Occupy Update!

NEWS

ALERT ALERT ALERT ALERT
THANKSGIVING not too happy thanks to early morning raid by SDPD, arresting three individuals.
Early this morning, Thanksgiving Day, the San Diego Police arrested three individuals around 2 AM. The first, a disabled man who uses a wheelchair, was arrested for "indecent exposure" after urinating in a bottle. The second two for sleeping in public. Essentially, all three were arrested for the crime of being poor and homeless. But as has become clear, this is selective enforcement. Throughout the city of San Diego, these "crimes" are committed. However, they are only enforced in the Civic Center Plaza. They are only enforced where the homeless have become politically active, as part of the nationwide Occupy Wall Street movement. This has become abundantly clear to me as I have regularly spent time at the Civic Center Plaza since the original Occupation on October 8th. It is truly shameful that Mayor Jerry Sanders is directing this, that Police Chief Lansdowne allows his police force to be misused for political repression, and our City Council stands by passively and allows it to continue.
  • This was a heartless and despicable act by the SDPD on Thanksgiving morning. I believe they use these arbitrary arrests in a little game the police are trying to play called, "you do what we want, and we won't engage in arbitrary arrests." Frankly, the concept that the police can just arbitrarily arrest someone for the "crime" of sleeping, must be stopped. Sleeping is not a crime.

  • Lori Saldana, former state Assembly member (and candidate for Congress) has announced that she will work with us to get an investigation and hearing by state officials (hopefully) here in San Diego regarding the rampant abuse and infringement of our constitutional rights, as described above. Intense scrutiny has been given to actions at UC Davis, but the despicable actions of the SDPD far exceed anything done there, but so far has been given the blind eye by officials.
    • Ray Lutz will be setting up a new petition to gather signatures in support of the hearings.
    • Suggest that a press release calling for the investigation and hearing, linking to the petition and detailing many of the abuses, should go out on Monday.

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!

[SDCPJ] Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day?

Black Friday or Buy Nothing Day?
And then what?

The day after Thanksgiving in the US is called Black Friday because it is supposedly a day where so much shopping happens that stores get out of the "red" (negative) for the year. BUT it's also a day of mass consumerism, crazy-making and violence. Yes, literal craziness to the extent that people even DIE from stampedes of shoppers -- just check out the online search https://duckduckgo.com/?q=black+friday+deaths

Okay, maybe money is tight and your washing machine broke and you can only afford one on deep discount, if at all... Or, you want to do your part to shop consciously for discounted Organic Fair Trade coffee or such... I get it. The economy does suck for "99%" of us, in different ways depending on your class, race, community, etc. Let alone the rest of the world.

BUT, I'm not talking about just one day. This is about changing a system. A protest that lasts one day is a symbol, like Thanksgiving, of something else more meaningful and is certainly useful. But what do we do *after* that day? If you wonder what that "more" meaning is or what you can do, consider celebrating the season in a different style...

Below are FOUR events for your consideration...

--1--

Join us for BUY NOTHING DAY!

@ Peace Resource Center of San Diego
3850 Westgate Place, San Diego 92105
Inside the Friends Center

Choose: 10am-noon or 1pm-3pm

Watch "The Story of Stuff" and other short films and intriguing trailers
Learn about consumerism, manufacturing, and advertising.
Transform your holiday season and more

Bring your friends and make new ones!
Bring any leftovers you have to share!

What is Buy Nothing Day? from wikipedia... first organized in Mexico in September 1992 "as a day for society to examine the issue of over-consumption." In 1997, it was moved to the Friday after American Thanksgiving, also called "Black Friday", which is one of the 10 busiest shopping days in the United States. Outside North America and Israel, Buy Nothing Day is the following Saturday.  Participation now includes more than 65 nations.

Buy Nothing Day with OCCUPY SAN DIEGO

Friday Nov 25th, 11am-4pm
Meet at Kearny Mesa Transit Center
@ 163 & Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego
Details will be told on site
Brought to you by Direct Action

Flyer at http://obrag.org/?p=49994&mid=535
Background from http://www.adbusters.org/campaigns/bnd

You've been sleeping on the streets for two months pleading peacefully for a new spirit in economics. And just as your camps are raided, your eyes pepper sprayed and your head's knocked in, another group of people are preparing to camp-out. Only these people aren't here to support occupy Wall Street, they're here to secure their spot in line for a Black Friday bargain at Super Target and Macy's.

