Santa Cruz ACLU Issues Letter in Support of Indybay's Alex Darocy
Photographer Still Faces Misdemeanor Charge for Documenting Highway Blockade
A letter of support for Indybay's Alex Darocy was approved by unanimous vote by the Board of Directors of the ACLU of Northern California Santa Cruz County Chapter. Darocy still faces a misdemeanor charge after being cited in March of 2015 by a CHP officer after photographing the six UCSC students who locked themselves together and blocked Highway 1 as part of the “96 Hours of Action” protests against police violence and tuition hikes called for across the UC system.
