NEWS

  • 12/12 West Coast Port Shutdown -- Success in getting message out!
    • See media below for coverage.
    • Six people arrested for minor infractions
  • Attended San Diego City Council meeting. They are inappropriately designating the meeting as "special" when it has been held the same way for over six years, but they do this to avoid public comment, including OSD speakers.

COMING UP:
  • Stay tuned for PORT ACTION instructions for Tuesday, some element of surprise is necessary for success.
  • Occupy SD benefit concert at The Ruby Room on December 14.
    • Tell your friends either in person, through tweeting a link on Twitter (remember to include #osd, #occupysandiego, and/or #occupysd), confirm you are attending on a Facebook event, reblog on Tumblr, or just print out some flyers and pass them out to your friends, loved-ones, acquaintances, as well as those who will soon fall into one of those categories once you give them a flyer.

  • Occupier John Kenney arrested for "sleeping" at Freedom Square.
    • John Kenney, who is on Day 35 of his hunger strike protesting this lack of response from our elected leaders had begun to occupy the area in front of the doors into City Hall as part of his continuing protest that the City Council to agree to discuss Occupy San Diego as an agenda item.
    • At around 12:30 on the morning of Dec. 10th, John was arrested for illegal lodging while awake.
    • John is now out of jail. I talked with him and suggested that now is the time to end the hunger strike and and move attention to other legal avenues.

  • Arrests Update!
    • Of the 51 arrested on Oct 21 only 3 were charged.
    • Next court date is around January 15th
    • Looking for more details
    • Charges have not been filed but authorities reserve the right to file them if protestors are involved in any activity FOR A YEAR. What a pathetic way to put legal handcuffs on free speech.

Despite what you might hear on the corporate-owned news:
  • The occupation continues, around the clock.
  • PLEASE COME DOWN when you can and help with numbers. This is your true vote. Stay at home = vote against 99%.
  • Tents and almost everything is now being restricted by the police.
  • Food is needed -- we no longer have a food table, so you'll have to play it by ear.
  • We will not be denied our constitutional right to assemble and speak!
  • Many Teach-ins on Sunday!

Legal
  • Temporary Restraining Order
    • Read all details here: Background, Court Documents and Ruling
    • Decision was reached on Dec 1. Judge DENIED TRO
    • Judge said the law was "narrowly drawn" which is nothing but unbelievable.
    • We STILL need video documentation of police hassling people about setting stuff down. If you have such a video, please contact us at osd-feedback@citizensoversight.org so I can get it to the right people.

Sent to Sign-On SD in response to Matt Hall's Big Ideas Remain, But Occupiers are Fewer 12/11/11

I’m sorry that the reporter didn’t have the training, or perhaps the time, to dig deeper. A community of political activists is being created with the purpose of making the world a better place for the many, not just the few. The kids who sleep overnight have an important function: to view and then articulate the reality of the current United States, where police are brutal and the Constitution is no longer the law of the land. They are teaching us the difference between representative democracy that no longer seems to be working and participatory democracy where people are encouraged to formulate and then state their own opinions. The homeless people who sleep overnight have important functions too; they serve as placeholders for the daytime occupiers. And they teach with their stories: the students drowning under student loans, the vets who can’t shake the awful things they saw and participated in, the people who have lost their homes, and the undocumented people who have lived here their entire lives. The middle class daytime occupiers are being taught the hard truths about being poor in a rich country. Kids, students, veterans, homeless, and middle class occupiers are all stating the same top three objectives: repeal Citizens United, reinstate Glass-Steagall, and reform campaign financing. These are exciting times and those of us participating are awakened, hopeful, and activated.

A Report from Occupy San Diego Today - my own observation

Hello Friends,

Today, I attended an Occupy San Diego Teach-in. Since some of my friends have not checked out the area in front of the Civic Center so I'll tell you what it is like. Every Sunday, there are teach-ins scheduled on the hour, beginning at about 11. Today, the first topic was cruelty to animals, and then those animals ending up on our plates. There were so many details, I vowed to become a vegetarian again. There were two groups in the area - one group of folks "occupying" the area. They were playing sports, petting dogs, talking, etc. The teach-in was a little distance away - 40 feet of so. We had a detailed presentation and then discussion. It was organized, informative, and well-planned. WELL DONE OCCUPY San Diegans!

In peace,
Laura

User's Tip

Since we get new subscribers every day much of the email blast will be the same as the last one. BUT, you can view JUST THE DIFFERENCES if you want to, so you can read it faster.
  1. Go to the web version of the email blast.
  2. Scroll to the bottom. Click "More Topic Actions"
  3. Go to the sections "Compare Revisions"
  4. Compare the current topic ("3" in this one) to 1 (which is the prior day's)
  5. Click COMPARE.
Notes:
  • This does not show some changes, like images, so you should scan the original email too.
  • At the bottom of the original topic, you can view any older version (click the numbers) or comparisons ("<") by clicking on the list. (Doesn't work for our case of comparing one day to the next because there are usually several revisions before the final one, so you have to use the "Compare Revisions" function.
