[SDCPJ] Are YOU doing "Arts for Peace" ? Submissions DUE WED 1/15

SUBMISSION form due THIS WED!!
 

~ Call for Creativity! ~

Arts for Peace Project
Theme: Civil Rights

On the last Wed. in August in 1963, more than 250,000 people converged for the March on Washington, concerned about civil rights and the direction of our country. Martin Luther King Jr. also gave his famous "I have a dream" speech this day. But the Aug. 28th event was just one of many important moments within the Civil Rights movement. Much was accomplished both before and after, but today there is still more work to be done...

How are you inspired? What change will you create? 
Let us each work as one and together in fostering a better world.

We invite you to dream & express your ideas, individually or with a group, through your own choice of medium, such as song, dance, visual art, poetry, photography, essays, puppetry, sculpture, speech, etc.

[SDCPJ] Saturday! ~ RALLY TO DEFEND TRANS* RIGHTS!

RALLY TO DEFEND TRANS* RIGHTS

Transgender students moved one step closer to justice with the passing of the School Success and Opportunity Act (AB 1266) this year. This brand new California bill guarantees transgender students safe access to necessary school facilities & activities in public schools. As you may know, this bill and these students are under attack by national transphobic organizations. Since the fall of 2013, they have been running a media smear campaign against trans* youth and lying to the public to get this issue on the ballot.

California officials have until Jan. 8th to complete a random verification sample of the signatures. Depending on the validity rate, they may either a) qualify the referendum b) fail to qualify the referendum or c) trigger a complete verification process which would take until March to complete. WHETHER THEY QUALIFY THE REFERENDUM OR NOT, WE WILL RALLY IN HILLCREST TO SUPPORT OUR YOUTH!

[SDCPJ] Celebration of Life: Lyle "Rocky" Neptun Saturday, February 1, 2014 -- 2 p.m.


Lyle "Rocky" Neptun -- Celebration of Life

Saturday, February 1, 2014  2 p.m.
First Church of the Brethren
3850 Westgate Place, San Diego, CA 92105
Please bring vegetarian finger food to share.

Hosted by: David Barrows, Virginia Franco, Carol Jahnkow and Herb Shore

Please join together with friends of Rocky Neptun for a celebration of a life well-lived.

Rocky was murdered at his home in Tijuana on December 7th. The violent death of a friend and comrade is particularly difficult to comprehend, but it does call to us to renew our efforts for a peaceful, nonviolent and just world which is what Rocky wanted and for which he worked and dedicated his life. Let us come together as a community to share our memories of Rocky.  

Rocky was involved throughout the years with a number of organizations and causes, including the San Diego Friends Meeting (Quakers), Peace Resource Center, the San Diego Affordable Housing Coalition, Activist San Diego, Green Party,homeless issues, gay rights issues and more. He was also a journalist/writer with strong opinions on many issues.  

This is truly a loss to his family and friends, as well as our community.  Even if you did not personally know Rocky, he was out there fighting for you and your rights.

Rocky's ashes were spread off the Rosarito Beach pier. He asked that those who wished to donate in his memory to please send donations to the Humane Society or to perform one hour of community service.

Socialists Have a Victory in America: Seattle's Kshama Sawant


Both the Democrats and Republicans have squandered our democracy, economy and environment with their backing of corporate powers...and lack of respect for the American people...their welfare and safety.

In the name of profit, they have destroyed many of our Mom and Pop businesses...stolen our homes in an illegal ponzi real estate scheme hosted by banksters. Since FDR and the new deal, they have convinced us that socialism and communism were wrong (the Soviet model was not a good one...just as this country's model of capitalism and democracy are not good)....which has led to the destruction of our communities, jobs, businesses, environment...on and on.  This country used to have many socialist mayors and communist mayors.

That is how Social Security came into play.

After WWII, the socialists were labeled and destroyed by the media and its corporate masters to reverse the gains obtained by everyday people following the recovery from the depression and the gains the middle class enjoyed.

Slowly, the corporate powers have rolled back the clock to the point where we have lost most of the middle class and we are struggling with higher prices, stagnant wages and raped local economies. We are seeing a change in the American diaspora.

People are waking up to the plunder of our families and understanding that socialism is not the terrible thing that it was made out to be. People concerned for our community (communists) are not the savages that they were made out to be. A new wave is rising. A wave of justice and loss of power for the corporate elite and their stooges.

The Democratic party although very similar to the Republican party is closer to the standard of protecting everyday people. We must put pressure on them to focus on the welfare of the people instead of their corporate masters.

There has been a great victory in Seattle. I wanted you all to be aware of this http://kplu.org/post/seattles-new-gay-mayor-socialist-council-member-be-sworn

Walter Davis and Laurie Anspach, Director of Citizens Commission on Human Rights Florida explore diffcult issues facing military members and their families.

