NEWS

  • IMPORTANT:
    • Please bring ready to eat food! Be creative -- simple to serve and easy to eat. This is critical that we support the hearty souls continuing to occupy the Civic Center area, despite the unreasonable rules of the city. PLEASE DELIVER to the food table at 3rd Ave at B St. -- you can park temporarily to drop this off!
      • They need snacks and other food types. You don't need to prepare a complete meal for 50, or anything like that to be appreciated!
      • Baked potatoes are a great idea, and double as hand-warmers.
      • I heard that many homeless persons that are finding themselves in a safe situation and with reliable food are starting to improve health-wise, thanks to Occupy San Diego.
      • Occupiers need: Cough drops / throat lozenges, Socks, a few more tarps (I understand more rain is expected on Friday).
    • DAYTIME OCCUPIERS WANTED! -- Daytime occupiers are as important as the brave souls sleeping on the ground at Occupy San Diego. Come on down to the Civic Center for an hour or two as often as you can. You matter--you are needed. If you wish, grab a piece of cardboard (and magic marker) and speak with your heart on it.
    • We are looking for video and or still pictures taken the night of the raid at Civic Center.
      • Please Email: osdraid10272011@yahoo.com
      • Please include your first name and last initial, and describe the vantage point where the video or picture was taken.
    • If you have been arrested, please contact Rebecca or Hasmik (rebeccatrojas@gmail.com, hasmik82@gmail.com) with the National Lawyers Guild for details about an upcoming Informational Meeting about the Post-Arrest Process this Monday, November 14th. Please note that this meeting is ONLY for those who have been arrested.

  • General Assembly
    • Plan to get notes from the general assembly -- John Kenney will post his GA notes directly to the list serve as a separate email. He said he will be able to post one each night after the GA has completed.
    • Good news -- live stream should be up and running soon... now have most of the lost equipment replaced.
    • The question was raise about whether the GA should be moved from the Civic Center Steps to the area along 3rd Ave and reunite with permanent occupiers.
      • This questions was referred for more work to resolve a more concrete proposal.
      • One positive reason for this is it would force the permanent occupiers to clean up the area.
    • The GA discussed options for tighter control of the Facebook passwords and approach to change admins if needed.
      • Proposal was blocked and tabled until the next meeting.
    • Request for agenda item at the next GA:
      • GA should prepare an agenda, when possible, at least one day in advance.
      • Committees that wish to put something on the agenda should request to put in on the following meeting.
      • Proposed agenda can be promulgated to participants.
      • Summary reports of each meeting will be sent out after the meeting, and will include the proposed agenda for the following meeting.
      • These reports and proposed agendas can be sent out in this email blast.

National Coordination

  • National Occupy Conference Calls: There are weekly conference calls between Occupy sites. We need reps from appropriate committees to join in the conference call. Unfortunately, it is Monday at 7pm, our GA time.
    • Notes from last national Occupy Conference Call -- http://www.copswiki.org/Common/M1198

      • Facilitation/General Assembly discussion
      • Emerging or Struggling Occupations support
    • We have room for 200 phone lines to join the conversation. If at all possible, it would be excellent for folk from the same occupation to join together and call in using one line, in order to maximize the number of occupations represented.
    • Please join the call no matter what stage or situation your occupation may be in at the moment. Have 5 people camping out? Great! We want to talk with you. Having GAs once a week with 100 people and not sure whether setting up an occupation is a wise investment of your resources? Super! Join the call.

      • Press # 6 to hard block
      • Press #7 for a direct response
    • I did not make this call and I hope we can figure out who can be a regular call participant for our occupation. It is difficult because it is at our GA time.
    • Agenda will be sent around prior to the conference call.

  • Zero tolerance for threats or acts of physical or sexual violence towards anyone;
  • Zero tolerance for abuse of personal or public property.
  • OSD will limit drumming on the site to between the hours of 11am and 5pm only.

  • OSD will display signage and will try to have safety and/or community relations mediators in Civic Center, in order to ensure awareness of and respect for our guidelines and Good Neighbor Policy.
  • OSD will at all times have a community relations mediator on-site (to be appointed each day), to monitor and respond to community concerns and complaints.

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.
