council was not taking Sean's killing seriously. <br />
<br />
Sitting city council members Noroyan and Posner briefly shared their thoughts about the killing, and Mayor Mathews read from a written statement. <br />
<br />
SCPD Chief of Police Vogel was asked by a community member to repeat a presentation about the incident he delivered to the city council earlier in the meeting, when those speaking out about Sean's killing were not present. <br />
<br />
While reading from his notes, Vogel said that withholding the names of the four officers involved in the killing was a "standard procedure" and has been a "past practice" in the county for all officer involved killings. In addition to Vogel, Deputy Chief of police Rick Martinez was present, as well as Lieutenant Dan Flippo. <br />
<br />
After the city council adjourned the afternoon session of the meeting, a heated scene between community members and two of the police officers present developed outside of council chambers. <br />
<br />
Individuals who had just spoken during oral communications about Sean's killing took issue with a Santa Cruz Police officer who was laughing and smirking at one person in the group. <br />
<br />
Officer Ian Burnham continued to laugh as an angry crowd began to form around him and Officer Brad Burruel. <br />
<br />
SCPD Sgt. Bush was on the scene and would not respond to questions from the public about the officers' conduct, though he did eventually direct both Burnham and Burruel to exit the situation and leave the area, which prompted the crowd to dissipate<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: "verdana" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">. </span><br />

A close friend of Sean's family spoke to the large group present at the vigil. <br /><br />"People have spoken about Sean's artistic ability, but Sean had the right brain cone as well," he said. <br /><br />"We used to sit sometimes and talk about Plank's Theory. Sean had quite an incredible mathematical mind, as well, so he had both the right and left brain working." <br /><br />"He had quite an incredible intellect, and he had quite a sense of humor to him as well," he added. <br /><br />He mentioned how he and Sean's family had taken a walk together in Pogonip the morning of the vigil. <br /><br />"They are like family to me," he commented. <br /><br />"They don't want to be angry. They don't want you to be angry, even though I'm sure that will come," he said. <br /><br />"They simply want to see that Sean's child is cared for in the future, and that the community is respected, and that in the future things like this don't happen." <br /><br />"I can tell you it has been very difficult, but they are incredibly loving people, and they love this community, and they want you to try to remember that," he said. <br /><br />On October 18, Sean's family released a written statement to the public that describes how dear Sean was to them, and what type of person he was and what some of his accomplishments were. His family confirmed Sean was suffering from mental health issues. <br /><br />"It is clear more training and resources are needed for responding to a mental health crisis situation," the family said in the statement. <br /><br />They have called for a more independent investigation into the killing. <br /><br />"The information that has been released so far is not telling the whole story. We are hopeful that with a more independent investigation, the entire truth will come out and justice will be done," the stated read. <div>

Community activist Sherry Conable spoke about the need for a truly independent investigation into the killing when she spoke at the vigil for Sean. <br /><br />"There is a very strong relationship between the District Attorney's office and law enforcement officers," Conable said. "They kind of depend on each other to prove their cases, and make their cases, and that is not an objective review of what happened." <br /><br />"We need an outside, independent investigation of what happened," she explained. "Not from the District Attorney's Office. That will not be independent. That is an insider's investigation, that is not adequate." <br /><br />"It is incumbent that the mayor and our council members call for, and be willing to pay for, an outside, independent investigation," Conable said. <br /><br />Brenda Griffin, Vice-Chair of the Santa Cruz Chapter of the NAACP, spoke at the vigil on behalf of the Social Justice Alliance of Santa Cruz, a recently founded coalition of organizations working together on issues of police accountability and transparency. Participating organizations in the alliance include the NAACP, ACLU, Barrios Unidos, RCNV, SCCCCOR, SURJ, and representatives from the Santa Cruz County Youth Violence Prevention Task Force. <br /><br />"Our hearts and prayers go out to Sean's family. Our hearts and prayers go out to our community, and our hearts and prayers go out to other communities who have gone through this, and it just has to stop," Griffin said. <br /><br />As she spoke, Griffin was accompanied by Peter Gelblumm, Chair of the Santa Cruz ACLU. They invited those at the vigil to attend a listening session the alliance has organized for November 1 to be held at Peace United Church. <br /><br />"This listening session is an opportunity for the community to gather and share their feelings and concerns about the recent death of Sean Smith Arlt and begin the communal healing process," an announcement for the event states. <br /><br />Sarah Leonard, Executive Director of the Mental Health Client Action Network of Santa Cruz County (MHCAN), also spoke. <br /><br />"This happened here because the culture here made it possible for this to happen," she said. <br /><br />Leonard compared how Santa Cruz police responded to Sean's erratic behavior to a recent incident in Great Britain that made international news when police disarmed a person with a machete. <br /><br />"They took the time and the effort, and they had the cultural reasons for valuing that and making that happen," Leonard said. <br /><br />Abbi Samuels and Keith McHenry of Santa Cruz Food Not Bombs helped organize the vigil. Santa Cruz Food Not Bombs shares food outside of the post office in downtown Santa Cruz on Saturdays and Sundays. Volunteers with the organization have become some of the most vocal of those advocating locally for low-income and houseless people. <br /><br />McHenry spoke about how the police have been responding to the homeless community in Santa Cruz. <br />"We see so much suffering at the hands of the local police under the direction of the city council and the city manager's office," he said. <br /><br />Samuels read some of Sean's poetry, as well as from his book, "The Love Manifesto." <br /><br />The book is available on Amazon.com, and bears the following description: <br /><br />"The Love Manifesto delivers a psychological, political and spiritual message that is capable of addressing the concerns of readers from nearly every cultural while simultaneously promoting a cosmopolitan philosophy that is capable of bringing peace to the world." <br /><br />Local religious leaders also helped organize the vigil for Sean. Reverend Dave Grishaw-Jones of Peace United Church, leaders of the Santa Cruz Zen Center, and Rabbi Philip Posner provided prayers and words of solace to those in attendance.<span style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span></div>

<br /></div>
At noon on October 16, police were still processing the scene. A small garden rake could be seen lying on Chace Street, with a numbered evidence marker next to it. In addition to SCPD, deputies with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office were also processing evidence.<br />
<br />
Commercial media outlets have reported that police were initially called to a home on Chace Street after the victim had attempted to enter the residence and was making threatening statements towards those inside.<br />
<br />
As of the publication of this article, the Santa Cruz Police have not made any information about the killing available to the public.<br />
<br />
<br />
UPDATE (10/18)<br />
<br />
More information about the Santa Cruz police killing on October 16 has been released to the public. <br />
<br />
Sean Smith Arlt is the name of the person killed. He was 32. <br />
<br />
Arlt was in the backyard of a house on Chace Street when police first encountered him. They say they ordered him to leave. <br />
<br />
Once Arlt left the backyard and advanced towards officers with the garden rake, approximately 20 seconds passed before a single officer fired two shots to kill him. Police say they attempted to tase Arlt prior to shooting him during that 20 second period as well. <br />
<br />
None of the police reports released to the public state that Arlt made any physical contact with the officers as he was advancing towards them. <br />
<br />
According to a press release from SCPD dated October 17, there is an audio recording of Arlt's killing: <br />
<br />
