"They come off as unappealing uninformed generic hippies who just want something to protest because it’s what they like to do."
This is exactly the problem in both Arcata and Eureka. There are too many signs with too many disconnected messages. Too many foul-mouthed people shouting too many inarticulate slogans. Centralize the theme, weed out those who are working against you from inside your group, and quit defacing the property on which you are squatting...then maybe, just maybe, you might get support from the community in general.
