SCPD STOP STEALING PEOPLE’S HOMES!
******UPDATE*******
The impound (where Bens vehicle is STILL currently held ransom) is creating a series of bureaucratic barriers to allow for the release of Bens vehicle. Meanwhile the fees continue to pile up at $100 dollars a day.
The target of the gofundme has been raised to reflect the additional fees needed to get Ben's car out.
***********************
You may have recently seen a crowdfunding campaign to post bail for a Santa Cruz community member, Pirate, who was violently arrested while attempting to stop the police from confiscating his friend’s vehicular home. Thank you so much to everyone who supported getting Pirate out of jail! He is now out and free.
On Monday, July 13th, SCPD illegally stole (towed) Ben’s car and home from a public parking lot. This is a continuation of SCPD’s ongoing war on people experiencing poverty. For people who live outside or who can’t afford to rent in this town, there is no place to sit, rest, sleep, or exist that is safe from police harassment.
Ben’s car is currently his home, and contained all of the supplies he uses to survive daily. After being taken by the police, his car is currently in impound and is racking up an additional $100 per day in fines, on top of the initial towing fee. Ben is now in an emergency and is building community to save his life. Together we are trying to raise money to rescue his vehicle and avoid the growing debt! Please help, every little bit counts! Much obliged.