Occupy gave the world a new way of thinking about the fat cats and financial pirates on Wall Street. Now lets give them a new way of thinking about the holidays, about our own consumption habits. Lets' use the coming 20th annual Buy Nothing Day to launch an all-out offensive to unseat the corporate kings on the holiday throne. This year's Black Friday will be the first campaign of the holiday season where we set the tone for a new type of holiday culminating with #OCCUPYXMAS. As the global protests of the 99% against corporate greed and casino capitalism continues, lets take the opportunity to hit the empire where it really hurts…the wallet.

On Nov 25/26th we escape the mayhem and unease of the biggest shopping day in North America and put the breaks on rabid consumerism for 24 hours. Flash mobs, consumer fasts, mall sit-ins, community events, credit card-ups, whirly-marts and jams, jams, jams! We don't camp on the sidewalk for a reduced price tag on a flat screen TV or psycho-killer video game. Instead, we occupy the very paradigm that is fueling our eco, social and political decline.

Historically, Buy Nothing Day has been about fasting from hyper consumerism – a break from the cash register and reflecting on how dependent we really are on conspicuous consumption. On this 20th anniversary of Buy Nothing Day, we take it to the next level, marrying it with the message of occupy…

We #OCCUPYXMAS.
Shenanigans begin November 25!

[SDCPJ] Militarization of Campus Police

Remember when universities used to expel students instead of spray them with chemical agents? Great article below about what's at stake for students today and the uneven handling of student protests.

[SDCPJ] No War, No Warming - Activist San Diego Program tonight!

Monday, November 21st

ASD Gen. Meeting/Workshop - Building "No War, No Warming" Campaign: Learn about Grassroots Global Justice
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Joyce Beers Community Center, 3900 Vermont St, San Diego, 92103
Networking for Social Justice allows activists to build power at all levels. At ASD we understand the importance of not only networking but also educating our bases and mobilizing for social change. The Occupy Movement is a testament that we need to do more, as the status quo is being challenged by many sectors of our society.
 
We need to actively participate in the re-shaping of our society. That's why we want to invite you to come to our presentation/workshop entitled "No War, No Warming; Build an Economy for the People and the Planet."

This is an effort that is being carried out by many people who, like you, are fed up with the false solutions that are being pushed on us by the power elite. We need real solutions that come from folks like you and me; working class families, communities of color, women, LGBT, indigenous people, and all the people that the current system excludes. We need to be at the forefront of shaping those solutions. Let's discuss what that means and how we in San Diego can help define the future for all of us.

Somehow this event was missed in the blast, but it sounds really good, so I am blasting it separately.

OCCU-PIE San Diego--Everyone deserves a fair share of the pie!!
Nov. 21 (Monday), 5:30 pm, Civic Center Plaza
On the Monday before Thanksgiving, multi-faith leaders from San Diego County will hold a short service of peace, nonviolence, gratitude, thanks and sharing. As a community of Occupy supporters and friends we are all invited to bring pies of all sorts, (chicken, turkey, tofu, pumpkin, peach, apple) to share together in thanks and gratitude for those holding the space at our local Occupation and to give thanks for all those lifting up the issues of fairness, compassion and equality being shared by this movement. Mostly, it is a day of gratitude for what we already have, including each other. Please bring the whole pie, perhaps equally pre-cut, to this multi-faith event. Paper plates, napkins, and forks will be provided.

NEWS

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!

  • Note about Alert sent today: The alert sent to email blast list was sent at about noon. Many people were checking their email later, came down to the Civic Center Plaza at maybe 6pm and wondered what all the hoopla was about. The request for the email blast came from the Celly text list (see details below to subscribe.) To make sure we avoid false alarms, our procedure will be to check with at least two other people on the ground. Also, the time should have been in the email to make sure you know when it was sent. This will be corrected in the future!

