Grievance Petition

PEOPLE’S PETITION
TO HUMBOLDT COUNTY
BOARD of SUPERVISORS
From the 2nd District. April 2000
ATTENTION: R. Rodoni

We, the Free People of Legendary Humboldt Nation
Do hereby petition Humboldt County to address our grievance against the wrongful death of Patrick Kevin O’Brien, by the use of excessive and brutal police harassment, criminal endangerment, and denial of Human,
Civil, and Constitutional Rights, for the last 12 years of his life.

We expect recognition of these war-crimes against the ‘homeless’, our most vulnerable citizenry..
We expect compensation as victims of said injustice…
We expect reparations in the form of Affirmative Action towards viable and sustainable progress into a Positive Future as a civilized people, living and working together in Peace.

We, therefore DEMAND that Left Field at Tooby Park be rededicated as the
PATRICK KEVIN O’BRIEN
HUMBOLDT NATIONAL MEMORIAL PARK
AND FREE CAMPGROUNDS
To Honor the Sovereign Native Spirit of Hip Culture, Peace, and Revolution.

We call upon the Veterans for Peace to provide security and direction for LOCAL control and administration of said Campgrounds, and
We REQUIRE effective outreach by the County Dept. of Social Services to facilitate LOCAL access and delivery of Food Stamp and Welfare Services,
to the residents of Southern Humboldt County.

for the Free People of Humboldt Nation
and the Rainbow Elder's Council,
Mateel Wheel, R'Way, California,

Morgana Sage, Mayor, pro-tem,
Y2K Sovereignty Township Steering Committee

Note: the only demand that was met, in response to this Petition, was the elimination of the requirement to go 60 miles to Eureka, the county seat, to qualify for FoodStamps. Of course, the local Social Services office had to upgrade their technology so they could fingerprint everybody in their hometown.
