We are a group of concerned citizens representing a broad range of society. Some of us are motivated by the brutality inherent in rodeos, others are concerned about the example rodeo violence sets for our community and our kids.

We are business owners, professionals, students, clergy members, retired people, and others. We live in Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Capitola, Felton, Bonny Doon, and elsewhere throughout the County.

We are brought together by one thing: our opposition to a rodeo in Santa Cruz.
