Protest over homeless rights brings issue to Santa Cruz’s City Hall

In Santa Cruz, California a two-month long protest continues in front of City Hall.

Since July 4, a group of homeless people and their advocates have been holding “peace camp 2010” to protest a four-decades-old law prohibiting people from sleeping in public places and vehicles overnight. Groups say law enforcement is targeting the homeless and ticketing them for sleeping outside, even though they have no place else to go. FSRN's Judith Scherr has the story.
