NEWS

  • Temporary Restraining Order DENIED
    • Judge William Hayes rules against the temporary restraining order filed by Occupiers in Federal Court.
      • Full Ruling:http://on.fb.me/uU9kWF
      • This decision is surprising in that it says the SDMC 54.0110 is "narrowly drawn".
  • Tables Return to Freedom Plaza
    • The day after Raymond Lutz is arrested while registering voters Occupiers return with tables and voter registration cards to engage in peaceful political activity as is their Constitutional right
    • SDPD tell Occupiers while voter registration is allowed putting tables down is not and threaten to arrest anyone who does so.
    • Occupiers were still registering voters at a table throughout the day and night at Civic Center
  • Raymond Lutz arrested!
    • Lutz arrested while engaging in the peaceful political activity of voter registration at Civic Center Plaza.
    • Owner/Operators of Civic Center Office Building include Goldman Sachs, hedge funds and Wall St. Banks -- a who's who of the criminal banking industry 0.1%
    • Ray Lutz has filed a lawsuit against the owners and operators of the Civic Center Plaza building, that invoked the citizens arrest.
      • Press conference held Nov 30 at 5pm to announce the lawsuit.
      • Attorney Michael Aguirre will handle the case on contingency basis, but we still will need to fund-raise for court costs and fees, for war chest and defense fund.
      • Fundraising will be set up shortly separate from OSD funds.
      • I daresay they will be very sorry they stepped over this line.
      • Read the text of the complaint by Lutz against CBRE
    • The ACLU is considering taking up a case to test Pruneyard for the case like what we have in San Diego: The public square where part of it is owned by a private party, and the fact that voters who were registering were not allowed to complete their registrations.
  • Yet Another Arrest at Freedom Square
    • Occupier Curtis Williams AKA "Hex" arrested for the unbelievable crime of tearing caution tape early Wednesday morning.
  • Hunger Strike -- John Kenney continues his hunger strike, now in day 24. 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.
    • Need to get a wheelchair for John at this point as he is feeling weak. Any donations?
  • Jury Trial for Randy Wolling, AKA "Sage" -- Jury is now deliberating.
    • Sage was sitting on the sidewalk after the second raid. He is charged with impeding an officer, and illegal assembly.
    • He has been in jail since Oct 28, over a month due to two other previous charges outstanding: meditating on Blacks Beach and being on Blacks Beach before 6am.
    • I can't believe they are wasting their time and money on this. No wonder our government is low on money.

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] OSD request for TRO denied; Lutz files Civil Suit over arrest

LUTZ FILES CIVIL RIGHTS SUIT AGAINST BUILDING MANAGER OVER ARREST WHILE REGISTERING VOTERS AT CIVIC CENTER PLAZA
http://www.eastcountymagazine.org/node/8018

Occupy San Diego request for a Temporary Restraining Order was denied. Judge Hayes ruled that that the municipal code is not void for vagueness, that the ordinance is not unconstitutionally overbroad, etc.. An unjust decision by a former City Attorney / biased judge. Read the ruling here: NOTE YOU NEED A GOOGLE ACCOUNT TO READ THE DOCUMENT

[SDCPJ] PLEASE From Monique Verdin: Please sign this petition to have the HOUMA nation federally recognized

Please friends it only takes a minute.

Sign this petition, I just
did. My friend photographer Monique Michelle
Verdin brought to light
the problems in Southern Louisiana with her exhibit
Disappearing
Landscapes. One of the most disturbing facts is that her
people, the
Houma, are not federally recognized. This recognition would give
more
protection to their land. THEY NEED 19,000 signatures by
tomorrow!
PLEASE SIGN AND SPREAD THE WORD!

‎From Ray Lutz approximately 1:30 a.m. via Facebook:

"I'm finally out of jail and back at home. Made a number of friends in jail -- no one could believe that I was arrested for just trying to register voters in the public square. I still can't believe the audacity... The worst part was the handcuffs in the back of the car, where they let me sit for at least an hour. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!"

On the Nov 25 email blast, Lori Saldana was
mentioned in an effort to start a state level
investigation into actions by cities in response to
various occupations. The way these sentences
were constructed implied that Lori has said more
than she actually did, and we regret this error.

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!

You can help by telling a friend or putting posters up in your communities. The more people who come, the more diverse and awesome the free market will be! Most importantly, come out and join us!

[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.