An Investigation Into the Sudden Deaths of Soldiers---Dr. Fred Baughman, Stan White, Walter Davis and Laurie Anspach, Director of Citizens Commission on Human Rights Florida
Wednesday, January 8th (noon Eastern ST) 9 AM Pacific
Dr. Fred Baughman, neurologist and Stan White  will open your eyes to what most of our world has not event considered. Dr. Baughman, a seasoned physician, who has discovered and described medical diseases, read the May 24, 2008, Charleston Gazette article "Vets taking Post Traumatic Stress Disorder drugs die in sleep," and opened and financed his own investigation into these unexplained deaths.

Andrew White, Eric Layne, Nicholas Endicott and Derek Johnson, all in their twenties, were four West Virginia veterans who died in their sleep in early 2008. There were no signs of suicide or of a multi-drug "overdose" leading to coma, as claimed by the Inspector General of the VA. All had been diagnosed "PTSD"--a psychological diagnosis, not a disease (physical abnormality) of the brain. All were on the same prescribed drug cocktail, Seroquel (antipsychotic), Paxil (antidepressant) and Klonopin (benzodiazepine) and all appeared "normal" when they went to sleep.

Learn about Dr. Baughman's investigation and learn what you can do to prevent more of these senseless deaths.

Soldiers Who Arrive Home and End Up Behind Bars----Steve Talmadge (attorney), Walter Davis and Laurie, Director of Citizens Commission on Human Rights Florida
Sat. Jan. 11 5PM Eastern 2 PM Pacific
"You may be surprised to find out that many of our soldiers are arriving home only to end up behind bars in psychiatric wards. At one time, a young man wasn't able to enter the military if he was taking psychiatric medication.  Now, that's all changed!

Soldiers are being placed on mind-altering drugs that cause hallucinations, delusions, psychosis, mania, suicidal and homicidal thoughts among many other horrendous effects.

They arrive home, with their prescriptions and when they don't fair so well in civilian life, are committed for a 72 hour hold. The vicious circle is wrapped tightly with a bow and only those who are fully informed of the facts can right these wrongs." (Director of the Citizens Commission on Human Rights of Florida)
You will get a chance to hear from the Director of this very active non-profit, as well as Attorney, Stephen Talmadge, on this subject.
(Dr. Stephen Alfred Talmadge, Jr. was awarded a Ph.D. in psychology in 1989, after which he served as a licensed clinical psychologist during his 20 year career in the Navy. In 1997, he became a Diplomate in Forensic Psychology, performing evaluations and testifying in military proceedings for all services, worldwide. After retiring from the Navy, Steve graduated from law school. Prior to his current position, he was employed by a public defender as a law clerk, working on cases that involved involuntary commitment (Baker Acts). Steve is very knowledgeable about Baker Act law and administrative rules. He has assisted people in many states who were Baker Acted in Florida. Steve is published in psychological and legal journals.)

[SDCPJ] National Lawyers Guild Applauds the Compassionate Release of Lynne Stewart

 

 

National Lawyers Guild Applauds the Compassionate Release of Lynne Stewart

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 31, 2013

Contact: Tasha Moro, Communications Coordinator
212-679-5100 ext. 15

NEW YORK —Today Judge John G. Koeltl granted the Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) request for the compassionate release of Lynne Stewart.  This is heartening news. Ms. Stewart is 74 years old and has terminal cancer with a life expectancy of less than 18 months. She has been serving a ten-year sentence at the Federal Medical Center Carswell (FMC Carswell) in Fort Worth, Texas, in connection with her defense of Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman.

As her condition has continued to deteriorate, the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and several legal and social justice organizations have twice called on Attorney General Eric Holder to direct the BOP to grant compassionate release. Given that Ms. Stewart's medical condition clearly falls within recent reforms to the BOP's compassionate release program announced by Holder in August, and that the warden at FMC Carswell had earlier approved her release, the NLG urged that the process of consideration be expedited.

"From arrest to sentencing, Lynne Stewart's case was used by the Department of Justice to send a chilling message to attorneys: think twice about who you represent! For speaking to a Reuters reporter about her client's viewpoints – in violation of an administrative order – an ailing Ms. Stewart was sentenced to a decade in prison. Today's small measure of justice does little to repair the damage wrought by the government's unjust prosecution of an advocate whose service to society has been widely documented," said Heidi Boghosian, Executive Director of the NLG.

Robert J. Boyle, one of Lynne Stewart's attorneys added, "We are gratified and thankful that the government has agreed to Lynne's compassionate release request. She has dedicated her life to fighting for justice for the underserved and unpopular. Lynne can now return home to her family and to the community that loves her."

Ms. Stewart is a longtime member of the National Lawyers Guild. Since her initial indictment, Guild members have educated the public about the many ways her case runs afoul of the Constitution. The Guild's 2005 publication The Case of Lynne Stewart: A Justice Department Attack on the Bill of Rights is available at nlg.org.
