One of many Sacramento River Trail homeless campers displaced today.

and Her Life on the Streets

Wonderful homeless advocates protested the destruction of Redding California homeless camps today during the worst economic recession since the Great Depression .
 

 

The protest was a World Homeless Action Day 2013 event.

A curiously small group of individuals attended the Community Creek Cleanup 2013 at the Sacramento River Trail, most of the work I am sure left undone.
 

 

Students from Bethel Church, Shasta and Foothill High Schools and others, the McConnell foundation, California Conservation Core, Redding Rotary, Redding Electric Utilities , R.E.U. and others destroyed homeless river trail survival camp and beautiful fishing areas during the Redding Shasta Community River Trail Clean Up 2013.

Sadly at least one of these was parked there today, and Monsanto's Round Up will most likely be applied in the next several days. Does City of Redding Monsanto herbicide spraying causing chaos with our local eagle population ?





What happens to homeless camping possessions confiscated by Redding Police Officer Bob Brannon ? Where does the City of Redding store their personal possessions ?

It looks like this particular Redding Sacramento "Community Creek Clean-up" now and in the future is going through Indian camping archaeological sites as well as a VERY sensitive turtle ponds. Just like the Henderson Open Space project heartlessly driving away the homeless, destroying important vegetative cover for riparian wildlife, City of Redding / Rotary Randy Smith spraying Monsanto's Round Up and contributing to global warming.

Ask Community Services Director for the City of Redding if consideration was given to the displaced homeless during the 2013 Sacramento River Trail Community Creek Clean up day.

 



Homeless Hatred - Nur Pon Henderson Open Space Day

What are we teaching the youth of today when during the worst economic recession since the Great Depression  we allow them to destroy known homeless camp survival areas during the Nur Pon Henderson Open Space clean up day?

Kim Niemer,  Redding's community services director and Randy Smith yearly lead the charge of destroying and unapologetically clearing vegetation and life sustaining homeless camps in the 30 acres of Henderson Open Space without offering a compassionate alternative to the multitudes of homeless they displace.

"Social studies and science teachers at local high schools have also offered extra credit to students who participate in the cleanup", said Niemer.

.Maybe Redding and Shasta County educators can teach students the harsh reality that the Nur Pon Henderson Open Space Annual Community Creek Cleanup heartlessly drive away the homeless, destroy important vegetative cover for riparian wildlife, and contributes to global warming?

Several Redding youth come to the sobering revelation that they are destroying homeless living areas and lives during the Nur Pon Henderson Open Space Day

Groups and organizations participating included City of Redding / R.E.U. California Conservation Corps, Rotary Club of Redding, Commercial Landscaping Services, the McConnell Foundation,and  Redding Police and Bethel Church.  Many people believe the policies and procedures of Redding Electric Utility / R.E.U is a major cause of homelessness in our area, so it was particularly morbid to see them and their equipment taking such an active role in the destruction of homeless camp survival areas in our community.

It was also shocking to see Redding California Bethel Christian Church joining forces with others to help destroy homeless camp areas in the Nur Pon Henderson Open Space where homeless find basic survival and refuge.

What can only be described as a process of clear-cut logging on the banks of the Beautyful Sacramento River within the Redding California City limits that is nothing less than devastating. One City of Redding official explained that the logs will be milled, and the boards used to build a future foot bridge in the Nur Pon Henderson Open Space Area, destroying picture postcard perfect scenic wildlife areas used by fishermen and homeless viewable from the Cypress Street bridge. It was explained that later City of Redding employee Randy Smith will apply poison herbicides to the Nur Pon Henderson Open Space area destroying and unapologetically clearing the vegetation and life sustaining homeless camp areas completing this Maccabe transformation

It was overheard in past conversations present with the Nur Pon Henderson Neighborhood Open Space Group how wonderful it will be to see all the homeless and vegetation removed so folks from the group who live on Henderson Road can see all the way to the river, and Dugan Barr's beautyful home on the other side. (All under the guise of removing invasive plants and trees of course.)

Emails have also been viewed from the Nur Pon Henderson Open Space Neighborhood requesting male members to be vigilantes to search and seek out homeless hiding and keeping warm by fires to turn into Redding Police Dept.

Homeless hatred and persecution at its finest.

 

What happens to the Homeless Men, Women, Children ,Veterans and Senior Citizens you displace ?



Meet Redding's "Catwoman"

A gentle homeless soul in her 70's who loves to collect money to feed her stray animal friends.

Homeless for the majority of 16 years, she camps out in the wooded area by the Sacramento River known as the Henderson Open Space. Recently she alleges that Bob Brannon, community work program officer for the Redding California Police Department has threatened to arrest her if she dident leave the Henderson area, and that she would loose her beloved pet dog, and that he was sick of cleaning up after her.

"Catwoman" is a very warm and easy to talk to individual. She loves to feed and take in unwanted stray dogs and cats, and it is said that she has developed a relationship with wild animals as well, feeding turtles and baby skunks as they rub up against her like baby kittens. Unfortunatly when Bob Brannon discovers and raids her camp, he throws away pounds of Cat and Dog food, as well as any survival homeless camping gear she has managed to obtain.



"Catwoman" is a cancer survivor, and unfortunatly needs a constant supply of colostomy bags to maintain her health. The last thing this dear homeless senior citizen needs is a threat of arrest, and the loss of her beloved pet dog hanging over her head.


If you agree that homelessness is not a crime and Catwoman is not a criminal then please take the time to call the Redding Police Department at (530) 225 - 4200 and ask for Redding Police Chief Robert Paoletti.


Let him know that this is not Stockton, that we here in Redding are compassionate to our homeless senior citizens, and until Redding California and Redding Rotary is willing and able to provide adequate shelters and affordable housing for the growing numbers of homeless folks free of homeless camping tickets,criminalization and evictions that Henderson Open Space is big enough for everybody to share.