  • Police are trying to beat us down at the Civic Center Plaza. The following from a post on Facebook:
If you stand under the overhang at the west end of the plaza, they are calling that loitering. We were told when beginning the first teach in/workshop, where we'd always held it when it was raining or threatened to rain, that we were subject to arrest for loitering if we did not move then on order - and that we were subject to immediate arrest for the next 48 hours after the warning if we returned anywhere under the overhang. Furthermore, they will apply that to any occupier. It follows a pattern of increasing harassment and intimidation of the weekend teach ins, that is always paralleled with increased harassment of the 24-7 occupiers. Today they were also harassed for 'loitering' in the earlier morning hours for escaping the rain a little while under the overhang, and then for using umbrellas which were dubbed by the police as 'structures being erected'. The one arrest this morning was among the 24-7 occupiers who had been talking to the police about their new umbrella rule. It occurred exactly as the first teach in/workshop began, which is also a pattern. It is petty intimidation, and we will not back down.

It turns out that the law that is quoted on the sign has an exemption for peaceful political activities. Anyone who takes part in any future teach-ins should print out the information below and show to the police:

§52.80.01 Trespasses upon Privately Operated Business Premises Prohibited

(a) No person shall have the right to use privately operated business premises which are open to the general public for any purpose which is contrary to the functions or services provided thereon without the consent of the owner, operator or agent thereof. It shall be unlawful for any person so using such property to refuse or fail to leave such property upon being requested to leave by the owner, operator or agent thereof.

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person without the permission of the owner, operator or agent of privately operated business premises which are open to the general public to enter upon such premises within forty–eight (48) hours after having been requested by the owner, operator or agent thereof to leave therefrom pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (a).

(c) Exceptions. The provisions of this section shall not apply in any of the following instances:

(1) Where their application results in or is coupled with an act prohibited by the Unruh Civil Rights Act or any other provisions of law relating to prohibited discrimination against any person on account of color, race, religion, sex, creed, ancestry or national origin;

(2) Where their application would result in an interference with or inhibition of peaceful picketing directed toward the business establishment, lawful labor activities, or peaceful political activities;

(3) Where their application results in or is coupled with an act prohibited by Section 365 of the California Penal Code or any other provision of law relating to duties of innkeepers and common carriers;

(4) Where the person who is upon the privately operated business premises which are open to the general public is present under claim or color of legal right. This exception is applicable to situations wherein public officials are present in the course of their official duties and to situations involving disputes wherein the participants have available to them practical and effective civil remedies such as: marital and post–marital disputes; child custody or visitations disputes; disputes regarding title to or rights in legal property; landlord–tenant disputes; disputes between members of the same family or between persons residing upon the property concerned up until the time of the dispute; business–type disputes such as those between partners; debtor–creditor disputes; and instances wherein the person claims a right to be present pursuant to order, decree or process of a court.

also, see http://usff.com/hldl/courtcases/kolendervlawson.html regarding PC 647 (e), the other law cited by the sign, which was found to be unconstitutional.

  • GA notes -- will be sent as a separate email blast, when available.

  • Hunger Strike -- John Kenney continues his hunger strike, now in day 13. He is requesting that the City come to the table and discuss the right of Occupy San Diego to conduct protests in the form of an encampment. John is now sick and I am starting to worry about his health.

TAKE ACTION

This is a new section and will list a number of things YOU can do right now to help.

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.

[SDCPJ] Fw: [OccupySD] Occupy Update for 11/20

NEWS

Despite what you might here 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!

From an email

Now police are trying to starve the Occupiers out of Civic Center. They actually stopped a lady and told her she couldn't bring 2 pizzas into Civic Center. She could only bring in what she could consume. A young lady mic checked (yelled/asked what was happening) real quick and the crowd ran up and got some pizza. The young lady then asked them/SDPD to stop making up laws that don't exist and the female cop threatened to arrest her for Public Intoxication.

I think it is a shame that the City Council and the Mayor are using the SDPD to harass and annoy these young people who are only trying to exercise their rights to peaceably protest, under the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. Their right to assembly and their right of free speech has been infringed upon by the SD City Government - all of it and you all should be ashamed of yourselves!

  • GA notes -- will be sent as a separate email blast, when available.

  • Hunger Strike -- John Kenney continues his hunger strike, now in day 12. He is requesting that the City come to the table and discuss the right of Occupy San Diego to conduct protests in the form of an encampment.
