NEWS


Occupy Walkers as they take off. Now in Encinitas.

M11_San_Onofre_Flier-1up-fmclip.png Details: M 11 San Onofre Protest And Rally

San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)
  • NEW Press Release on M11 San Onofre Protest sent to media and all lists today.
  • Contacted by KPFA -- They want to run our livestream along with many other protests happening on March 11 regarding the Fukushima disaster.
  • US News media has blacked out news about the continued full meltdown at Fukushima and the radioactive contamination of the area because most of the media is owned by companies who also have a stake in the nuclear industry. NBC which has the most left-leaning news station, MSNBC is wholly owned by GE, a nuclear industry leader.
  • Details: M 11 San Onofre Protest And Rally -- but campground does not allow camping, only day use at the time of the event.
  • Still seeking endorsement by OSD.

Media

2012 Feb 22

Media: Occupy San Diego

  • The system runs over people Miguel Castaneda reports on Occupy San Diego activist Raul Carranza's personal struggle to stop cuts in funding for the disabled. Jerry Brown is proposing further cuts to social services. For the disabled and the elderly, this means slashing $678 million from Medi-Cal, $168 million from In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) and $1 billion from Cal WORKs.

  • #OccupyWalk: Eight Protestors March From Del Mar, Calif. to Delmar, Del. (or thereabouts) The Occupy Walk is a National March starting at San Diego, California February 11th, walking across the United States taking a southern route to bypass winter in the first months of the walk. They plan on meeting up with people from other Occupations, groups who plan their own route to meet up with the national march, and anyone in any town that wants to walk for the cause. This walk will help promote the Occupy cause by drawing attention to the injustices that were first presented by the Occupy Wall Street Movement in 2011

Media: Occupy National and Global

  • Iceland's Viking Victory Congratulations to Iceland. Fitch has upgraded the country to investment grade BBB – with stable outlook, expecting government debt to peak at 100pc of GDP. The OECD's latest forecast said growth will be 2.4pc this year, after 2.9pc in 2011. Unemployment will fall from 7pc last year to 6.1pc this year and then 5.3pc in 2013.

  • Hundreds of Protesters Form Silent Chain Outside Virginia Capitol Virginia's lawmakers have had an extremely busy month pissing all over the rights of women in the state. And today, when lawmakers made their way into or out of the capitol, they were greeted by over 1,000 protesters— mostly women— linking arms and standing silently in protest.

  • Occupy Nashville Holds Ceremony to Decorate Their Free Speech Money Tent On Tuesday, February 21st at 8:30 p.m., Occupy Nashville will hold a ceremony to decorate their Free Speech Money Tent--the first one of its kind in the country. Because Tennessee legislators recognize that money is free speech but most of them fail to recognize that tents (used to protect protesters from the elements) are free speech, Occupy Nashville is putting their money where their mouth is and attempting to speak the language of the legislators. Perhaps when tents are plastered with cash, they will finally be recognized as a part of the protesters First Amendment rights

  • Occupy Continues to Declare Victories Recent raids on the Occupy movement's major camps have led some mainstream media outlets to declare that all the camps are "gone," a claim easily disproven by visiting any one of the dozens of cells still operating in smaller towns and cities all across the country. Not only are many camps still in operation, but the offshoots of Occupy are not only surviving, but securing real, meaningful victories, which should interest media players who bemoaned that Occupy was too ideologically scattered and too flighty to fight for lasting policy changes.

  • Does Occupy Wall Street Have a Future in Politics? As Occupy Wall Street regroups for upcoming spring demonstrations, the movement has re-entered the headlines, but not for the marches and arrests seen last fall. In January, Nathan Kleinman, a member of the Occupy Philadelphia movement, became what is believed to be the first person from the Occupy movement to run for Congress. Kleinman told Politico when he filed for his candidacy, ”You need 1,000 signatures and a hundred dollars. It’s a pretty low bar.” He has taken to Twitter and Facebook to promote what will likely be an uphill fight against Democratic incumbent Allyson Schwartz.

  • Make a Complaint: How to Make a Police Complaint
    • Use this form: Complaint Form
    • Forms also available in the lobby of City Hall.
    • Citizen's Review Board member says we do NOT need names & badge numbers. File the complaint & it's up to SDPD to determine who the officer was (But it is better if we have them, of course).
  • ALSO: By telephone or in writing to
    • SDPD Internal Affairs Unit, 1401 Broadway, MS 709, San Diego CA 92101, (619) 531-2801
    • Complaints made to the Citizens Review Board do not necessarily make it into the officers' personnel files
    • Read this: Making Police Compliants That Stick
  • Also, consider making a CLAIM against the city for your BOND money if charges were never filed. They have 45 days to reject the claim, then you file a lawsuit. It costs $400 to file unless you can claim low income.
