CALLING ALL WOBBLIES!

The I.W.W. General Assembly is only days away! As you probably already 
know the Assembly will take place over Labor Day weekend, Friday through 
Monday Sep. 2-5. If you didn't get the chance to send in your 
registration form (or didn't even receive one) here is sime vital 
last-minute information:

Friday Sep. 2 will be an all-day check-in and introduction time. Come to
THE LOUDEN NELSON COMMUNITY CENTER, 301 CENTER STREET (near the downtown 
mall area, off of Laurel St.) to pick up an information packet and 
coordinate sleeping arrangements with Santa Cruz wobs. As we've said 
before we don't have much in the way of indoor housing available so bring 
*sleeping bags* and *tents* for backyard or field "accomodations."

Saturday Sep. 3. Assembly functions will start rather early and proceed 
through the day, with a hot meal  provided by Food Not Bombs Santa Cruz. 
In the evening prepare to let loose at the big show *A United Front* 
featuring Utah Phillips, Strawman, Del Rey and Just Kidding.

Sunday Sep. 4. Assembly functions continue during the day, with time for 
workshops, music and informal gatherings. A "civil disobedience prep" is 
also scheduled for the afternoon to prepare and inform anyone wishing to 
take part in the nonviolent direct action Sleep-out Sunday night. This 
action will protest the Santa Cruz Camping Ban, one of the harshest 
anti-homeless laws in the state making it a crime to sleep between the 
hours of 11 p.m. and 8:30 a.m.

Monday Sep. 5. A rally is planned for labor day to support and call 
attention to anyone jailed for the "crime" of sleeping outside in Santa 
Cruz. We intend to make it very clear that anti-poor legislation *is a 
labor issue* and that the I.W.W. is no stranger to organizing amongst 
those whom other unions and movements wish to exclude. In the I.W.W. we 
hold that an injury to one is an injury to all.
