NEWS

  • Plaza to be Reoccupied, says Occupier Committee of Occupy San Diego
    • Press release cites laws that state that a place to sleep must be provided or city must allow sleeping on city property.
    • Please see the separate release.

Occupiers Plans To “Re-Occupy” Freedom Plaza Starting Saturday December 17, 2011.

We believe under the Illegal Lodging, 647(e) agreement filed 2/8/2011, 04 CV -2314 BEN, Exhibit "A" as well as “Training Bulletin SDPD, page 5 section II; 1., in conjunction with the federal court order giving persons the right to sleep in public space when no shelter beds are available (and it is rare to find such beds available), we have legal standing for our protest to remain in the plaza 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. Therefore we're lawfully re-occupying Freedom Plaza.

  • I hear the reoccupation is going well but we must expect illegal raids by SDPD in wee hours of the morning.
  • Need video documentation of any SDPD raid.
  • Use this document to shield yourself against improper displacement by police.

Matt Blagg
So apparently SDPD said they would reserve beds for the occupiers. Talking with matt who says they are going to a shelter right now to call their bluff.

William Gagan
we are here wanting to call their bluff.... scouts sent to every downtown shelter

Jennie Melillo
AWESOME

Julie
The people at alpha projects said there were no beds available and every night by 7:30 they are full, they even book beds via a lottery because demand is so high. I think we should make a goal right now of bringing awareness to the lack of homeless shelters and the number of homeless people who our city has tried to sweep under the rug. We are visiting these shelters to make a point that the SDPD has no legal grounds to arrest us on, which is great, but we could take this one step further and make a huge difference in our community.

Omar Metwalli
just left CC. Police offered to take any Occupiers to a "exclusive" shelter at an undisclosed location. Understandably many are hesitant to get in a cop car/van without any idea of where they are going. And they refuse to let us know.

ps: Occupiers mic checking the police 4 times reciting the proper protocol in dealing with overnight public lodging : priceless.

who knows... I think it's probably some emergency space that only the police has access to in case of an emergency ?? Just speculating at this point. Some people want to go just to find out. I'm very curious too. One cop said : " you know how sometimes you go to a bar and they don't let you in ? well we can let you in" or something to that effect ( in response to all the shelters being full or closed)

Martha Sullivan
Hat's off to Kevin Rambo and others for methodically calling the SDPD's bluff. Very smart work.

Colby Barlow
Good work team. @ Julie - that is the kind of next level thinking we need, love it

William Gagan
Just left there. Pulled an all-nighter. Finally Dante and Humberto got woken up and offered beds. They went to a shelter with SDPD. Lots of bullshit on SDPD's part. I'll edit all the video tomorrow when I wake up and get it flowing. Night all.

Tim Hack
The amount of homeless downtown seems to be in the thousands.

Eva David
‎Julie I LOVE you; I totally agree! Hats off to all involved in this amazingly productive overnight demonstration. Although I always saw the significance in the struggle to be able to stay overnight, I didn't think it should distract too much from our overarching grievances. However, this thread alone put it in perspective - and Julie's post especially about how we can make a difference in our community for those who need it most. Perhaps our next step should be to go around town in Santa's hats inviting all the homeless to sleep in the square with us as shortcuts to shelters? Skella Beaudet, I wouldn't say that Occupy is about battling local police; however, local police is the arm of local government that we interact with daily. Their behavior towards us is indicative of government's attitude towards us. I have so much respect for everyone's involvement in this. Love you guys, thank you so much!

Alan Riner
I have been on the streets here off and on for the last 8 years and there are more people on the streets now than ever before. there are over 5000 homeless veterans here all year long. the number of homeless in this city / county is in excess of 18,000 people in the winter time.. the SDPD took 2 people out of 55 who volenteered to go to the shelter.. tonight Bario Logan will be added to the list of places that SDPD has to man because of THE OCCUPY MOVEMENT. next Golden hill park, Childerns Park and Balboa park .. Lets PLAY WACK A MOLE...Get ready to play FIND US IF YOU DARE. .Divide and confuse the SDPD. .Time to make the SDPD DO THEIR JOBS... Don't you think they need to earn their pay for a change?

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!

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.
