NEWS
- IMPORTANT:
- - Live Stream back up -- http://www.livestream.com/occupysandiegolivefeed
- 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.
- 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.
- Media (note, prior media is listed at the bottom of this page):

GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY
To allow for a respectful and safe environment for our Occupy family, Occupy San Diego announces the following Good Neighbor Policy (similar to that adopted by Occupy Wall Street):
- Zero tolerance for drugs or alcohol anywhere in the occupied space in Civic Center Plaza;
- 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 encourages all participants to respect health and sanitary regulations, and will direct all participants to respectfully utilize appropriate off-site sanitary facilities.
- 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.
- Go to the web version of the email blast.
- Scroll to the bottom. Click "More Topic Actions"
- Go to the sections "Compare Revisions"
- Compare the current topic ("3" in this one) to 1 (which is the prior day's)
- 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.
