Occupy the Martin Luther King Parade
Sunday, Jan. 15, 2:00PM
Harbor Blvd, Embarcadero Blvd.

The once great San Diego Martin Luther King Parade has fallen in recent years from its noble stature, into a near-perversion of it original purpose. In the parade this year on Sunday, January 15th, OCCUPY will change that with your help.

Since 2005 the liberal forces for peace, justice and Constitutional rights have abandoned the parade as it has become a scandalous promotion for the military-police and government security organizations. In the early days of the Bush Wars, over 1,500 peace marchers dominated the parade. In the last several years the parade has been dominated by ever conceivable government organization from local police departments, Homeland Security, CIA, FBI, ROTC bands, and units from all military branches.

In recent years the parade has become dominated by these anti-peace, anti-justice and anti-free speech forces, as progressive organizations have dropped out. The very forces which vilified, harassed, beat, jailed and oppressed Dr. King now practically run the parade.

OCCUPY seeks to restore the parade’s magnanimous purpose, to honor the civil rights movement and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. We plan to OCCUPY the parade once again and make a strong, positive statement for the principles and causes for which Dr. King fought and died for.

OCCUPY forces in San Diego are asking all who love liberty, peace, justice and respect personal dignity to return en masse and join in the actual parade. Several marching contingents and organizations have made invitations so far, including two colleges, and a couple of churches. The Vets for Peace, ever the valiant supporters of OCCUPY across the country, will also be marching in the San Diego Parade.

More details on the precise meetup point on Harbor Blvd will be forthcoming shortly. Just be prepared: This is general information about the parade: http://alpha-zsl.org/mlkdayparade.html

Read this more realistic account from the Ocean Beach Rag for background: http://obrag.org/?p=52058

Start making your homemade signs and banners:

I have a dream - Justice

I have a dream - Liberty

I have a dream - Peace

I have a dream - Government of the People

I have a dream - Government by the People

I have a dream - Government for the People

I have a dream - Jobs for America, not for China

I have a dream - Money out of politics

Corporations are not people

Money is not speech

MLK fought for the 99%

Prosecutors charged those arrested on felony charges of conspiracy, and police brutality was common. The Free Speech League sought to bring the cases up to jury trials to clog the system. There were an estimate of 5,000 involved in one protest, with 41 arrested. The views of the Free Speech movement were similar to Occupy, both on the wealth divide, and later on, First Amendment rights. The circumstances of the movement are echoed today.

I also refuse to consent to any search of these premises or any other premises under my control, or in which I have a possessory, proprietary, or privacy interest, including my car, my body, or effects.
