Response to city’s unsolicited permit
A Publication of the OSC Media Group
Monday, November 7– There will be a march from the courthouse steps to City Hall at 2:30pm to deliver OSC’s response letter to City Hall (consensed by the GA) regarding the unsolicited and repressive event permit issued by the City Manager, Martin Bernal. We need as many people as possible to join in this important action! We’re expressing our First Amendment rights and may open a dialogue between OSC and city officials.

An Open Letter from the General Assembly of Occupy Santa Cruz to the People of Santa Cruz:
While the General Assembly of Occupy Santa Cruz appreciates the City authorities’ public recognition that our assembly is within our First Amendment rights, we want to make known that the unsolicited permit issued to us violates these rights.
Our permit is the First Amendment.
We desire an open dialogue with city officials. Occupy Santa Cruz has both attended city council meetings and invited city officials to our meetings. No city official has yet participated in our General Assembly, which gathers daily at 6 PM and Sundays at 2PM on the courthouse steps. Please join us.
In addition, the permit and press surrounding the permit has misrepresented our movement. Our camp is neither unsafe nor unsanitary. We pack our trash and provide toilet facilities.
As people of the United States of America, our rights to freedom of speech and assembly do not end at a certain time of night, nor at noon on November 16th as indicated in the permit.
Occupy Santa Cruz is calling everyone to join us; therefore we cannot accept limits to the size of our assembly. We are an open and dynamic assembly of American people, horizontally organized through a process of direct democracy. Thus, no one person or group of persons can be designated as leader, permittee, or event coordinator.
We are seeking cooperation from city officials to prevent police repression of our assembly.
As the First Amendment of the United States Constitution clearly states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Exercise of this Constitutional right does not require a permit.
Occupy Santa Cruz does not accept the implicit assertion made in the demand made by the City of Santa Cruz to sign a non-requested permit for use of the park land currently being occupied – namely, the assertion that the Santa Cruz Municipal Code trumps the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.
Approved by the General Assembly of Occupy Santa Cruz on November 6th 2011.
