A Gang Injunction workshop tomorrow I hope our Santa Barbara City Council and Mayor attend. The injunction effects more than just 30 families try 330 Individuals and Families

Hello,
 There will be an important community workshop!  tomorrow Nov 17th at the moose lodge on Victoria st  from 6-7pmThis one is important to you if you have any interest in our Latino community population located in the city of Santa Barbara areas of 93103 or 93103. At the meeting the attorneys will go over the actual terms and conditions of the document and how to get involved to make changes that will better suit your community.The mayor and City Council started the Gang Injunction process and have a duty to follow through and review the changes as well as the public's opinion. The Constitution must not arbitrarily be applied to suit the needs of the few. Based on the recent actions taken in the Peter lance D.U.i. case our District Attorneys office and our Superior Court has shown they have little regard for the law or our Constitution. You must stop and ask yourself why when you see how Mr. Lance's attorney attacked the whole D.U.I. process in Santa Barbara. You must ask why Ricardo Juarez's attorney feels so strong in reversing his conviction that she has already attempted to have the California Supreme court her her case. Will the Ricardo Juarez case turn out to be another Efren Cruz case where the conviction is eventually over turned, I think it will.

> Things affected in the terms and conditions of this document for 330 individuals and their families.
>
>   You must find out what is written in the document because if this becomes law, this WILL HAVE TO BE enforced as written PERMANENTLY!
>
> Here are some of our concerns:
>
> SCHOOLS
>
> there are 3 terms that eliminate parent participation, picking up your children from school, talking to your children on your way home from school, or being present in or around campus.
>
> SCHOOL DISTRICT CHILDREN CENTERS & after school programs
>
> You will no longer be able to be around school areas in the safety zones or go on campus. This means that most children centers and afterschool programs will not be able to have these parents participate, or even pick their children up in case of a natural disaster or emergency without violating the order.
>
> INTERVENTION PROGRAMS
>
> You will not be able to participate in community center activities or the boys and girls clubs. Even though they receive intervention funds for programs.
>
>  PARKS AND RECREATION CENTERS
>
> You will not be able to take your family to the park, participate in healthy community activities with your family during public events, or participate in all city public recreation centers. This also states that you may not be in or around the facilities or areas.
>
>   So if you have a daughter or son performing in a public event or parade, you have to tell them you can’t go!
>
> TRANSPORTATION:
>
> The first term eliminates the ability of being able to wait for a bus or be in a bus without violating the order. You will not be able to freely transport yourself to and from schools or church without fear of police harassment.
>
> CIVIL RIGHTS
>
> The order eliminates the use a cell phones in the areas termed safety zones without police harassment.
>
>   you will no longer be able to visit a family home in the areas without prior written permission from the owner.
>
>   You will have to abide by probation terms and conditions even though you have not committed a crime. You will not be able to communicate with family members if they have ever associated with other youth that are deemed by police as possible gang related youth or adults.
>
>
>
> IF YOU ARE A HOME OWNER or own a business
>
> You will have to disclose that you live in a gang area, this will affect property values, home owner insurance or business insurance.
>
> MOST importantly
>
> THIS IS A PERMANENT ORDER
>
> This injunction does not have a sunset clause! This means that we expect these gangs to stay in Santa Barbara over 100 years from now and will need the same kind of enforcement.
>
> THE GANG INJUNCTION IS AREA ZONED
>
> Meaning a person can simply move from one zip code to the next. The order would not be in affect and people are free to continue to
>
>   create unsafe leaving environments just by changing address by one mile would make this person safe from this injunction.
>
> WHAT ABOUT THE COST
>
> Our city officials have not itemized the budget and our city council gave the go ahead to the city attorney to file the injunction without a public hearing or even an agenda item. We do not know the cost of the legal fees or what our city council plans on spending to file a civil individual suit against a possible 330 individuals indefinitely to simply just stay away from the 2 zip codes.
>
> WHY DID WE FILE THIS CIVIL CASE
>
> The city attorney stated on the document filed that they filed on behalf of the citizens of Santa Barbara because the people in the areas of 93103 and 93101 are now forced to stay indoors for fear of being confronted, harassed, shot at, attacked or robbed and are forced to constantly alter their lives.
>
>   This includes all people that pass by the “safety zones” or work in them.
>
> HOW DO I ASK FOR CHANGES
