March Against Homelessness: Indybay

On April 1, 2023, a compassionate community coalition led by local non-profit providers, businesses and hundreds of community members will hold a march and rally outside downtown Santa Cruz to end homelessness. This is a landmark event, the first of its kind in Santa Cruz County; Please join us as we reaffirm our commitment to addressing this important social issue.

As a coalition of service provider partners, we are taking action to support public policies to end homelessness while further educating our community about homelessness by challenging and dispelling the myths surrounding it. We recognize that we share the goal of ending homelessness with many individuals and organizations, and we are committed to breaking down these rifts across the county by formalizing and publicizing our collaborative efforts to end this crisis.

The march is an opportunity for neighbors and friends of Santa Cruz County to come together, connect, and speak out (and take steps!) together to end homelessness. As we walk together on April 1, we will unite our community and show solidarity with our homeless neighbors. The event will also raise our vision for the future, giving impetus to homelessness solutions here in Santa Cruz County.

With greater community outreach through this event, we will expand the discussion about homelessness and continue our efforts to end homelessness in our community. Show your commitment and support by connecting with us and walking shoulder to shoulder through the heart of Santa Cruz County.

The chart looks like this:

* 10:00 am: The rally starts at the corner of Cathcart and Cedar streets.
